Summary
In Yi Ti, the Mandate of Heaven is not a metaphor. It is Heaven’s sanction to rule — and history remembers what happens when that sanction rests on a woman’s head.
The last Empress, the Amethyst Empress, was legitimate, Heaven-favoured, and crowned — and still her brother rose against her. Her reign did not fail for lack of right, but because right has never been enough to still ambition.
Since then, every woman who stood too close to the throne has been measured against that bloodstained precedent.
So when Princess Ruyan is born marked — a spirit-walker of the imperial line — the court does not see a blessing.
It sees a repetition.
Even if she refused the crown, others would raise it for her. Even if she stood aside, men would marry her into claims and call it Heaven’s will.
The Emperor cannot crown her without inviting the same war that ended the Amethyst Empress. He cannot keep her close without letting history gather its knives again.
