In my own words, I found myself unexpectedly entangled in an intricate web of politics, despite being betrothed to my master. The former emperor, in a twist of fate, requested that my master take his discarded daughter as wife, a request he couldn’t deny. As part of the deal, he was asked to return Shenmei to the Shi Clan, an arrangement the previous emperor had no reason to oppose. For over two decades, Shenmei orchestrated a rebellion, one that would have crumbled easily if not for Loulan’s intervention. Yet, my daughter, in her wisdom, saw beyond the immediate challenges and managed to accomplish her goals despite being in a disadvantaged position.
