My name is Li Luoyao, but many people call me Qingyuan. As time went by, I came to be known as Qingyuan, and my real name was all but forgotten.
It was said that in the year I was born, a giant blue kite bird flew over the capital and vanished into the far reaches of the world. They called me a goddess. Even the renowned fortune-teller Xu Ji Zhenren once came to the palace in person to read my fortune.
The reading was said to be auspicious: Princess Li Luoyao, they said, was a goddess sent down from heaven, and whoever won her would win the realm.
My father was overjoyed and treated me like a treasure. On my fifth birthday, he personally bestowed upon me the title of Princess Qingyuan.
That day, the emperor granted a general amnesty, and the whole nation celebrated. The people were delighted, for they all believed that the princess born under the sign of the kite bird was an auspicious omen for the Tang Kingdom, foretelling peace and prosperity for generations to come.
But I alone knew that the reading Xu Ji Zhenren had given was not like that.
I saw the old man quietly studying me, his bewildered young visitor, with eyes that seemed to see through a thousand years.
As the whole realm celebrated, he whispered in my ear:
Qingyuan, Qingyuan, you will fly alone, a solitary shadow, all your life. The stars have destined you for calamity.
Born to be betrayed and abandoned,
you will grow old alone.
Princess Qingyuan of Tang, Li Luoyao.
So pretty!!!
I don't understand why the heroine can still be with the enemy who destroyed the country
Too wild. Speechless
