She only wanted to be an ordinary peasant woman who could live a plain life with her sun, her moon, and simple food. No... in fact, she would prefer that she had never been born. In this case, she did not have to witness a defeated country and countless ruined families. Her sun would not drop down, and her moon would not fade away.

Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...
...
Red... red... the color of overwhelming red was everywhere. On the smelly and stomach-churning ruins, there were broken limbs piled up like mountains. Voices of moaning, crying, knives, and swords were ringing everywhere. Many people were killed in this place. In the distance, a battle was still spreading like an all-consuming fire. It's predictable that more people would soon be dead. This was not a war of justice. However, there had been few wars of justice since ancient times. Vultures flew far above and watched, as if they were sneering at this ridiculous tragedy.
The color of red, the smell of blood, and the voice of screaming were torturing me. I could not help trembling. However, I must calm down. I was really frightened seeing the bloody fighting on the battlefield, but I felt more scared standing beside the king.
The king was so cruel. Soldiers of the Kingdom of Shui had almost all been killed by us. However, he still gave orders to carry out a massacre to the Kingdom of Shui which had no capacity to fight back and lost its ruler.
More people were slaughtered. This capital city was once prosperous, but now it was filled with the cry of women and children. A simple word "cruel" was not enough to describe everything.
I was only a 12-year-old adopted son, a poor orphan taken in by the king. It was not my first time to witness this kind of bloody situation. I had no ability to stop such a massacre, so I could only choose to be an indifferent onlooker.
Suddenly, the king touched my head, "Zhi, when you grow up, you will become a general who protects the Kingdom of Yun."
I said nothing but bowed my head. I knew that the king was superstitious. It had been prophesied that the Kingdom of Yun would definitely rule the whole world if this country had me. There was also another prophecy:
Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun would be prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...
I did not know what this sentence meant. I only knew that the king found me, and he destroyed the Kingdom of Shui only for the little princess of the Kingdom of Shui.
At this time, a soldier brought in the little princess of the Kingdom of Shui, Shui Yinzhu. The princess was a little girl as clear as a crystal. She was like a cute jade doll. It seemed that she had no idea the Kingdom of Shui had been conquered. The little girl broke free from the soldier and ran toward me. Behind me, it was the tent door.
To be honest, I didn't want her to come over because from this place I could see the slaughter outside the tent clearly. I tried my best to cover her eyes, but it's too late. She still saw everything she shouldn't see. The face of this little kid turned pale. She could see her dead parents on a tower over the city gate.
She was staring at outside dully. Suddenly, she ran out in desperation. She screamed, "Father, mother, Yinzhu is back. I will be good! I will be good! Father... mother..." She was sobbing with a hoarse voice. She now totally lost her mind.
The king didn't let anyone stop the jade doll princess but gently ordered me to follow her for keeping her alive. Therefore, I witnessed a child who was only nine-year-old running to the battlefield covered by dead bodies like crazy. She now totally ignored the terrible and desperate surroundings. This girl was trembling when she ran, which revealed she was just a young kid. She could only see her parents at this moment. This little girl ran into the silent city. She walked on the dead bodies of soldiers of the Kingdom of Shui.
On the tower, her mother was holding the king of the Kingdom of Shui. Their bodies were kind of stiff now. The little girl leaped into the arms of the dead and cold bodies of her father and mother. Her small hands held them tightly. However, because of her strength, the two corpses which had been hugging together now both fell backwards. The little girl wanted to support them, but she did not have enough physical strength. She had dried up her tears. She kept mumbling with a hoarse voice, "Father, mother, I will be good... please... please... don't leave me..."
However, no matter how she yelled, her father and mother would never answer her. I was staring at her, having no idea what to do. This was too much for a child. Besides, I also heard from the king—this little princess of the Kingdom of Shui would be buried alive to sacrifice for her enemies in the future.
This little girl had cried for a long time before she passed out. I came forward to support her in time, but I could not ease any of her pain. Looking at the nine-year-old jade doll in my arms, I had the urge to protect someone for the first time.
Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun would be prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...
