A Beauty Who Conquers the World in Chaotic Times

At their first meeting, he wore a plain robe, while she danced in a flowing gown. He watched her dance and captivate the whole city.

At their second meeting, he leaned against the pavilion, while she hid behind the phoenix-tail screen. She ruined his amorous plans.

At their third meeting, he wore dazzling red robes, and she was dressed in a phoenix crown and bridal robes. Hand in hand, they became a couple.

At their fourth meeting, he stood sorrowfully in the tower, while she lay in a pool of blood. They were separated at opposite ends of the world.

At their final meeting, he stood proudly atop the city gate, watching as enemy troops surrounded the city. Hidden below the gate, she watched her husband lose the empire.

Deep love cannot overcome ill-fated ties, and ill-fated ties cannot overcome destiny.
