The palace selection ended within the morning.
A total of six Fine Ladies were left with their tokens.
Their backgrounds ranged from high to low, and their appearances varied greatly.
The only common ground could be summed up as: troublesome!
Some were ambitious, others overbearing, and some naturally bore a seductive charm.
In any case, none of them were straightforward.
These women were born into official families, well-versed in women's precepts, and their demeanor seemed graceful.
But they had witnessed the battles in the backyards since childhood.
Some families even taught their daughters from a young age.
A woman must have the means, must hold a man's heart firmly to establish herself in the backyard.
In short... their hearts were far from being as lovely as their appearances!
Come afternoon.
The unselected Fine Ladies were gradually arranged to leave the palace.
