She was the wife of the ruler of the Lu Kingdom in Jiangnan, born to an upstanding family, peerlessly beautiful, and of noble status.
A legendary figure in the rumors, she was the pampered little queen, raised in the depths of the palace. Her beauty was famed far and wide, and for a time she was named alongside Lady Feng Xian, the famed Peony Immortal of the Xia Kingdom.
In a single night, the Lu Kingdom fell. Her husband and uncle submitted a letter of surrender, and they were confined in the Xia Kingdom. How would she survive?
