Sixteen years later, avenging Sang Zhi and Sang Yu became the reason Sang Yan lived. She changed her name, her gender, and her age. From that moment on, Sang Yan no longer existed. There was only Sang Zhiyu. She used the realm as a chessboard and herself as a piece. Though she seemed to be a pawn, she held the whole game in her hands and wielded power over all beneath heaven. With a folding fan in hand, dressed in deep purple robes and wearing a jade hairpin, she became the powerful minister who stirred up the capital. “My elder sister taught me poetry and books. For her, I will kill her sworn enemy.” “You be the great ruler who will be remembered for the ages. I'll be your most loyal minister.” Sang Yan spent her whole life for only two things: avenging her elder sister and helping Xiao Yu fulfill her dream. In the end, Sang Yan, now a powerful minister, was laid to rest beside her elder sister. To Shi Yan, Sang Zhiyu was a salvation in times of danger, a confidante who stood by her through hardship, a companion who crossed mountains of corpses and seas of blood with her and helped bring about a change of dynasties, and, more than anything, a beloved hidden in her heart, unknown to anyone.
