“Twin embers fall, the Fiery Star guards the Heart! She returns from hell to overthrow the imperial throne!” In the nineteenth year of Yongning, ominous signs appeared in the heavens: black frost formed on cranes, a red star collided with the sky, and a blood moon rose.
Twin daughters were born to the Shen family. The elder’s birthmark looked like burning maple leaves, fulfilling the apocalyptic prophecy of the Fiery Star guarding the Heart. Shen Zhun, Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, took up the Seven-Star Saber and coldly declared her fate: “Keep the elder. Kill the younger!”
That night, her birth mother hurriedly sent her into a lightless underground palace, where she became a secret the Shen family would never speak of.
Sixteen years of confinement, bone-deep cold, and no sunlight.
Shen Jinhan’s name had long since been erased, her heart reduced to ashes.
Until her beloved younger sister, cherished by everyone and betrothed to a prince, suddenly took her own life. For defying the imperial decree, the entire Shen family was to be executed.
The elegant woman in white knelt for three days, pleading through blood and tears: “Jin’er, save our family!”
She tapped the stone bed with her fingertips. The cinnabar mole at the corner of her eye was as red as blood, and her smile was as sharp as a blade.
“Shen Jinhan died sixteen years ago.”
“What does it matter to me if your whole family dies?”
A substitute bride? Deceiving the Emperor?
No!
She would reduce to ashes the family that had erased her, the imperial throne that treated twin daughters as ill omens, and the Heavenly Dao that toyed with fate.
All of it!
On the day twin embers set the heavens ablaze, the Fiery Star will light the way home.
Every step she takes upon her return will shatter this rotten world!
