[Honor of Kings setting + ensemble cast of heroes + multiple couples]
“Twin girls are cursed! Throw this abomination out. I don’t care whether she lives or dies!”
As a baby, Xiao Qiao was branded a bringer of calamity by her birth family and tossed aside like trash. But who could have guessed that this delicate flower, crushed into the dirt, would awaken the ancient magic of the wind at Jixia?
At fifteen, she was brought back to the Qiao family. Thinking she might finally find warmth and affection, she instead faced even crueler humiliation:
“An abandoned daughter thinks she deserves to bear the Qiao family bloodline?”
“No matter how powerful your magic is, you’re still a bringer of calamity. Go to the shore and wait to die!”
Her clan feared her talent and exiled her again, while even her own sister, Da Qiao, looked on coldly.
As Xiao Qiao waited to die in a small town, a plague broke out, leaving bodies strewn everywhere! Zhou Yu led an army to suppress the outbreak, and without bothering to learn the truth, had Xiao Qiao, who was casting spells to dispel the fog, thrown into prison. “Witch! This must be your doing!”
…
“Your sister killed our lord! The entire Qiao family are traitors!”
“Hand Xiao Qiao over to pay for it with her life!”
The roars of the Jiangdong soldiers, Zhou Yu’s bloodshot eyes, and her sister’s numb face drove Xiao Qiao to the brink.
She glared furiously as a wind dragon roared to life behind her! So what if she was abandoned? So what if they called her a bringer of calamity?
From an orphan cast aside at Jixia to a wind-wielding war god who made all three realms tremble, Xiao Qiao needed only one promise:
“Those who bully, humiliate, or harm me will pay back a hundredfold!”
As she stood high in the heavens, starlight swirled around her.
A spark of fire danced in Zhou Yu’s palm, and his eyes were filled with a love too deep to hide. “I decided I loved you from the very first time I saw you.”
Yes, it's actually King Xiao Qiao
