The Fengzhao Kingdom has been passed down to Yunjiu for 37 generations. The throne has always been inherited by women, so if she is gone there will be a new crown princess.

She thought, maybe her mother the Queen would want to bring up her favorite daughter of the noble king?

Unfortunately, her father would not allow it.

After all, she and her sister were the only two legitimate imperial daughters.

Even if she died, she still had a younger sister. How could she allow the daughter of a nobleman who came from a brothel and whose father's family had no power to take the throne?

Compared to the thousands of years of history of the Flower-growing Country that she had learned, the Fengzhao Country was more like a subtle "equal rights" situation formed by the mutual restraint of both sides under the premise of respecting women.

……

Although Fengzhao Kingdom is a female-dominated society, it is divided into progressive and conservative factions.

The progressives believed that men could serve as officials and make contributions to the country. They could also fight in battles to protect women and the country.

Conservatives believe that men should stay at home to take care of their wives and daughters, and avoid showing up in public and bringing disgrace upon themselves. Fighting in battle is a woman's job.

Fengzhao State had lifted gender restrictions on imperial examinations a hundred years ago. Yunjiu, who was a princess at the time, felt overwhelmed when she heard the ministers arguing.

If you have the ability, why don't you take the imperial examination and become an official?

Who stopped you? It's just that you didn't pass the exam.

The conscription also recruits men, so who can't say a few words?

If you really like to show off so much, why not let your children serve in the military for three years? At least they are making a contribution to the country.

Some progressive people are afraid that public opinion will make them unable to get married in the future and no woman will want to marry them; yet they insist on calling themselves progressive and do not want to stay at home to take care of their wives and daughters.

That's fine, just don't get married.

But some people seek the benefits that can be gained after getting married, isn't that simply crazy?

And the conservatives - stay out of the spotlight? Then don't let your own young masters send her invitations to banquets every day, either to appreciate flowers or to compose poems and play the piano.

Even when she went out to take a breath, she would be "encountered" by various young men from wealthy families.

As the crown princess, she is busy every day. Who has time to go to your house and watch a man pulling his hair?

The king hasn't even entered the palace yet, yet everyone is fighting for the position of concubine. How disgraceful!

Both factions have extreme people, and they like to find her, the future empress, to be the judge. Yunjiu gets annoyed when she sees this, because she is not a judge.

……

But most of the ministers are normal.

Although Fengzhao practiced polyandry, there were regulations on the number of husbands a woman could marry.

The vast majority of ordinary people who were not officials appointed by the imperial court were only allowed to marry one principal husband and one concubine, and the emperor was also only allowed to marry one.

Furthermore, when registering with the government, the man must personally acknowledge that he is marrying voluntarily, which to a great extent avoids the situation where the powerful and wealthy force good people to marry.

Not to mention the annual population tax, if you are willing to spend money, then you pay it.

The behavior of an ordinary person who wants to take a concubine after getting married is equivalent to - you carry sandbags outside, while he spends money like water at home. If you meet a man who is spoiled by your favor, he will make trouble with your husband. When you return home exhausted, you still have to listen to the man yelling and acting as a judge.

Just accept this servant, he will not say a word.

And some men in the 21st century are so poor that no woman would want them even if they were thrown into Fengzhao Kingdom.

When the progressives come, they all think that some of the men here are too sloppy and lack self-respect.

Those who are incompetent will probably be automatically classified as conservatives.

As for the conservatives...some of the older ones who are too old to think straight would probably be angered to death on the spot if they came.

The feudal remnants of Fengzhao Kingdom probably don't even last for more than 21st centuries.

Of course, it may also be that the total population is not as large as the 1.1 billion population, making the proportion of a certain group seem smaller.

……

But that was all a long time ago. After facing the reality, Yunjiu no longer thought about his past identity.

It is easy to have psychological gaps in all aspects.

She was forcibly taken back to the Ji family when she was nine years old.

Everyone in the Ji family was very unhappy about her arrival, and it was only because of the revelations from their business rivals that they had to take her away from the orphanage with reluctance.

Although he didn't like her, Yunjiu still had a small independent room due to her family's financial situation.

Although it was on the same level as the housekeeping room, it was definitely better than the multi-person dormitory in the orphanage.

The status of illegitimate children in today's society is inherently criticized and shameful.

After all, laws that have nothing to do with bad things but are involved in all good things are something we must be wary of.

Madam Ji regarded Yunjiu as a thorn in her side.

