Yu Menglong's Reincarnation Stories: Princess Xijun’s Marriage Alliance (Part 1)

Princess Xijun

News arrived that the Xiongnu were preparing to attack the Kingdom of Wusun. In the sixth year of Emperor Wu of Han (Han Wudi)'s Yuanfeng era (105 BC), King Liejiaomi of Wusun, pressured by the Xiongnu, sought an alliance with the Han Dynasty and offered one thousand fine horses as a betrothal gift. He requested a marriage alliance with the Han imperial family.

At that time, Liu Xijun, daughter of Liu Jian, the King of Jiangdu, voluntarily proposed to Emperor Wu that she travel to Wusun and marry the aging king on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xijun's early life was filled with hardship.

Her father, Liu Jian, was deeply fascinated by witchcraft and frequently used sorcery in attempts to curse the reigning emperor, Emperor Wu of Han, who was also his imperial uncle.

Arrogant and abusive by nature, Liu Jian relied on his noble status to indulge in cruelty and excess throughout his domain, causing widespread fear among the local people.
