Star of the Phoenix

When the Third Princess was born, a hundred birds paid homage to the phoenix, and colorful clouds filled the sky.

The Imperial Preceptor foretold her fate: “A phoenix star has descended, bringing blessings in its wake.”

From then on, the Third Princess became the apple of the emperor's eye.

No one knew that on that very same day,

my mother gave birth to me in the Imperial Medical Office, forgotten by the emperor before he had even granted her a title.
