Beauty Strategy Episode 1 Recap
> Beauty Strategy Recap
For a thousand years, the Xuan Kun Continent has been ruled by five clans: the Human Clan, the Phantom Clan, the Snow Clan, the Fire Clan, and the mysterious Spirit Clan. Six years ago, a great war broke out, and the Human Clan army nearly exterminated the other four clans, establishing their dominance. During the chaos of the war, Princess Shuo Ye of the Spirit Clan narrowly escaped and went missing.
In the Human Clan's palace, it was snowing heavily. A woman was enduring a brutal whipping in the snow. She was beaten to the ground, her face covered in scars, but her eyes remained sharp despite the pain. Lady An stood nearby, ruthlessly whipping her. The woman, pinned to the ground, could only beg for mercy.
At this moment, His Majesty's carriage arrived. In the deep palace, slaves were treated like ants. His Majesty's carriage stopped in front of the slave, and he remarked that there was no need for Lady An to dirty her hands with a lowly slave. After saying this, he left. Even ants like slaves will find a way to survive. This slave was actually Princess Shuo Ye of the Spirit Clan, but now she was known as Ling Zhi. Ling Zhi possessed a spell that allowed her to heal her injuries.
Ling Zhi had disguised herself as a slave to enter the Human Clan's palace in order to rescue her family. Late at night, a matron and some maidservants came to the servants' quarters to trouble Ling Zhi. Since Ling Zhi had offended Lady An, her life was bound to be difficult. Yet, Ling Zhi never gave up. The matron also warned her not to make any mistakes the next day, as Ling Zhi had to seize the opportunity at the consort selection event to gain His Majesty's favor.
The consort selection event began. Ling Zhi, as a maidservant, attended to the guests in the main hall. His Majesty Mu Xuanjue glanced at her. At this moment, the Grand Concubine arrived. She looked at the candidates and found none of them to her liking, thinking they were all unworthy. Knowing that the Grand Concubine liked flowers, Ling Zhi used her magic to bring flower petals from outside onto herself. Seeing the petals fall, the Grand Concubine was delighted and called Ling Zhi forward. She then decided to keep Ling Zhi for the consort selection, much to the astonishment of the candidates. The Grand Concubine, seeing that Mu Xuanjue had not objected, decided to have Ling Zhi serve in bed that night.
Everyone present was very surprised. Ling Zhi knew that getting close to His Majesty was one way to find her family's whereabouts. That night, after dressing up, Ling Zhi went to the bedchamber to prepare for the night, but upon seeing her, His Majesty immediately bestowed a white silk strip for her, leaving Ling Zhi very puzzled.
