Shangguan Linlang was only sixteen when she married Han Ziye, and although she had slept in the Living Tomb for a thousand years, as a little girl, she still loved being praised for her various beauties. Vanity is a woman's nature, the more they are praised, the more it proves their competitive edge in attracting the opposite sex is strong. But, alas, women also have an innate instinct, and that is jealousy.
Initially, the Empress felt as sweet as honey when all the men present worshipped her stunning beauty. Little did she know that her setback was right on its heels. Because of Nalan Fusui's question, "I presume you are one of the top beauties on the Zique Continent, right?" — the Empress instantly wished she could slap him (parentheses mean a slap, since I'm from Changde—people from Changde, you know).
