Princess Brightblossom
Princess Brightblossom is one of Li Zihua’s children, a former imperial princess and a senior member of the Moonrite elder ensemble. After liberation, she turns the site of her imprisonment into the Northbright Palace, where she teaches what she knows.
Biography
Moonrite and the Red Moon
Brightblossom’s past is reconstructed through her siblings’ memories: their father favored her, her cultivation and campaign achievements placed her near Ninth Sib, and the human emperor granted her the title Princess Brightblossom. The same history makes her later sealing part of Moonrite’s larger tragedy, in which Li Zihua’s children are divided, weakened, and used under Crimson Mother’s order. (Chapters 571, 615–666)
After the Moonrite uprising succeeds, Brightblossom accepts a constructive responsibility instead of simply leaving. She travels north to the ice plains where she had been sealed and establishes Northbright Palace as a school. Her plan to teach the people everything she knows turns a place of confinement into an institution meant to outlast the immediate victory over the Red Moon. (Chapter 711)
Imperial Capital and the Firemoon Great Hunt
Later measurements place Brightblossom at the second stage of Smoldering God, carrying two major worlds and possessing exceptional battle prowess. Her power remains tied to the Moonrite coalition: when events elsewhere threaten Xu Qing and their interests, her aura erupts alongside those of the Heir Apparent and Ninth Sib, broadcasting the group’s anger across the region. (Chapters 732, 758)
Her lasting influence on Xu Qing is also intellectual. Xu Qing recalls Brightblossom and the Heir Apparent teaching that imagination, rather than a merely fixed recipe, limits advancement. That advice helps him question simplified accounts of immortal legacies and connects her role as a battlefield expert to the educational purpose she chose for Northbright Palace. (Chapter 809)
Appearance and personality
Brightblossom is remembered as extraordinarily beautiful and once described as elevated above the masses, yet the corpus gives greater weight to her martial reputation and later teaching. She is proud, forceful, and capable of intense familial loyalty, while her decision to found a school shows that she treats recovered knowledge as something to transmit rather than hoard. (Chapters 571, 711, 758)
Abilities and cultivation
Brightblossom is a second-stage Smoldering God who shoulders two major worlds. This grants power beyond the Heir Apparent’s one-world state and places her among Moonrite’s most dangerous defenders. She can project Smoldering God fluctuations over great distance, but the supplied chapters do not identify a complete list of named techniques. (Chapters 732, 758)
