The Astray Person Under the Double-Headed Eagle

The long river of fate involved two stars from modern times into the last afterglow of the Byzantine Empire. Chen Moting, transformed into the prince Alexius II, wearing a heavy purple robe, stood on the edge of the collapse of the empire. In his eyes, he saw the turmoil at the intersection of the entire Eurasian continent, but he only had one obsession in his heart: to find his lost sister Yu Che. In the distant stone chamber of the monastery, the former Chen Yuche has become Irina Komneno, who bears the "original sin". Her lonely childhood was soaked in tears of penance and cold stone walls, but her brother's smile was the only light in her darkness. She is like a thorn growing tenaciously in the cracks of a stone, watching for the glimmer of reunion in the silence. On one side is the splendid but perilous palace, with the iron cavalry of the Normans, the scimitars of the Turks, and the spears of the Russians, and the endless intrigues; on the other side is the monastery where hymns are lingering but undercurrents are shackles of faith, the curse of life experience, silent resistance and tenacious watch. They use their modern souls to struggle on the ancient land. One is trying to turn the tide of the empire, and the other is just trying to escape the prison of fate. This is a poignant elegy dedicated to the Komnenos dynasty in history, and it is also an affectionate epic of brother and sister that travels through thousands of years of time and space. When the wheels of history roll over ruthlessly, can their bond be the last light to illuminate the night of destruction?
