The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

(For those who wish to remain single and not marry)

The Great Yu Dynasty, Qingzhou City.

The inner courtyard of the Li residence, the Ziyun Pavilion.

Li Yunqing, dressed in a light purple dress, reclines on a soft couch.

With her left hand supporting her chin on a soft pillow, her right fingertips lightly twirled the pages of a book, her clear eyes filled with concentration.

The afterglow of the setting sun, like golden threads, streamed through the windows and covered the attic, bathing the colorful flowers in golden light, filling the entire attic with fragrance.

The evening breeze gently caressed her, playing with the strands of hair on her forehead, which danced before her eyes, only to be caught by her slender, jade-like fingers, brushed across her forehead, and tucked behind her ear.

"Experience in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting +1."

The constantly jumping characters gathered and dispersed before her eyes, then gathered again.

a long time.

"Perfect in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, with exceptional talent as a result."

In that instant, she felt as if her spirit had been cleansed by a clear spring, becoming vibrant and lively. Her eyes shone even brighter, as if stars had fallen into them, twinkling with starlight.

"It's finally complete!"

Li Yunqing murmured softly, put down her book, and stretched her body. Her clothes instantly tightened, revealing her delicate curves.

Her delicate features and fair, jade-like skin shimmered softly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"When one of the arts—music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—is perfected, it will inevitably give rise to a unique characteristic."

"If you're lucky, there's a chance that the three stages of minor success, mastery, and mastery can also be derived."

Her clear eyes flickered slightly as the panel in front of her appeared.

Name: Li Yunqing.

Lifespan: 15/∞

Skills: Music, chess, calligraphy and painting (perfect) Characteristics: Single-minded, photographic memory, energetic, gifted and talented, fluent in music, exceptionally intelligent.

"Not bad, you already have six special abilities."

Looking at the panel, a hint of sorrow suddenly appeared in her eyes, which were full of joy: "Longevity plus experience points, the future is limitless, but it's a pity I'm a girl!"

"In a world ravaged by demons, what should a woman do if she cannot protect herself?"

Thinking of her past life, she looked melancholy, her heart filled with entanglement and contradiction, always feeling that the Meng Po soup was diluted.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have awakened his past life memories in just fifteen years.

The memories of her two lifetimes were intertwined and inseparable, so she accepted the fact that she was a woman.

But some things are simply unacceptable.

"Miss, the master wants you to go to the front hall!"

A soft, clear sound rang out from the pavilion door.

Li Yunqing collected her thoughts and looked at the person who had come: "Xiao Lan, what can Father say?"

Xiao Lan quickly ran to Li Yunqing's side and whispered in her ear, "The head of the Jiang family visited at noon, probably to propose marriage."

"Miss, Young Master Jiang is a man of exceptional talent and martial arts skills. He is the kind of man that countless young ladies would like to marry."

"With your looks, Miss, you're absolutely a perfect match!"

Hearing Xiaolan's whisper in her ear, Li Yunqing's heart skipped a beat, and her two small hands clenched tightly.

If she hasn't awakened her innate wisdom, then so be it; she can marry whomever she wants, it's none of her business.

But with memories of her past life, how could she possibly get married?

The thought of being pinned down by a man gave her goosebumps and filled her with intense resistance.

"No! I absolutely cannot get married!"

She composed herself, quickly got up, and walked towards the front hall, completely unaware of Xiao Lan behind her, who looked on with longing.

The Jiang family is a prominent clan in Qingzhou, with a lineage that has endured for hundreds of years. Each generation has produced men of exceptional talent and learning to uphold the family's honor.

In particular, Jiang Yu of this generation is a martial arts prodigy. At only eighteen years old, he already possesses the strength of the upper-level initial stage.

The head of the Jiang family often said: "My son Jiang Yu has the potential to become a supreme grandmaster."

Such a man is indeed the perfect match and dream lover in the hearts of countless young women.

Front hall of the Li residence.

As soon as Li Yunqing stepped inside, she saw her father, Li Yansong, smiling broadly as he sipped his tea.

Despite being in her forties, she looked several years younger, radiant and full of energy.

"Yunqing is here!"

Upon seeing Li Yunqing arrive, Li Yansong's smile deepened.

His daughter had been immersed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood, and her temperament and appearance were among the best in the entire Qingzhou.

If it weren't for her quiet nature and reluctance to go out, her reputation would certainly be no less than that of the young masters and ladies of the other families.

Fortunately, the Jiang family recognized her talent and came to her door to ask for her hand in marriage.

Once a marriage alliance is formed with the Jiang family, the largest family in Qingzhou, the Jiang family will provide assistance, along with his own support and that of his talented eldest son.

A family like the Li family could definitely rise to the next level in Qingzhou.

