Phoenix Dances in the Capital: Sword Song Across the Martial World is a historical fantasy epic about the growth of a dual-bodied heroine. It tells the story of Ling Qingyue, a modern arts troupe star who is born into the bodies of the prime minister’s twin daughters, controlling both the frail, talented eldest daughter, Ling Wanyin, and the bold, spirited second daughter, Ling Xuepo, with one soul.
In the capital, Ling Wanyin uses her mastery of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting to unravel mysteries and navigate political schemes, eventually becoming a prince’s study companion. In the martial world, Ling Xuepo relies on peerless martial arts to avenge wrongs, makes friends among the heroes, and earns fame throughout the jianghu. Working together, one in the open and the other in the shadows, they protect their homeland. They join forces with the unloved Seventh Prince to campaign on the frontiers, help a hostage prince from an enemy state ascend the throne, and ultimately pacify the land and bring peace between the two nations.
Two stars shine, twin lives bound as one. See how this drama queen heroine plays out the shifting tides of the capital and the heroic spirit of the martial world, writing a legend of growth, strategy, and love.
