The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

The woman's dance wasn't particularly beautiful, perhaps even immature. But despite this, Tantai Wuyue still liked it. She danced among the crimson cherry blossoms, like a spirit of the blossoms. There was no sense of disobedience. She was enchanting, yet captivating, yet inviting.

Tantai Wuyue liked her like this. Just when he was fascinated by her, the woman turned around and looked back at him with a faint smile.

That smile, like a stone, landed in the already restless lake of his heart, creating ripples. Years later, Tantai Wuyue recalled the scene and finally understood. This was poison. A poison called Situ Yaorao.

However, by the time he understood it, the poison had already penetrated into his bones and could not be eliminated.

After Situ Yaorao finished dancing, she dropped her fan and sat down beside him.

"Is this dance beautiful?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile.

"nice."

"If someone else danced, it might be better. Even Nangong Ling dances better than me." Situ Yaorao said with some resentment.

"But this is the most beautiful dance I've ever seen." Tantai Wuyue said sincerely. This attitude made Situ Yaorao stunned.

"One day, I will find the antidote for you. I hope that by then, you will no longer reject me like you do now." Tan Tai Wu Yue said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao nodded blankly: "If that day really comes, I will never leave you. This is a promise." But... maybe it will never be fulfilled in this lifetime.

The thing I disbelieve most in my life is promises.

"Okay." Tan Tai Wu Yue was very happy. Looking at Situ Yaorao, he wished he could detoxify her and marry her right now.

When the bell rang, the smile on Situ Yaorao's face faded. She stood up and looked at Tan Tai Wu Yue: "I'm afraid she has to go to the women's exam. See you later." After saying that, she turned around and left regardless of the man's obstruction.

Tan Tai Wu Yue closed his empty palms, sighed softly, and left helplessly.

When Situ Yaorao arrived at the main hall, many people had already gathered there. She was the last one to enter. Everyone's eyes fell on her, and there seemed to be some mockery in them.

This puzzled Situ Yaorao. But the next second, after seeing the embroidery on the table, she understood. Wasn't that two-legged creature that looked neither like a duck nor a mandarin duck, and even less like a chicken, the very thing she had embroidered that morning?

"Everyone, the results of the first female exam are in. Those who passed will have red writing on their embroidery, while those who failed will have black. I will not mention who failed. Next, let's move on to the second item."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! The Crown Prince of Mingyue Nation has arrived!" Just as Tantai Yunyi was about to begin, a sharp voice rang out from outside. Then, the women in the entire hall began to stir.

The Crown Prince of Mingyue Nation was the one who had forced these women to retake the exam just to come. Not only did everyone else get excited, but even Situ Yaorao, who had no interest in him, couldn't help but want to take a look. However, the moment Situ Yaorao turned around, she was completely stunned. She wished time could go back to the moment before she turned around, and then... she would never look at him again.

Those beautiful ruby-like eyes, staring into her eyes, made Situ Yaorao feel that she had to run faster, otherwise she would be caught.

But it was only for a moment. After exchanging glances with Situ Yaorao, the man calmly looked away. Her exquisite features, so exquisite that they eclipsed those around her, and her beautiful yet devilish eyes, were enough to drive people crazy.

People all love beauty and power. This man is powerful, beautiful, and even possesses a talent that countless people admire. So, even if those eyes are too strange, people still can't help but follow him.

But this is not the point. The point is... Holy shit, Cang is actually the prince of Mingyue Kingdom?

Situ Yaorao is really in a terrible state now. What could be more maddening than this?

If she could, Situ Yaorao would have beaten herself to death for confessing to him. Was she betraying the Crown Prince? No, that wasn't right. He had clearly left first.

Just as Situ Yaorao's mind was in a mess, the man had already stepped forward and saluted the emperor. He didn't say a word, but his words were enough to drive people crazy.

"Prince of Mingyue Country, there's no need to be so polite." The emperor was very satisfied with Cang, and then Tan Tai Wu Yue also walked in. Although Tan Tai Wu Yue was not as delicate as a man, she still made people crazy and fascinated.

If the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom is the enchanting poison, then Tan Tai Wu Yue is the pure cloud.

Tantai Wuyue stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Father, I beg your forgiveness for being late."

"Alright, go sit down," the emperor instructed calmly, then turned to the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom, "Your Highness has come from afar, and I understand your purpose. Today is the day of the female exam, so please take a good look."

"Thank you, Emperor Lanlin." The man spoke respectfully, his gaze fixed on the crowd. Situ Yaorao didn't dare meet Cang's gaze, keeping her head down and silent. Soon, the second round of the assessment was about to begin. The box that had frightened Situ Yaorao to death was brought up again. Tantai Yunyi stepped forward and opened the box.

Took out a note.

After unfolding it, I saw only poems written on it. They had to be about love.

At this point, Situ Yaorao breathed a sigh of relief. She had read quite a few poems about love in modern times. Could she use them to fool people?

After all, this didn't mean she had to write her own original poem. Situ Yaorao shifted her thoughts in her mind as she wrote a line of poetry on paper. As for why it wasn't a full poem, some things, being perfect, were actually bad.

After Situ Yaorao finished writing calmly, she put down her pen.

Time was like a stick of incense. Although Situ Yaorao had finished writing, she did not dare to raise her head. Because once she raised her head, she would meet those beautiful eyes.

She was scared.

Situ Yaorao's strange attitude also caught Tan Tai Wu Yue's attention, which forced Tan Tai Wu Yue to take another look at the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.

This man is indeed excellent. If Situ Yaorao falls in love with him, it is not impossible. He must keep an eye on Situ Yaorao to avoid being seduced by her.

Thinking about this, Tantai Wuyue's expression turned serious, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Of course, Situ Yaorao didn't know all of this. At this moment, Situ Yaorao was worried about how to explain it to Cang. After all, he was the crown prince.

What if I can't explain it well and they hold a grudge against me? I'm scared just thinking about it.

Cang's gaze kept looking around the crowd, and finally fell on Situ Yaorao. Seeing that she didn't dare to look up, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

Sure enough, it was as cute as he thought.

Soon, the incense stick of time was up. It wasn't a long time, but for Situ Yaorao, it felt like a year. After Tantai Yunyi accepted the paper, Situ Yaorao ran out almost instantly.

Upon seeing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue hurriedly chased after him.

The Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom, however, did not go. Instead, he walked up to Tantai Yunyi and said, "May I have a look at these poems?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here to choose a Crown Princess. This little matter is naturally no problem." As he said this, Tan Tai Yun Yi handed all the papers to him.

The man didn't look closely, but instead found the one with Situ Yaorao and opened it. He then fell into deep thought. His strange attitude puzzled Tan Tai Yun Yi, who couldn't help but glance over, only to be secretly alarmed.

The woman's handwriting was ugly, but the poem she wrote was beautiful: Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen Mount Wushan, all other mountains are but mounds.

"Haha, what a great saying! Once you've seen the ocean, you'll find other puddles dull." The man's voice was trembling, and it was unclear whether he was angry or too excited.

"The prince likes it very much?" Tan Tai Yun Yi felt a little wary.

"Of course I like a woman who can write such a poem." He put the paper away and said, "I will keep it."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it, then of course it's fine." Tan Tai Yun Yi's attitude was casual, but he was actually considering things. He had always considered Situ Yaorao's situation as something that affected the Crown Prince and others, but he had forgotten that there was another solution.

If... Situ Yaorao married far away to Mingyue Country, wouldn't that be better?
