Features copper refining + yuri + danmei + undercover infiltration + revenge + a touch of ensemble cast + fictional setting + a touch of history
The protagonist is Murong Chong, one of the ten most handsome men in ancient China. Fu Jian forces Murong Chong and his sister to satisfy his lust, turning the phoenix and the phoenix maiden into toys for a tyrannical dragon to vent himself on in the Vermilion Bird Palace.
But one day, the phoenix will grow strong enough to slay the dragon! The phoenix maiden, too, will know desire. What never changes are the tears shed beneath the chaos of war.
(The author has added some original details, but the main plot is still inspired by history.)
The writing style is acceptable, and the content is about Murong Chong, one of the ten most beautiful men in ancient China. But I could see the shadow of Xiao Qin in Queen Mother Zuhun.
