Long Lian

Slight spoilers ahead (this page is currently kept up with the latest non-patreon chapters)! Some info on this page may be off and incomplete.

Long Lian is the Fifth child in her family, and is the only princess of Guilin.

Appearance
The princess, despite being only fifteen-years-old, is described to be 'an early bloomer,' making her appear taller and more mature-- much like a seventeen-year-old. According to Xiao Hua, she can be easily ranked as one of Guilin's top beauties with her looks and there was also a minor joke that Long Lian was pretty enough that if Xiao Hua stood too close, she may get distracted and 'become a pervert.'

Personality
In the original novel, she was said to be quite 'naive'--or at least before what had happened to her in Munzhu-- but now, although still 'naive' in a way, she is often portrayed as understanding, loyal, and isn't afraid to defy the mold set for her. To those she's loyal to, she much 'softer,' and her attitude varies from person to person-- for example, Long Shan and Xiao Hua. Setting aside all those 'admirable' qualities, she can be described as slightly 'optimistic' and 'happy-go-lucky.'

Background
As someone from a royal family, it is no surprise that Long Lian was schemed against-- even before being kidnapped, the princess was caught in a 'scandal' with a minister's son, ruining her reputation and like the 'same as always.' She then became another chess piece in other's eyes, and only a few had believed in her innocence-- due to that, the princess is a bit lonely. But despite that, the commoners and citizens of Guilin seem to love her for her cheerful personality.

There isn't much details on Long Lian's kidnapping, but later on, along with many others and with the help of her former inner maids, she was abducted from Guilin. Originally, it was hinted that she was raped by the Munzhu king, and due to the harsh times she had went through there, she was forced to 'grow up.' Luckily, that did not happen 'this time,' as her third brother had rescued her and Xiao Hua in time.
