As Heavenly Princess Lanyin, the Celestial Emperor's own younger sister, my grand wedding was truly a momentous event across the Three Realms.
Preparations for the ceremony had begun in earnest the very moment the Celestial Emperor consented to the match. Throughout the Heavenly Palace, lanterns were hung and red silk banners fluttered in the wind. From the towering palace gates to the magnificent halls, countless radiant pearls and gemstones were meticulously arranged, casting a dreamlike glow. Immortal Maids bustled back and forth, holding armfuls of fresh, dewy blossoms that adorned the entire Heavenly Palace until it resembled a celestial garden.
My bridal gown had been crafted over the course of several months by the finest weavers in the Celestial Realm. It was an incomparably magnificent white dress, the hem embroidered with mystic runes and gorgeous flowers in golden thread, with every blossom seeming to whisper a romantic tale. The long train flowed like drifting clouds, shimmering with starlight beneath the sun. The phoenix crown, too, was exquisite beyond compare, inlaid with precious gems while a radiant pearl at its center emitted a soft luster that complemented my peerless beauty.
