From then on, the Wang sisters, Yu Shi and Yu Yan, began a childhood devoid of love. The two sisters rarely appeared outside the Wang residence, and when they did, they remained silent, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings. Meanwhile, after Princess Mou Nan married Wang Xuan Ye, she gave birth to three sons, and her status rose with them, gradually becoming arrogant.
Just when the two sisters were about to be forgotten, Princess Mounan obtained an imperial decree from the palace, instructing the emperor to adopt the elder sister as his goddaughter and marry her to the Yuezhi king in the Western Regions as his queen. That year, Wang Yushi was fourteen years old, while the Yuezhi king was already forty.
The two sisters stormed into the military camp of the Duke of Wuwei. In front of all the soldiers, the elder sister, Wang Yushi, loudly questioned her father: "Am I, the legitimate daughter of the Longxi Wang family, to be given away as wealth?"
Prince Xuan Ye of Wuwei was caught in a dilemma. He occupied a strategically important location in the Northwest, and the Silk Road stretched westward from Wuwei, generating enormous profits. Without the support of his family, he could not secure his position in this incredibly wealthy land. Meanwhile, Princess Mounan had given birth to three heirs, and now she wanted to use her eldest daughter for a political marriage, putting him in a difficult position as well.
Wang Yushi saw hesitation and helplessness in her father's eyes, but no affection. She cried out in the military camp, "I, a woman of the Wang family, swear I will never be a plaything of the barbarians!"
Princess Munan brought dozens of guards from the palace to place Wang Yushi under house arrest. Once the marriage procession arrived in Wuwei, she planned to send her to the Yuezhi. Under the greater national interest, how could a lonely and weak woman resist her fate?
But... at this moment, fourteen-year-old Qin Yushi suddenly became ferocious and killed more than twenty royal guards in full view of everyone, shocking all the soldiers present, and even more so Wang Xuan Ye.
At the insistence of the Lady of Munan County, Wang Xuan Ye did not teach the two sisters the Wang family's cultivation techniques. Wang Yu Shi, however, revealed a cultivation level that was already at the Profound Realm, and she was only fourteen years old. Wang Xuan Ye would never forget the look in his daughter's eyes—eyes as still as water, filled with no resentment, only an empty despair.
Wang Yushi was taken away by the royal family. Killing a royal guard and disobeying an imperial decree were both capital offenses. When she was escorted to the capital, only her younger sister Wang Yuyan and an old steward left behind by the Xu family accompanied her.
It was only then that Wang Xuanye realized that his daughter, Wang Yushi, was a prodigy in cultivation. She had sensed the vital energy of the forest and naturally comprehended the Dao by simply receiving instruction from her old steward, who was a veteran of the army. She had mastered the domineering and explosive "Breaking Technique" to its extreme.
With Wang Yushi's talent, the strength of the Wuwei Duke's lineage could have increased dramatically, but unfortunately, a foolish father sent him down a path of no return.
