With the fall of Dongchen, all its territory fell to the Northern Yin. As winter approached, the emperor returned in triumph.
Upon hearing the news, the nations of the Yuande Continent were thrown into chaos and panic, each fearing that they would be the next to perish.
Over the next two years, many countries voluntarily submitted to Northern Yin, while others refused to yield.
They allied with neighboring countries and sent troops to declare war on the Northern Yin, but ultimately they were defeated. The Northern Yin cavalry trampled into their capital, and their territory fell into the hands of the Northern Yin.
In every battle to conquer these countries, there was always someone who offered advice and strategies, and that was Helian Ci, who was already 16 years old.
Only then did the nations realize that the Northern Yin Emperor's ambition was not limited to expanding the territory of the Northern Yin, but rather to unify the world!

In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed. It is early summer of the 185th year of the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Yongqing Palace.
"Sister Yue'er, hurry, hurry, help me find the hairpin that my second brother sent me from the frontier!"
The girl's voice was as clear and melodious as a babbling brook, and even though she was in a flurry of activity at the moment, it was still extremely pleasant to hear.
Today is the day my second brother returns to the capital from the frontier!
Seven years! Seven years! Her second brother, who lived by Daming Lake, is finally coming back!
It's all that jerk's fault! These past few years, no matter how much she pleaded, begged, or even shamelessly acted cute like she did when she was little, he's done it all.
Even Father Emperor disagreed with Second Brother's early return to the capital. Ha, the love between father and daughter is gone.
"Princess, the hairpin that His Highness the Second Prince sent is here."
From under the sandalwood box on the dressing table, Yue'er took out a gilded hairpin with intertwined sparrow branches, adorned with bright, delicate rubies that shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.
Helian Ci's eyes lit up. He stopped his haphazard rummaging and took the hairpin from Yue'er's hand. Her delicate oval face and beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.
"Hmm, this is it."
In seven years, that timid and crybaby Sisi has grown from a chubby baby into a graceful young woman.
She has a classic oval face, with bright and beautiful peach blossom eyes. Her long, curled eyelashes flutter slightly, effortlessly captivating the heart.
Her nose was pert and delicate, and her lips were like rose petals, so tender and luscious that one longed to kiss them.
With bright eyes and white teeth, skin as smooth as jade, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes, she may not be considered a beauty that could topple kingdoms, but she is certainly a lovely young lady.
"Princess, what hairstyle would you like to wear today?"
Helian Si sat on a pear wood chair in front of the dressing table, with Yue'er standing behind him, smiling gently as she asked...
This year, Yue'er is already a 22-year-old young woman. Compared to before, she has become a bit more composed and no longer has the timidity she once was.
"Anything is fine, as long as it looks nice."
Helian Si withdrew his gaze from the gilded hairpin in his hand and landed on the large bronze mirror in front of him. His beautiful and lively peach blossom eyes curved into a smile.
The little beauty in the bronze mirror smiled too, and Helian Si was overjoyed. "Tsk tsk tsk, look at this!"
Who is this stunningly beautiful woman reflected in the bronze mirror, a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in the world? Who is she!
It's her, Helian Si!
Oh my God, my damn beauty.
"The crimson embroidered gold-trimmed begonia dress that the princess is wearing was just a gift from the Emperor a few days ago," Yue'er asked with a smile.
"Hmm, I don't know what Father Emperor's quirks are, but he just likes to do it every season..."
"You gifted me a dress of this style; apart from the difference in fabric thickness, everything else is exactly the same, without the slightest variation."
