Whoever said that countless blinddates in life was a waste of breath should seriously chew every single letter and forcefully swallow those words back. Wei Xia Ri easily sorted through the list of men the best match-makers recommended by his majesty had brought over.
Among 34 profiles of eligible bachelors, Wei Xia RI removed everyone older than her by more than half a decade or more. She was down to 13 men.
Even the five match-makers gasped in surprise. All the men in their top five personal list of bachelors were out of the game!
Mei-Mei, an middle-aged woman in colorful pink robes, a big mole underneath her eye and a well ornamented hair crossed her arms in disagreement. The young lady was too much, why is she so proud of being single!
Two of the other matchmakers initially felt aggravated then annoyed the more she pushed the profiles away then felt speechless. Both face-palmed from Wei Xia Ri's bold way of elimination as if the emperor had casually asked her instead of ordered her to upon the use of an edict.
Lastly, a pair twin sisters screeched at every profile pushed back. Their faces glowed in amusement but frowned with impatience. Nevertheless, this arrogant and impudent tyrant still was a girl in heart judging by her standards of choosing.
Because Wei Xua Ri was an infamous tyrant, the matchmakers did not dare object anyways.
The royal princess slouched on her back and sighed. "I don't want men who already has consorts or concubines or bed maids or outside female lovers or anyone who has intimate relationship with any other woman."
Meimei and the twin sisters nodded in understanding then removed all remaining thirteen profiles.
" Then no more!"
Suppose it was a sad news but Wei Xia Ri's smile beamed with hope and happiness. It was so dazzling, many of the matchmakers felt so blinded by her delusion.
Just like how many prospective marriage candidates were leaving the table, so were the
matchmakers and their hopes. The tyrant behaved wilfully and rejected everyone. His majesty should hear the report and declare their lives will cease that very moment and then when he asks how they could not deter her unreasonable behavior, they will say that the tyrant has been learned of the ways of not just the battlefield but also of social understanding and the affairs between men and women!
They wanted to cough blood because the choosy tyrant did not cooperate.
Meimei sighed. "Royal Princess Ruge, then please agree to a small request of mine!"
Wei Xia Ri who read so many novels of more than a thousand chapters each about schemes, drama, grudges and revenge raised a brow and pretended to think for a second before nodding. "It will depend on what Meimei-jiejie has to say."
"I run a shop related to match-making, do you mind attending it tomorrow?"
A shop for blind dates? Wei Xia Ri smiled. "How about we become business partners?"
...
"I said I am backing out, this royal princess is too unexperienced!" Wei Xia Ri stated, sounding aggrieved towards a haughty looking Meimei and a pair of giggling twins.
Upon entry into the said shop, people filled the tables. There were so many of them men looking for women and vice versa. But Wei Xia Ri's gaze gets drawn to the ceiling, unwilling to sit with at least one man. After all the dates she went to in the past, extending the undefeatable track record of her failed dates was too much!
Thankfully, everyone was required to wear masks and talk before each other while a hazy curtain is in between them. Because of the gender teachings, a policy like this in the store was fitting.

Nevertheless, the proud tyrant retraced her steps back to meimei's delivery service business upstairs. The matchmakers follow her with sunken shoulders. The priority was for the tyrant to be married off and lessen her influence through the man she marries. If possible, a powerless noble was the best pick.
Initially, Wei Xia RI was oblivious to the king's intention but after a good analysis after some notions with both the royal couple's actions and the matchmakers' choices of grooms; figuring out such little scheme was too much. Wei Xia Ri appreciated the given authority, wealth and influence she received upon coming here. No way is she willing to let these go in exchange for a silly title!
"This is enough, I cannot tolerate this any longer. I am not marrying such foolish men!"
"But your highness, the word of the emperor is absolute."
'So long as his backing supports him! That is me you wretches!' she wanted to answer. The tyrant in her rampaged and roared in her mind, it has already been going on for a long while now.
The royal princess lifts her nose to the air and gave her companions a superior glance. Intentionally or not, the tyrant with such a scary face made goosebumps running down their arms.
"Let's go. I have one more day left, too many hours left."
"Royal princess, how about we talk this over dinner?" pleaded one of the twins. Her voice was hesitant but such valiance made the transmigrator feel impressed. Though knowing the original's sinful reputation, the woman really cared more for her life than a life worse than death. Wei Xia RI did not know if the twin was smart or foolish.
"You... Want to dine with this general?" she tested.
Meimei came next about protecting her neck. She drops to the ground and kowtows. "This servant does not dare. It is only out of pure concern with your highness' happiness!"
But Wei Xia Ri was not the tyrant. She immediately felt uncomfortable with the matchmakers' concerning fears. "I was only asking if you wanted to dine so that I can inform my cooks to make more. This general is tired."
Without looking back, the woman of interest turned on her heels and headed towards the Wei Mansion.
Unknown to her, a hooded figure has been stalking her since she left the shop. Even the imperial guards did not notice the man but even if they did, they would probably pay no heed to such man.
The tyrant was a trained martial artist with kin senses, so sooner or later, Wei Xia Ri felt such weak presence. Yet she shrugged and continued.
