On her wedding day, she is deposed and sent to the Cold Palace.
Everyone waits for her to wither away.
Six months later, the enemy nation's cavalry breaches the city.
The new, tyrannical emperor strides through the ruins and kneels before her.
“Teacher, your student has arrived too late.”
Only then does the emperor who once deposed her with his own hands realize:
She was never a caged bird. She was the sharpest sword of another nation.
For three years in the Cold Palace, she used blood for ink and had already written the opening chapter of his country's downfall.

“He thought he had broken a phoenix's wings, never realizing they were the beacon that would lead another nation's cavalry through the pass.”