No matter how Father Ji proved that he really didn't know of her existence, and that Yunjiu was only taken back because of the schemes of a business rival, Madam Ji was still unhappy.

So, she allowed her children to suppress her illegitimate daughter.

Yunjiu knew that he was in the wrong because of his identity, so he endured it for a while and took the initiative to suggest returning to the orphanage, even if it meant moving to a city farther away.

The Ji family pretended to be calm and said: It’s not that your family treats you badly, but they don’t want to raise you. You have a father, but you still go to an orphanage. Do you want to embarrass them on purpose?

If this PUA was a real child, he might have listened to it, but Yunjiu had seen so many intrigues for power, how could he be fooled?

It’s just that the Ji family has done too many bad things, and in recent years, their business rivals have caught them and revealed many things, making them notorious in the business circle today.

If they are accused of abandoning their illegitimate daughter, and their rival company uses internet trolls to fabricate rumors, will they face more pressure from public opinion?

This is all blamed on her?

……

Yunjiu exploded quickly, she was not a person with a good temper.

Being patient won't bring peace, but taking a step back will only make you angrier.

So in order to be able to strike back when she was verbally bullied, Yunjiu picked up the martial arts from her previous life.

Children, they quarrel and fight...

——How ‘normal’.

Over a period of three years, Yun Jiu was sent to a militarized school by the Ji family after she had beaten the Ji family's twins, as well as the group of people who bullied her at school, into the hospital.

It's a pity that Yunjiu studied diligently in the orphanage until he was nine years old. He fought for three years after returning to the Ji family. After being sent away at the age of twelve, he finally had a year of peaceful campus life.

As a result, the 'peaceful' life was disrupted again at the age of thirteen.

……

The natural disaster struck before I could finish my twelve years of compulsory education.

Tsunamis, high temperatures, sandstorms, earthquakes, droughts, cold waves, blizzards...

The various deformed fish in the sea caused riots due to pollution, and all coastal cities suffered.

Some of the countries on the islands were the first to collapse. Based on the history that Yunjiu knew, it could be considered a case of reaping what one sows.

Many people lost their homes and families due to natural disasters. They felt resentment and indignation, and ridiculed the island nation for being so slow in coming to retribution.

After she turned thirteen, she was able to survive in a world where people 'eat' each other, thanks in large part to her martial arts skills learned in her previous life and her itchy desire to beat people up in this life.

At first, the arrival of natural disasters caused prices of all kinds of goods to rise rapidly, but there was still no demand for them.

Many people believe that natural disasters are the retribution for excessive depletion of the earth's resources, and most of these resources are in the hands of the rich.

When earthquakes and various natural disasters occur around the world, police resources are used first for rescue, leaving fewer police forces to maintain order in society.

As public pressure increases, the first to suffer after the riots are the wealthy groups.

……

At first, cars worth hundreds of millions were smashed in public, people in fancy clothes were beaten up in the streets, and those who had shown off their wealth online were all singled out and scolded.

When even ordinary people would be mocked for buying one more onion and being called "rich people who waste resources", everyone feels insecure.

It was not until the story broke that the family of the owner of a detached villa in a luxury residential area was murdered in their home and the murderer had lived there brazenly for a month before being discovered.

All of this seems to be a signal for violent elements to have a carnival.

In fact, anyone with a little bit of common sense would understand that this is just an excuse made by potential criminals in society.

Those who can be instigated by these remarks and do evil things are not clean themselves.

Stupid people who cannot learn to think for themselves always follow what others say.

No matter whether it is before or after the end of the world, if you are alive, you will only be used as a gun by others.

The difference is that people who are luckier and more timid live longer; those who are stupid, bad and impulsive are more likely to get into trouble.

……

Yunjiu only listened to some gossip about these things and didn't pay much attention to them.

She was luckier at that time and stayed in school for the first six months.

Although prices rise dramatically during natural disasters, it is a public school after all, and we can't just let the students starve to death.

Ordinary meals will still be provided. Although the portions are small, they are still enough to fill you up.

However, the classes were stopped early, and even the teachers were in a panic, so no one was in the mood to teach.

Three years after she caused trouble in the Ji family, the Ji family deliberately sent her to this school famous for its militarized management, just to prevent her from thinking of returning to the "Ji family" on weekends.

The campus of this school is located in the suburbs, with inconvenient transportation. During every holiday, students are taken to the city by school bus.

There are no shops around and very few houses, but the school is well-equipped.

After the natural disaster, this place became a relatively safe place and was later used as one of the bases.
