The throne of the Yun Kingdom stood vacant. The eldest prince had been exiled, the second prince was ineffectual, and the twin prodigies of the third prince’s line became the kingdom’s hope. As the Yun Kingdom’s most prominent heir, Mu Yunjing could cleave mountains and rivers with her sword, but couldn’t make sense of government affairs. When foreign forces invaded and she watched her sister, Mu Yunyao, turn the tide with her peerless talent, she felt both pride and the shameful relief of someone unburdened. The throne was my responsibility, but her destiny. In the end, I chose to step aside for love, yielding both the immense burden and supreme glory to my dearest sister, and freeing myself from the prison of duty. Ultimately, propelled by fate and her elder sister’s abdication, Mu Yunyao used her unrivaled strength and extraordinary achievements to break the traditional order of succession and ascend the throne as the Yun Kingdom’s new empress.
