My name is Murong Hanyue.

She is the eldest daughter that her father Emperor Murong Dize and her mother Empress Liu Qianyu cherish the most, and she is also the only princess of the holy dynasty of Yanhuang Kingdom.

Since I was young, I have been regarded as the apple of my father's eye. Apart from my mother, he loves me the most.

Our father and mother loved us very much, but he was too possessive and disliked us clinging to our mother, so he often left us to her and took her out of the palace to enjoy himself.

Just like the couple flying together as described in the storybook, except that they refused to take the child with them.

I have a series of 6 younger brothers. The crown prince has shown extraordinary stability and talent since he was young, while the others are little devils in the family, naughty and mischievous, making people love and annoy them.

Our childhood was spent under the care of Grandma Huang.

She treated us as her precious treasures and doted on us, and my younger brothers were spoiled to the point of being lawless.

As the eldest sister, I learned martial arts since I was young in order to discipline my naughty younger brothers.

The prince convinces people with reason and is gentle and elegant.

As for me, I conquer the people with force and fight violence with violence.

Whenever my younger brothers disobeyed me, I would beat them until they were convinced.

Under my suppression by force, my younger brothers were able to perform and grew up to be independent young men.

My naturally gifted older brother, Crown Prince Murong Hongche, never causes any worry for anyone and has shown extraordinary wisdom and talent since childhood.

He could recite poems and compose couplets at the age of five. He was knowledgeable in academics, martial arts and state governance. He was the perfect candidate for the future emperor and deserves our sincere admiration.

The second prince, Murong Xizhe, advocated both justice and efficiency, put forward many innovative ideas, and promoted the court's reform of the judicial system.

He also personally founded an institution dedicated to training new officials with humanistic concerns.

The third prince Murong Yueran, my most mischievous brother, is keen on adventure and often leads his team into dangerous situations.

Not only did he draw detailed maps, he also discovered rich mineral resources and new species of plants and animals.

The fourth prince Murong Boyan, after hearing his parents' love story, felt deeply the injustice and constraints of the old custom of having a son and daughter married, and was determined to break this old custom.

He fought side by side with the crown prince and the second prince, and against all odds, abolished the system of widows by legislative means, thus winning more rights and freedoms for women.

He also advocated women's education and encouraged women to participate in social work.

The fifth prince Murong Jingcheng, my most money-loving brother, has loved gold, silver and jewelry since he was a child. When he grew up, he transformed this interest into business acumen.

He successfully invested in a number of emerging industries, injecting new vitality into the dynasty's economic development.

The Sixth Prince Murong Mingshuo, my youngest brother, has been tending flowers and plants with the Empress Dowager since he was young.

He improved agricultural tools and optimized irrigation technology, greatly improving the agricultural production efficiency of Yanhuang Kingdom.

Early summer of the 42nd year of the Holy Dynasty.

The sun is shining brightly, the breeze is gentle, the streets of the capital are caressed by golden light, full of vitality and bustling, heralding that a historic event is about to take place.

Today is my nineteenth birthday, Murong Hanyue, the shining pearl of Yanhuang Kingdom, Princess Chenguang, and it is also the most special day in my life.

The day when I hold a martial arts competition to find a husband.

Although my grandmother and father tried to dissuade me in every way, it was my mother who finally convinced them to comply with my wishes.

The martial arts competition for a husband for the favored Princess Chenguang of the dynasty was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which caused ripples and shook the entire Yanhuang Kingdom.

This attracted countless young talents, who flocked to the capital, hoping to stand out in this feast and become a royal consort, which would bring them endless wealth and glory.

Behind the arena, several princes who were unable to persuade their royal sister gathered in a circle and conspired in low voices.

The second prince Murong Xizhe spoke first, with a hint of confidence in his voice.

"I have found Li Yunxiang for my sister. If he is not satisfactory, I will let him go."

"This boy was born into a military family. He has been with his father since he was young and has experienced the baptism of the battlefield. Not only is he an excellent martial artist, he is also well versed in military tactics. He is definitely a young general who is both civil and military."

The Sixth Prince Murong Mingshuo smiled and patted his second brother's shoulder, expressing his approval.

"Second brother, we are really in tune with each other! I have also prepared a candidate for my sister, Shen Moxuan, a descendant of a scholarly family. This man is gentle and elegant, has been well-read since childhood, is knowledgeable, and can speak eloquently."

"What's even more rare is that he is not just a weak scholar, but also practices martial arts. He is a rare young talent who is both civil and military. I think the princess might like such a man who is both talented and heroic."

The fourth prince Murong Boyan frowned slightly, obviously having reservations about the choices made by his two royal brothers. He was quite worried.

"What if the emperor doesn't like these people?"

The fifth prince Murong Jingcheng smiled with a cunning look in his eyes, and he was rich and powerful.

"How difficult is that? If the last person you choose doesn't work out, I'll throw money at him until he gives up!"

The third prince Murong Yueran looked relaxed. He patted his fifth brother on the shoulder and teased him with a smile.

"Fifth brother, how can you be short of money as a consort? Don't worry, I have arranged the people. If the final choice really cannot satisfy the imperial sister, I have my own means to make him 'back off when he sees difficulty'."

The prince stood aside, quietly watching his brothers' lively discussion, with a faint smile on his lips, and shook his head helplessly.

You silly brothers!

After all, you still don’t understand the emperor’s mind!

Only I, the big brother, can take action!

The guard Qin Wuhen, who was standing next to Princess Murong Hanyue, followed the princess' figure closely with anxiety and worry in his eyes. He finally couldn't help but whispered to dissuade her.

"Princess, the people who come to the competition are of mixed quality. How can they be worthy of you?"

Princess Murong Hanyue seemed to see through Qin Wuhen's thoughts, and there was a hint of ridicule in her tone.

"Then according to Wuhen, is there anyone in this world who is worthy of this princess?"

Qin Wuhen's heart trembled, and he slowly retracted his outstretched hand. Those hands had wanted to touch the princess countless times, but he had given up countless times in the struggle between reason and emotion.

An imperceptible trace of loneliness passed across his face.

The princess is the master and he is the slave, so he is even less worthy.

She is a phoenix high above, and I am just a grain of sand in the dust. How can I dare to hope...

Murong Hanyue looked at his fist, which was clenched so tightly that veins were bulging.

She said nothing more, smiled brightly, turned around gracefully, and stepped onto the stage.

Princess Murong Hanyue wore a specially made corseted battle robe today. It was black in color with cloud patterns outlined in gold thread embroidered on the edges, which made her look both noble and heroic.

Her clothes were tightly tied, outlining her graceful figure. Her hair was tied up high and fixed with a simple yet gorgeous gold hairpin. A few strands of hair gently fell in front of her forehead, adding a touch of softness and unrulyness to her.

When she stepped onto the ring, her steps were firm and powerful, and every step she took showed the spirit of a heroic woman.

She gently swung the sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword cut through the air, making a crisp sound.

The audience was deeply attracted by this scene. They had never seen such a heroic princess.

Her beauty is not gentle in the traditional sense, but exudes an irresistible charm.

Those contestants who passed the preliminary selection were even more excited when they saw the stunningly beautiful figure on the stage, who looked like a female war goddess descending to the earth.