The princess of the Kingdom of Shui was now 9 years old. If she was buried alive at the age of 16 as a living sacrifice, the Kingdom of Yun would be prosperous. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Yun would perish without the sacrificial offering.
The country was conquered and countless families were ruined. A royal girl became an orphan. No one could protect her. From now on, she could only be independent. No one would cherish a delicate flower which fell down from a gigantic tree.
In the Hall of Death, Xuan Zhi stood courteously in front of the sculpture. The atheistic man sincerely prayed for the first time in his life. Lying beside him was the dead body of Shui Yinzhu.Shui Yinzhu’s body was still in the pink dress. There was a hairpin with two pearls on its hair. The body had decayed, but Xuan Zhi still grabbed her hand and treated it like a treasure.He took up a dagger and cut his two wrists. His blood flowed onto her body as if he was transferring vitality to her. When the blood was drained, his life came to an end. It was a sacrifice of his soul so that he would stay with Shui Yinzhu in the afterlife.Time went back to the day when Shui Yinzhu passed away. Xuan Zhi wrote an edict that Yun Su wouldn’t be sentenced to death and would be locked in that palace for the rest of his life. It was what Shui Yinzhu wished, and Xuan Zhi was fulfilling her wish.On the same day, Xuan Zhi abdicated the thro
He was thrilled at her consent. But when he was about to move on, he noticed the fear in her eyes. Xuan Zhi realized that it must have reminded her of what Yun Su did to her, so he stopped moving and held Shui Yinzhu in his arms instead. He wouldn’t continue, knowing that she was hurt so deep within and that she might get unhappy.“What’s wrong?” Shui Yinzhu asked.“Nothing. There’s no need to hurry. We have plenty of time for you to get used to it.”Shui Yinzhu didn’t say a word. Her Zhi had always been a silly man in front of her. She kissed on Xuan Zhi’s lips. The woman was running out of time, and she couldn’t wait for her inner world to heal. What she hated was the touch of Yun Su, the past of herself, and even her own body. But Shui Yinzhu loved Xuan Zhi. She was willing to consummate the wedding with him.Xuan Zhi was no longer repressing himself now that Shui Yinzhu had already taken the initiative. Hesitation would
“Oh, you fool. You are such a fool.”Shui Yinzhu felt moved and sad. The two opposite emotions lingered at the bottom of her heart. The mixture was kinda sweet. As she lied down in Xuan Zhi’s arms, the girl understood that she was selfish and couldn’t accept any betrayal of Xuan Zhi. Tears dropped from her eyes. Xuan Zhi loved her so much. What should be done to repay that?As he saw her tears, Xuan Zhi immediately wiped her face clean. “Come on, easy, Yinzhu. It’s my fault. Feel free to blame it on me. Just stop crying, or I will feel hurt. I’ll always be by your side and keep you happy.”Their love moved Uncle Zhi and Li Yi. But Zuo Xin was still there. Uncle Zhi had to interrupt as he said, “Your Majesty, how are we supposed to deal with Zuo Xin?”“Zhi, let go of her and marry her to Xiaojing.” No one expected to hear that from Shui Yinzhu. She wasn’t born a Bodhisatva, but she wanted to accumulate merit for him as Xuan Z
At that moment, Uncle Zhi had mixed feelings about her. He didn’t hate Shui Yinzhu. Instead, he simply felt that she had too much influence on Xuan Zhi. Besides, her reputation had been discredited by Zuo Xin. But the woman in front of her had only several months to live. Uncle Zhi agreed to her request, partly because of his selfishness and partly out of sympathy.Shui Yinzhu wiped the tears on her face, kept down her sadness, and told Uncle Zhi to get Li Yi in. No matter how bad she felt, she had to keep up with the show.The conversation was quite simple with Li Yi. Shui Yinzhu promised her that she would give an answer to everyone in a month. She got Li Yi reassured and told him to treat Paner well before sending him away.To her surprise, Xiaoba showed up right after Li Yi left. He shook Shui Yinzhu’s shoulders as his eyes went red for sadness.“Did you hear our conversation?” Shui Yinzhu immediately realized that. “Don
