      What happened to the princesses was even worse. Most of them were forced to serve in the palace brothel where they were humiliated and sexually abused for years. Some were given over to sadistic Jin nobelmen who enjoyed torturing the princesses. There are reports of many princesses being tortured and raped to death.

    As a European with little knowledge of Asian history, it's always a pleasure to get a notification from your channel because I know that I'm going to discover historical figures that I didn't know existed and that will "force" me to read about new history topics (Song dynasty, etc.). 😃

    Humiliated yet praised for her resilience she's an embodiment of not only resilience and purity but women strength as well that a lot of women in our time threw away choosing stupidity and foolish pride that they strongly believe and other women should follow their example

      @@soumya5832 her reputation was already trampled. What she fought for that time is herself or what had remained of her dignity. She was stripped naked in front of people yet she refused to marry her enemy but to what I understood is she refused to sell herself which was already humiliated and it's even more humiliating if she went and married the bastard who humiliated and trampled her

    and then later when yuefei was close to defeating the jin army again, the stupid emperor once again listened to the corrupted officials and summoned him back before executing him and then suing for peace with the jin again lol.