In the future, they may even be able to join the ranks of the prominent families of Qingzhou.

Such an opportunity is truly rare and hard to come by.

"Father, I don't want to get married!"

Upon hearing this voice, Li Yansong's smiling face suddenly froze: "Nonsense!"

"A marriage is arranged by parents and a matchmaker; how can you say you won't get married?"

Seeing Li Yansong's anger and hearing his words, Li Yunqing felt helpless, but still insisted, "Father, I really don't want to get married!"

Li Yansong frowned and stared straight at Li Yunqing.

His daughter had been extremely well-behaved and obedient since she was a child, never talking back to him. She was gentle, quiet, and intelligent.

The Jiang family is a prominent family in Qingzhou. Jiang Yu is exceptionally talented in both academics and martial arts, and has an excellent reputation. He is destined to become the next head of the Jiang family.

Such a person is definitely a good match.

He simply couldn't understand why his daughter didn't want to get married.

But this matter is not open to discussion. If they refuse such a powerful family, the Li family will likely lose its foothold in Qingzhou.

"Yunqing, your marriage to Jiang Yu is not just a matter between the two of you, but also a major event for the Jiang and Li families."

"It concerns the future of the entire Li family!"

At this point, Li Yansong's expression became even more serious: "When you go out, you will be accompanied by a full entourage of carriages and horses, and a large number of guards and servants to protect your safety."

"If you want to eat all kinds of delicious food, someone will find it for you."

"If you want to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, I'll spend a lot of money to hire famous masters to come to your home and teach you."

"Everything you eat, wear, and use is the best in Qingzhou. You've enjoyed all the benefits the family has given you, so you should now bear the responsibilities that come with it!"

"This is an arranged marriage; no matter how ugly or incompetent he is, you have to marry him!"

Li Yansong's tone softened: "Jiang Yuzhi is a man of exceptional character and talent; she is definitely a good match for you."

"You should be grateful, not resisting!"

Hearing her father's words, Li Yunqing fell silent for a moment.

She understood what her father meant.

In a chaotic world where martial arts are rampant and demons abound, having a family to rely on is something that is rare and hard to come by for anyone.

If she were an ordinary person, she could never have lived such a carefree life, with no worries about food or drink.

But she couldn't bring herself to get married.

This is not just about the repulsion between people of the same sex in the previous life, but also something that one no longer wants to consider after gaining the cheat codes of immortality and liver experience.

Give her enough time to grow, and she can protect the family for generations to come.

There is absolutely no need for a marriage alliance.

Unfortunately, some things cannot be said or explained.

Her father wanted to curry favor with the Jiang family and make the family more prosperous. She agreed with and understood this, but she couldn't do it.

In the ten days since her memories were awakened, she has not dared to reveal the slightest bit of her idea of ​​not getting married.

Moreover, in a world rife with martial arts and demons, with her stature, without the protection of a family, she might not even have the chance to grow.

Without the force to protect herself and without sufficient strength, she was destined to face this fate.

Thinking this through, Li Yunqing stopped arguing and said, "Father, I want to learn martial arts!"

With the qualities of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, if one could learn martial arts, one would definitely soar to great heights.

With the Longevity Panel, as long as she comes into contact with martial arts, she will surely be able to control her own destiny.

If she is powerful enough, who can or dares to force her to marry?

"Practicing martial arts?"

Li Yansong was slightly taken aback. He looked at his daughter's frail figure and couldn't help but laugh.

"Yunqing, stop fooling around!"

"Practicing martial arts is very tough and tiring; you absolutely cannot endure it."

In martial arts cultivation, the initial stage involves building a strong body and blood, generating internal strength, and tempering the physique and internal organs. Every step is extremely difficult.

Those powerful martial arts techniques alone were beyond what his daughter's frail body could withstand.

Not to mention that the subsequent Qi realm requires sufficient comprehension, internal cultivation to open the meridians, and the ability to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to circulate throughout the body and generate true Qi.

But seeing his daughter's stubborn little face, and remembering his scolding and rejection just now, he felt a little reluctant.

She was well-behaved and obedient from a young age, never causing him much worry. She had a gentle nature, and everyone in the family liked her.

Even he loved her dearly, even more than he cared for his eldest son.

But women always have to marry and have children.

As if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said in a gentle tone, "How about this, I'll send you to the martial arts school to give it a try tomorrow!"

"Be sure to act within your capabilities!"

Hearing her father's words, Li Yunqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Taking this step opened up endless possibilities.

The process of discussing marriage now, followed by betrothal, asking for names, setting the wedding date, exchanging betrothal gifts, and welcoming the bride, will take at least one or two years.

Especially in large families, rules are even more important. She is only fifteen, just turned fifteen, and has at least another year to live.

"Thank you, Father!"
