The Phoenix Clan empress’s true form: named Cang Jinyao, she ruled the ancient Phoenix Clan for five hundred years. Decisive and proud, she commanded the art of fire and was accustomed to giving orders. She understood little of human relationships and did not believe in “equality,” trusting only strength and rank. Her lifelong obsession was protecting the Phoenix Clan’s spiritual leyline. Before she transmigrated, the clan was in the midst of an internal rebellion. Betrayed by a trusted aide, she offered her life-bound phoenix fire to seal away the traitors, but a spatial maelstrom swept her soul away. The “Phoenix Seal” was embedded in Su Qingyuan’s body as well. Lu Shiyan’s ancestors were descendants of the Dragon Clan, who protected the Phoenix Clan in ancient times. That is the fated bond behind his “love at first sight” for Su Qingyuan: dragons are instinctively driven to protect the Phoenix Empress.
Shen Zhiyu’s family once belonged to an affiliated clan that betrayed the Phoenix Clan. His ancestors were the “traitors’ descendants” of the Phoenix Empress. This is no coincidence, but fate crushing him into the ground.
