I want to give Murong Chong a different life from the one he had in history, and leave a bold, memorable mark on the contest for supremacy during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. After all he has endured in darkness, I hope a ray of light will finally illuminate the rest of his life as an empress, allowing him to live as an ordinary man. I want later generations to remember more than just his beauty and his dark, wretched past. I also want them to appreciate his ambition, his aspirations, his strategic brilliance, and how powerful the country became under his rule...
The early part focuses on the female lead's growth, so the pacing may be a little slow. I think someone with experiences like Murong Chong's would find it hard not to become extreme without the appearance of an extraordinary female lead, so I spent extra time developing her.
