In this fantastical world, a thrilling story unfolded long ago. The young emperor Shen Yifeng was still full of youthful vigor when he and four like-minded friends joined forces in their youth, bringing the whole nation together to seal the demonic invasion. Afterward, the five went their separate ways, each settling at one of the seal's locations, founding their own kingdoms and continuing to guard them to this day.
However, all five kingdoms faced a grave problem: their rulers struggled to produce heirs, as if afflicted by a terrible curse. Though they had many consorts, none bore children for years. The court was deeply worried, and the people were unsettled, fearing their kingdoms' fortunes would decline.
Just then, a woman of the demon race descended into the world. She was graceful and possessed extraordinary gifts from birth. Her movements were mysterious, and she went straight into the lands of the five kingdoms, where people regarded her with either wariness or curiosity. Using her unique abilities, this demon woman sensed the calamities afflicting the kingdoms. Moved by compassion, she decided to help. She used profound magic to lift their karmic burdens and break the curse's hold. The royal bloodlines of the five kingdoms could now flourish, and joyful news gradually began to come from their palaces.
The story of Shen Yifeng and his empress, Lin Yuyi, the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen, was especially legendary. After several demon women came to their aid, the five kingdoms prospered and multiplied, their granaries filled and their people living in peace. She helped the rulers govern, their decrees were carried out smoothly, and harmony reigned throughout the lands. Together, they ushered in an age of prosperity, and their tale became renowned far and wide.
