The world is divided into four countries.
Lingzhao lives in the east, the place where spring is born. Women are born with spiritual veins in their hands, and like grass and trees growing in spring, they naturally become useful. Men also have spiritual veins, each with its own strengths. Women rule outside and men rule inside. The royal family must have a female emperor.
Chongli is in the south, and the sun shines brightly in midsummer. Entering the Tao through poetry and prose, practicing as soon as you open a book, and breaking through the realm by debating scriptures. Both men and women can study and become officials, and the academy and the royal family jointly rule the world.
In the beginning, we were in the west, and the sky was filled with autumn colors. Entering the Tao with ease and ease, the Dharma comes from the heart, without asking for a deep explanation. The royal family is upright, the national policy is loose, and the people are unorganized, but they are the most comfortable group among the four countries.
The pure dust is in the north, and winter snow covers the fields. There are both men and women who enter the Tao through ascetic practices, accumulate virtue through practice, and lead practitioners. No temples are built, no pagodas are erected, the monastery is only at your feet.
The four kingdoms pass through the seasons, and each one follows its own path.
Feng Zhao is the princess of Ling Zhao.
She grew up in the palm of her parents' hands. She had a national master who had lived for a thousand years as her teacher, her childhood sweetheart, the Prime Minister, as her fiancé, and a pair of twin attendants who had been guarding her for eleven years.
She is never afraid of love, nor lacks it.
The coming-of-age ceremony at the age of eighteen is approaching, and envoys from the four countries come to Beijing.
Prince Chongli brought an ancient book that had been lost for hundreds of years, Prince Taichu had a startling glimpse under the locust tree, Prince Jingchen traveled thousands of miles just to see it, Prince Xilan pledged the entire country's military to make a desperate move, and the Gu master from Southern Xinjiang sent himself from three thousand miles away - just to repay her "tenfold."
The story begins here.
