Synopsis

On the day of the Xiang household’s full-month celebration, the master of the Jiuli Temple declared that the twin flowers were a calamity for the family. One of the two girls was destined to be an empress, destined to rule the realm as its mother; the other was born under an ill-starred fate and would bring disaster upon her family.

Qingli was born with the Heavenly Eye, allowing her to see all things in the world. For that reason, people believed she was ill-starred. When she was just a month old, her father threw her off a cliff. Luckily, Qingmian, master of the Qixuan Sect, rescued her and took her in as a personal disciple. He taught her cultivation and profound arts, passed on the sect to her, and protected her as she grew up. But she was fated to face a calamity, and could only overcome it with purple energy to shield her. To obtain that energy, she drugged Nangong Yan and spent a night with him, then ran off while pregnant.

Three years later, with her fated calamity behind her, she went to Nanyang City to find the sect’s lost treasure. There, she encountered Nangong Yan again, along with her twin sister, Su Qingyue, and learned the truth about her origins.

In her previous life, Su Qingyue married a member of the imperial clan. After the emperor died, her husband ascended the throne and she became empress, but she died after just three days. Reborn, Su Qingyue was determined neither to marry again nor to become empress, but her family refused to let her choose. It was only when Qingli appeared that she learned she had a younger sister who looked exactly like her.

Qingli’s arrival in Nanyang City stirred up a storm and disrupted many people’s plans.

Nangong Yan ascended the throne at fifteen. At eighteen, he lost the use of both legs in a war. At twenty-one, Qingli abducted him. His legs recovered, but he lost the ability to father children. The ministers were heartbroken. Their emperor was a diligent, caring ruler, a rare and worthy sovereign, yet he had suffered such a misfortune. They never expected that a few years later, a miniature version of the emperor would appear in Nanyang City. The ministers grinned from ear to ear, exclaiming that Heaven had finally shown mercy.
