She was abandoned in a heap of bones, yet became the dynasty’s gravedigger.
A Ruo, the discarded daughter of the Northern Qi imperial family, was seized at sixteen by her deranged cousin Gao Wei. From the imperial bed to a cage of beasts, she was passed between the tyrant and his treacherous ministers. She witnessed horrors such as “snatching babies to feed the dogs,” all the while secretly recording evidence of the entire imperial clan’s crimes.
Prince of Lanling was the light of her life, yet she watched with her own eyes as the hero was sentenced to death. After risking everything to save his orphaned child, she was betrayed and fell into the hands of her tormentors once more.
In the end, she returned to the filthy mound where she had first been abandoned. Using blood for ink, she wrote the ultimate judgment of this wicked dynasty on a wall of bones.
