Within the palace, she moved carefully, uncovering the truth of why she had been abandoned in her previous life, but also drawing the attention of even deeper undercurrents.

The battlefield was like a dream, where every battle was a wager of life itself. She had stitched her wounds alone beneath the moon, and she had also faced life and death with a smile before thousands.
