The Crow’s Song

In the twelfth year of the Wu Qing era, the realm was battered and broken, and the court was rife with intrigue. It seemed an unseen hand was treating the world as a game of chess, bringing devastation with every move.

The Pei family’s daughter, You Qing, was drawn into the game against her will. Her family was destroyed, and to unravel the game, she would have to fight its mastermind to the death.

Qiu said to Lao Dan: “Crows hatch their young, fish breathe moisture into one another, and those with slender waists transform. Younger brothers have older brothers who weep for them. It has been a long time since I, Qiu, ceased to be transformed into a human. If I had not been transformed into a human, how could I transform others?”

Since we are human, why not fight?