In the name of their so-called reputation, the men in the audience hall in the imperial palace suddenly had amnesia of the benefit they got as well as the reduced casualty. They simply tried to ditch the poor girl after conquering the Empire of Yun.That was the misfortune of women in this period of time. The men had a selfish will that the woman would make the “proper” choice so that they would secure their loyalty and morality at the same time.Shui Yinzhu never thought that Xuan Zhi would chase her out of the hall. Xuan Zhi held her in his arms and kissed her lips regardless of her resistance. It was one of the very few times for him to be aggressive in front of her.It was a clean kiss filled with warmth and yearning, different from the disgusting one of Yun Su. The two hearts in love started to beat faster. Shui Yinzhu was soon lost in that kiss. The veteran in love was as innocent as a maiden in front of him. That was how love coul
The Empire of Yun, the once superpower and the only Kingdom that ever conquered the entire world, had turned into a place in turmoil under more than ten years’ reign of Yun Su. People all over the empire complained about their rulers. The empire would soon fail, and the end was coming near.The morning session in the Empire of Yun continued. But the evil empress in red remained the same unreasonable woman. She sat in Yun Su’s arms and flirted with him even though the empire was in grave danger.The silent ministers were not sure if they should speak against their irresponsible emperor as the grave situation and the serious discussion had been defiled by the erotic aura. But Yun Su seemed to enjoy holding the beauty in his arms as he accepted it and didn’t say a single word against it.The ministers were there to suffer. They had to do their report with their head lowered. No one had the courage to look at the two on the throne. It wasn’t
“Many years ago, there was a little girl. She was the little princess of the Kingdom of Shui. Her parents loved her and provided her with the best affection. However, when she turned nine years old, the Kingdom of Yun waged war against the Kingdom of Shui... The little princess felt as if she was a jinx. In order to protect the ones she loved from dying, she had to sacrifice herself to live with her enemies.”Shui Yinzhu then told her story, including her relationship with Kong Yue and Xuan Zhi. She told the little girl about the death of Kong Yue, the injury of Xuan Zhi, the care of Qi Yuan, and the destiny of Wu Chen. She omitted the part that she was a child of the emperor’s father and how she retaliated upon the general, the Prime Minister, and the lords.Shui Yinzhu was the storyteller, but her heart still ached when she recalled the past. Surprisingly, the string of her heart could still be plucked by the past after all the time passed. She was
Speaking of the empress Shui Yinzhu, people all recognized her as the personification of a succubus. She was so charming like a vixen whose glamour in innocence could attract everyone around her. She didn’t wear the phoenix crown and robe, the status symbols as the empress but the blood-red dress. She kept her hair in a bun, and wore a simple hairpin with two pearls on it. The emperor of Yun was so fascinated by her that he forgot the responsibility of the throne and started to kill innocent people.Under the constant and mostly intentional influence of the evil empress, Yun Su raised the tax over and over again. He forced his people to do labor work and abused his power and the financial resources to build wonders. The nervous people were sent everywhere to build grandiose temporary palaces for the pleasure of the emperor and the empress.The emperor totally ignored the welfare of his people as he would torture them for saying anything wrong. He con
“Paner, where is the...bamboo scroll?”“What?”“The bamboo scroll...you mentioned.”“Oh, right.” Paner finally remembered what she came here for and took out a bamboo scroll from her pocket. This was the reason why she came to find Shui Yinzhu.“Okay.” The pain drained all the strength from Shui Yinzhu’s body. But she still managed to read the message before sending Paner to burn it.The bamboo scroll came from Wei Ruxuan. He intended to cooperate with Shui Yinzhu. It wouldn’t be hard to guess that it was because of Bu Xiaoyan. But Shui Yinzhu didn’t expect was that Wei Ruxuan could send this bamboo scroll to her through this well-guarded harem. Prime Minister Wei’s influence could reach farther than it seemed.As the window opened again, Xiaoba took out a flask and handed it to Shui Yinzhu. “I asked the doctor to have the medicine boiled for you.”“Okay.” Shui Yinzhu took the flask and
