The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Love can make a person no longer feel like themselves. Situ Yaorao looked at the man, and for the first time, she felt a desire to spend her life with him. No matter what the future held, no matter if he let her down. She simply wanted to be with him forever, even if... there were many things she had to face.

Even if...she would even get hurt.

This feeling made Situ Yaorao feel novel and interesting. To be able to want to be with someone so much, this feeling was really too rare.

"Yao Rao, this female exam is very troublesome. If there is any danger, you must withdraw immediately." Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yao Rao and couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked at him with confusion: "Dangerous? It's just a women's exam, how could it be dangerous?"

"You underestimate the women's exam. For the women of Lanlin, it is an opportunity to make a big leap forward. Once you fail the exam, it will affect your own wealth and your future. This time, my father has issued an order that anyone who comes here and fails will be deemed to have failed the exam, no matter whether they have passed it before. This is bound to make many people fight to their death." When Tan Tai Wu Yue said this, he couldn't help but frowned.

"If that's the case, why don't they give up?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"Because of the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom. These women can do even crazier things for that man." Tan Tai Wu Yue was a little helpless when talking about this.

"The Crown Prince of Mingyue Country..." This wasn't the first time Situ Yaorao had heard of this person. But every time she heard him, there was no doubt that it was because of this female exam.

"The Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom, Feng Ziqi. He is the first heir to the throne of Mingyue Kingdom. He is a mysterious person. He is born with beauty, like a fairy. It is said that he has amazed countless men and women. He has driven countless people crazy. This man can be said to be the dream of everyone in the world. Men hate him, and women love him." Tan Tai Wu Yue said calmly.

After hearing this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but click her tongue.

"This is the first time I hear you evaluate someone like this." Situ Yaorao said.

"If I hadn't seen him, I would never have believed it. However, I once met Feng Ziqi at a banquet. He is truly a dragon among men. Although he looks too delicate and feminine, his eyes give people an unforgettable feeling. People dare not underestimate him. He is like a beautiful beast." Tan Tai Wu Yue continued.

"Okay, stop talking. If I didn't know, I would have thought you fell in love with him." Situ Yaorao joked.

Hearing this, Tantai Wuyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly do that? The person I like is a woman, and you are the only one."

"That's good. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest. After all, tomorrow is the day of the women's exam. I don't want to lose without a fight." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said softly.

Tan Tai Wu Yue nodded and said, "I know that no matter what I say, you will definitely give it your all, even if it means you do something stupid. But I hope you must remember that your life is the most important thing at all times. If you can't do that, I will never forgive you in this life."

"Dan Tai Wu Yue, I know my limits. Besides, I am more afraid of death than anyone else. How could I joke about my own life?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue nodded, then embraced her and flew away.

Tan Tai Wu Yue sent Situ Yaorao back to her yard, and then left quietly.

Unexpectedly, as he walked out of the Situ Mansion, he was met by a woman in purple. She was holding a lantern and looking at Tan Tai Wu Yue with a serious expression.

Seeing her appearance, Tantai Wuyue also frowned and said, "Madam Situ."

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years." Madam Situ looked at Tan Tai Wu Yue and knelt respectfully in front of the gate.

Seeing this, Tantai Wuyue hurriedly said, "Madam, please get up quickly. What are you doing?"

"I didn't know Your Highness was coming, and I failed to entertain you well. It's my fault." Madam Situ said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue hurriedly shook her head, "I'm sorry for coming here so abruptly today. Madam, you don't have to be so abrupt. Besides... if others knew that I was here, it would be bad."

"Your Highness, do you still know that this is not good?" Madam Situ suddenly changed her attitude and looked at Tan Tai Wu Yue and asked calmly. Tan Tai Wu Yue was stunned when she heard this, but then smiled: "If Madam knows, how could I not know?"

"Your Highness, I am just an ordinary woman. I don't understand the affairs of the court. But what I do understand is that I don't want my daughter to suffer. Your Highness, you are the crown prince, you can have any woman you want. Even if you want the most beautiful woman, it is not a difficult task. Please let my Yaorao go." Madam Situ looked at Tan Tai Wu Yue and pleaded.

Tantai Wuyue was somewhat bewildered by what she said. Looking at Madam Situ, he didn't know whether to get angry or compromise. Reason told him that he should compromise.

Because everything Madam Situ said was true. However, his selfish desires made it impossible for him to compromise. There were millions of women in the world, but he only wanted this one.

"Madam Situ, Yaorao is your daughter, so I respect you. I can consider anything you ask of me. But this is the only thing I cannot do."

"Your Highness, do you want to destroy Yaorao?" Mrs. Situ shouted.

"I love her so much that I can't wait to destroy her?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked in confusion.

"Your Highness's love has destroyed Yaorao. I will pretend that I didn't see what happened today. If Your Highness comes again and gets close to Yaorao again, I will take her to a place where Your Highness can't find her." After saying that, Madam Situ got up and returned to the house, closing the door.

Tan Tai Wu Yue stood blankly at the door of Situ Mansion. He never dreamed that Mrs. Situ would say such words to him in such a domineering manner.

"Even if the whole world is against it, I will not give up on you." Tan Tai Wu Yue's voice was very soft, and it was unclear whether he was speaking to himself, or to Situ Yaorao who had gone back to rest, or even to God.

Some things, whether you like it or not, will eventually come.

Situ Yaorao truly never thought of the day of the women's exam. But... as the sun rose, the day that would determine a woman's fate finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Situ Yaorao was awakened by Lian'er.

"Lian'er, go and help your young lady change into this dress. Also, here's the rouge and powder I personally selected. Oh, and for the hairpin, remember to give her the one her grandmother gave her two years ago. And, for breakfast, have her eat something light." Madam Situ stood in the room, repeatedly instructing Lian'er. Then she looked at Situ Yaorao, who was half-dead in bed, hugging the quilt and not wanting to get up, and said, "Yaorao, get up quickly. If you don't get up, I'll pour cold water on you."

"But... I'm really sleepy, Mom." Situ Yaorao said aggrievedly.

"You girl, today is the female exam, why don't you get up quickly? If Hong Lei and her daughter see you, they will probably laugh at you." Mrs. Situ said as she lifted Situ Yaorao's quilt.

Situ Yaorao was instantly awakened by the sudden cold air. Looking at Madam Situ, Situ Yaorao felt like crying but couldn't: "Mom, I'm still sleepy."

"When your daughter comes back from the exam, there will be plenty of time to sleep. Get up first, mother has specially prepared new clothes for you." After Mrs. Situ said this, she pulled Situ Yaorao and dragged her in front of Lian'er: "Lian'er, come and dress up your young lady. I'll go to the mansion first. Today is the day of the female exam, and the master attaches great importance to it. Yaorao needs to prepare, and Honglei also needs to prepare." After saying that, Mrs. Situ strode out of Situ Yaorao's house.

"Miss, I will help you change your clothes." Lian'er pulled Situ Yaorao and changed her into the red brocade dress that Madam Situ had prepared for her. The dress was embroidered with magnificent golden peonies. Although it was bright, it was not vulgar.

Situ Yaorao was naturally fair. This red dress made her look even whiter. Add to that her enchanting beauty, and she looked perfectly suited to this dress.
