On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily in Jinyang City. Snow flakes fell like torn edicts on the corner door of the abandoned Shangshu Mansion, and also fell on the thin shoulders of six-year-old Jiang Jinyao. On that day, she was expelled from the house as the "disaster star"; on that day, Shangguan Yuan, the eldest princess of the previous dynasty, rescued her outside the Jinghua Temple. Ten years later, on the same day, the snow still arrived as promised, and the person who returned was no longer the woman she was before, but a phoenix born from the fire.
