Xiziqing

Crown Prince Yun Chi chose as his consort the youngest daughter of the Hua Family, Hua Yan, and the news shattered the hearts of countless ladies in the Capital City.
It was said: the Crown Prince could write poetry at three, compose essays at seven, debate with the greatest scholars at ten, shoot arrows with precision at twelve, oversee the examinations of all scholars at fifteen, and was regent by the time he was sixteen. He reached the pinnacle in letters, the extreme in martial arts, his looks were world-shaking, and his presence unrivaled.
Hua Yan felt as though a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky, landing squarely on her head.
From then on, was she to compete with the entire world for this man?
--------------------
Yun Chi: Standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Clouds, he learned the art of balance, practiced the strategies of an emperor, envisioned the land and skies in his heart. Within the nine-layered royal palace, he could turn his hands to clouds and his palms to rain, holding sway over the court and the nation, trimming himself into a figure free from desire and henceforth unyielding.
Hua Yan: She viewed herself as beneath the dust, with all her emotions and desires, disliking the Son of Heaven's court, preferring the ordinary alleys, treading on ten feet of soft red and experiencing all facets of life. She believed that nothing was better than green mountains and clear waters. "If you promise me a lifetime, I will accompany you for an eternity."

Schemes Of A Flower

Hua Yan could not think of others who were as renowned as Yun Chi, except for Lu Zhiling, Su Zizhan, and An Shuli, identified as the Four Great Young Masters, unparalleled in wisdom and strategy. They all possessed extraordinary intelligence and excelled both in literary and martial arts, with virtues and talents to match.


Their titles were, of course, resounding.


If one were to say they harbored ambitions of treachery, these three truly did not possess such intentions.


In the Southwest, Lu Zhiling and An Shuli had made significant contributions without which Yun Chi could not have so swiftly pacified the Southwest. In the Northern Region, Su Zizhan had made significant contributions, and without him, the Northern Region could not have been cleansed so swiftly, rooting out the trouble in one fell swoop.


Apart from them, there were no other titled individuals known to possess such unparalleled intelligence and wisdom.
