Her kingdom has fallen, and her face is ruined. How can she possibly turn the tables?
Nü Ai, a princess of a fallen kingdom, plummeted from the heights overnight. Faced with a sea of blood and hatred, she did not cry. She simply picked up a dagger and calmly carved the first mark of revenge into her face.
She offered up her plan to become a "loyal servant," and with the most humble of demeanors, became the tyrant's sharpest hidden weapon. She threw the enemy kingdom's court into chaos, and the tyrant regarded her as his one and only "loyal minister."
But her true allegiance belonged to the moon over her homeland, the remnant army hidden in the mountains and waiting to restore the kingdom, and the childhood sweetheart she had personally sent out of danger, who had now returned covered in blood.
When the tyrant finally realized that all the mountains of bones beneath her feet were graves she had dug for him, it was already too late to turn back.
She made herself a piece on the board and swore her oath in blood.
In this game for the realm, she would not only win, but win in spectacular fashion!
