The heroine, Xiyu, was the little princess of Great Ling. Strange signs appeared in the heavens when she was born, and everyone called her the “Daughter of Destiny.” She was adored by all, but one careless thing she said as a child led her brother to kill their father and seize the throne, plunging the realm into chaos. Her mother had no choice but to flee with her two daughters, living under assumed names to escape the ravages of war. Years later, Xiyu had grown into a graceful young woman. She met Li Chongyu, who was fighting across the war-torn realm, and the two gradually fell in love, beginning a tale of love filled with joy and sorrow, partings and reunions.
