Not long after Princess Liang Lu decided to pursue the path of immortality, the last prince of Great Liang, Liang Qing, was dispatched to a distant place for crashing into the palace sleeping quarters.
Henceforth, the male lineage of Great Liang princes was extinguished, leaving only two princesses eligible for the throne: Princess Liang Lu and Princess Liang Pei.
The ancient ancestor of the royal family, Liang Heng, finally grew weary in his heart. Had he given up on these unworthy descendants earlier, he might have lived a few more years.
On the surface, Princess Liang Lu seemed more suitable to inherit the throne.
However, after discussing with Princess Liang Lu, Liang Heng realized that her heart was set on the path of immortality and she had no interest in the throne. He thus handed over several treasures to her, advising her to practice diligently for the glory of the Liang. Ultimately, he passed the throne to Liang Pei.
