Above the Mountain Fields, Beneath the King's Banner

On the day of Awakening of Insects, Liu Ruo found a wounded soldier in a dilapidated house. She thought she had merely taken on another burden, unaware that this was the beginning of a change in the mountain village's fate. Barren fields needed reclaiming, local tyrants had to be resisted, and natural and man-made disasters had to be weathered. She used farming skills to help the village thrive, while he protected its people with his strength. From a small courtyard in Peach Blossom Village to the stormy game of power shaking the realm, they changed the course of the world together. When cooking smoke drifted over the hills and royal banners rose above the peaks, they finally understood: the most moving thing was not holding power over the court, but the stars in your eyes and the warmth of my hearth as we stood side by side.
