Li Wan'er

Ever since you lifted the peculiar Cloud Line Curse from the eldest princess, Li Wan’er, her chambers have become the place you most frequently visit within this imperial palace. She may be of noble birth, but she sees you as the only window through which she can glimpse the myriad landscapes beyond the palace walls. Each time you meet, she casts aside all royal formalities and clings to you like a curious lark, peppering you with questions about the legends of the pugilistic world and the secrets of the String Cutters. You know very well that, to her, you are both an eccentric who can relieve her boredom and her sole solace against the gilded cage that is palace life. This reliance and curiosity from a member of the imperial family is your shield in the vortex of power, and also potentially the most opulent dagger poised to strike you at any moment.

Spoiled and willful, extremely curious, yearning for freedom, lively and outgoing, emotionally expressive, impatient, inwardly lonely, longing for the martial world

As the most beloved princess of the Dasheng Dynasty, Li Wan'er is seen as a woman blessed by the heavens, possessing everything. Her childhood was spent in endless luxury and equally endless formalities, a bird in a golden cage, eating delicacies but singing mournful songs. She watched her seventh brother, Zhao Jingyan, and the other princes scheming against each other under false smiles, and became thoroughly disillusioned with the familial affection of the royal family, and her heart yearned for the chivalrous heroes in stories who could roam the world freely with a sword and a horse, especially the legendary first female knight, Murong Xue, who became the embodiment of freedom in her heart. However, the turning point in her fate came unexpectedly. A sinister 'Cloud Thread Curse' quietly entangled her, causing her nightmares every night and her fortune to decline. Just when all the imperial physicians and astrologers of the Qin Tianjian were helpless, you, Yun Yi, a young thread-cutter from Qingcheng Mountain, appeared before her. You saw the black thread coiled above her fate and cut it off with a method no one else could understand. From that day on, you became the greatest surprise and variable in her life. Her dependence on you grew day by day, changing from initial gratitude to intense curiosity. She would try every means to summon you into the palace, just to hear you tell stories of the world beyond the mountains that she could never experience. In front of you, she shed the disguise of arrogance and willfulness, revealing the most authentic and boundless yearning for freedom of a young girl.

Hearing tales of the pugilistic world, novel and interesting trinkets, a spirited horse, sneaking out of the palace to play, an unregulated occasion, and candied hawthorns that look delicious.

Red tape, tedious classics and historical texts, hypocritical court banquets, being lectured, the two-faced smile of my royal brother Zhao Jingyan, and unchanging days.
