The Destiny of Love Zi Wei
Chapter 1
Chapter 1
A little girl ran here and there with an escort of two ladies behind her. The girl wearing the bluish-green little hanfu was in an erratic mood, as she had just been punished by her father. Frequently skipping lessons at Wei Palace made the girl named Zi Wei have to give up her wish to play with her pets.
Zi Wei was the daughter of the State Lord of Wei in the North. As the daughter of the Wei Dynasty King, Zi Wei's father was hopeful that the princess could bring peace to the North.The people of the North also lived prosperously under the leadership of Xuan Yui. Yui who is known to be fair and wise must think about the fate of her people. He did not want one of the policies made to harm the people of the North.
The State of Wei was an ancient Chinese state that existed during the Warring States Period. Its territory was flanked by the State of Qin and Qi. Originally the capital of the country was located in Anyi city, but later moved to Daliang (now known as Kaifeng) during the reign of King Hui of Wei to avoid threats from Qin. Since then, the State of Wei has also been known as Liang.
The Northern Dynasty began in 439 when Northern Wei conquered Northern Liang to unify northern China and ended in 589 when the Sui Dynasty defeated the Chen Dynasty. It can be divided into three time periods believed to be Northern Wei, Eastern Weis and Western Weis. Northern Qi and Northern Zhou . Northern, Eastern, and Western Wei along with Northern Zhou were founded by the Xianbei people while Northern Qi was established by the Han ethnicity.
Although the war was over. However, the King of Wei State must still be vigilant with the presence of vandals or traitors who might be able to coup him.
Therefore, Xuan Yui the father of Zi Wei wished to marry his first daughter to the first prince of the South. Prince Shen, who was ten years older than Zi Wei, was his father's future heir. In addition to wanting Zi Wei to become the empress of the Southern state, Xuan Yui also intended to stabilize the North and South conflicts that had occurred.
With this marriage plan, Yui hopes that this coalition marriage brings prosperity to all parties.
Gayung was welcomed, the South accepted Yui's proposal and agreed. Even the King had sent his gift of consent to the North.
"For me, the most important thing is that Zi Wei is happy" said the Empress. He hoped that his son would always be given affection wherever he was.
The queen knew exactly what her first child was like. Zi Wei had a heart as hard as steel. Even if he finds out later, "Perhaps, Wei er will refuse?" Zi Wei's father had a dilemma. However, his responsibilities as the leader of the country made the man have to bury deeply the distress of his heart.
As for Zi Wei herself, the girl was expected to be able to follow what her father's wisdom was like. And that was what made a young girl of Zi Wei's age feel pressured by the rules in the Palace. Not infrequently, Zi Wei's mischief made both of my parents have to furrow their eyebrows. Their beloved daughter made troublemakers many times and often sneaked outside the palace without the knowledge of the guards.
Therefore, Xuan Yui was determined to discipline the child by bringing many teachers to the Palace.
The Northern and Southern Dynasties lasted from 420 to 589, after the tumultuous era of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the states of Wu Hu. This period is sometimes considered the final part of a longer period called the Six Dynasties (220 to 589 years).[1] Despite civil wars and political turmoil, this period was a time of artistic and cultural flourishing.
Therefore, the king wanted Zi Wei to have an advantage in the field of art and culture. Xuan Yui paid expensive artists from various regions to teach the princess. No doubt, if Zi Wei easily accepted art lessons.
With that background, Zi Wei was interested in studying art, or related to art.

Fifteen years to come ...
"Hm ... Wei er, my son! what do you want for your upcoming birthday? You've reached seventeen." The king asked the princess' wishes on her birthday. He intends to present the most beautiful gift desired by his favorite daughter.
Zi Wei looked at both of her father's eyes as she clasped King Yui's two hands. "Wei wants her father and mother to allow Wei to wander, Wei wants to be a musical theater artist."
"No, Wei er .. Dad won't let you out of the Palace. Even if you're out of the palace, it must be because you're married."
Deg ... Zi Wei heart felt stopped beating. His chest was tight because he did not get the blessing to achieve his dreams. Moreover, the King also intended to match Zi Wei to the man of his choice.
"I'm not married yet, Dad. So don't force me!" Zi Wei refused her father's wish that she not be betrothed to the man her father chose.
The king had made up his mind and Zi Wei could no longer refuse him. Even the King's father said that in the near future, they will carry out the engagement procession.

Towards the day of growing old, Zi Wei continued to confine himself to activities. Unlike Zi Wei in general, now Zi Wei was no longer interested in doing all the things he often did.
Even Her Majesty's empress had trouble convincing Zi Wei to accept the match. "But, Mother Zi Wei was unwilling to live such a life."
The empress understood very well the situation of her beloved daughter, she understood very well the complaint of Zi Wei. However, the Empress also hoped that Zi Wei could grow up with so much sense of responsibility. The state of Wei had only one daughter and a crown prince who was under Zi Wei. This is one of the reasons the Empress had rejected the arranged plan.
"Your Majesty, is there no other way to reconcile the two sides than by marriage? Zi Wei is our only daughter, can't His Majesty find another way?" the Empress complained when along with King Yui the same age met her daughter Zi Wei.
"No, this is the only way for the two regions to come together. With the marriage relationship." His Majesty's determination has been unanimous, not even the Empress alone can thwart his wishes.

"Mom can't help me, and I'm getting more and more restrained. Then what should I do?" Zi Wei walked back and forth in her private room. The teenage girl thought of a way that the match would not take place.
In the silence of the night, Zi Wei continued to rack her brain. "Do I have to run away? What if I get caught again by the Palace's security forces?"
Zi Wei walked over with a scapegoat, her eyes closed. But consciousness is still going. He ignites various ways and risks that may occur. "I must get out of this palace, must!"
