Moonlight will bathe the land she protects, but the only moon is already in my arms.
Lu Yana is a rich, beautiful princess with a long life ahead of her. She had three older brothers, but they're all gone, and now she's the sole heir. What a dream start!
As Lu Yana grows up, though, she discovers all kinds of long-buried secrets. For instance, her people are on the brink of extinction, and someone could wipe them out with a single squeeze at any moment.
But something like that... Why didn't anyone tell the future queen?
She thought she'd be like her father, a ruler with nothing to do. In truth, the wheels of the world have already begun to turn, with turbulent currents stirring on every side. Now she can only fight her way through the rapids and whirlpools.
Misfortune comes one after another. After witnessing a friend's rigid corpse, the baffling disappearance of her people, mysterious ruins, and strange elves, Lu Yana resolutely steps out of her gilded cage to seek the truth.
Later, she encounters a silver anemone drifting downstream. The flower in the water has a delicate, fragile beauty, damp and glistening. Lu Yana can't bear to see him swept away by the current.
She carefully picks him up and gathers him in her arms.
The silver anemone has been gazing up at his moon for a long time, too. But he is rooted in mud and flesh and blood. How could he dare reach out to the moon?
Thankfully, the moonlight shines on him.
