The Dugu Clan

In the turbulent Northern Wei, Emperor Xiaowu, Yuan Xiu, was pursued by rebel forces and stood on the brink of death. The loyal and valiant general Dugu Ruyuan led troops to rescue him, was entrusted with command in his hour of need, and received the name “Xin.” A fortune-teller's prophecy, “The Dugu clan shall rule the realm,” foretold that his family would produce three empresses. From then on, the Dugu clan would shape the course of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, beginning a sweeping saga that would rewrite history.

Version Two

During a breakout at Mount Mang, Dugu Ruyuan rescued the stranded Emperor Yuan Xiu from certain death and was bestowed with the name “Xin.” The prophecy that “three empresses will come from this family” became the Dugu clan's destiny. Amid the flames of war in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Dugu Xin escorted his sovereign westward, as the prophecy of “Dugu rule” quietly heralded the start of a family legend.

Version Three

Amid the turmoil of the Northern Wei, rebel forces surrounded the capital, and Emperor Xiaowu fled in panic. The mighty general Dugu Ruyuan appeared like a godsend, fighting a bloody battle to save the emperor and earning the name “Xin.” Gazing at his aura by night, a fortune-teller exclaimed, “The Dugu clan shall rule the realm”: this family would produce three empresses. From then on, Dugu Xin set out with the prophecy, writing a tale of family glory and legend amid treacherous times.
