After transmigrating from the modern world to Ruila, Kong Ying knows the entire plot of the show Star Academy.
She has seen with her own eyes the bond between the three sisters, a friendship that transcends life and death. But amid the treacherous currents of a world where profit comes first, it all seems like one enormous joke.
No one is free to choose. Everyone is forced into different factions just to survive. The crown prince is replaced, and the third-party powers must resort to any means necessary to cling to their precarious position and secure a chance to survive.
A fierce conflict also erupts between the Star Envoys of the Left, led by the rising bourgeoisie, and the Star Envoys of the Right, backed by the old feudal powers.
The border’s common folk go hungry while the nobles in the royal city revel in luxury. A surging undercurrent stirs beneath the surface, and at this moment, Ruila’s ruler awakens.
-
That year, suffering swept across all of Ruila.
Kong Ying looked upon the ruins of what had once been. The trappings of former prosperity had fallen away, revealing a rotten soul beneath.
-
“I will save everyone, no matter what.”
-
A deafening cry rang out in her mind.
She wiped the dust from Meixing’s cheek, helped the weakened Feiluo up from the prison floor, led Xiaoyue away from the wedding, caught Lili’s falling tears, and took Hongye’s hand as they flew toward the blue sky.
From then on, she wore a bird mask and smiled as she told everyone: May you cross mountains and rivers, reach fertile fields, and find spring in full bloom at the end of your journey.
-
Kong Ying came from the real world and did not belong in this animated world, yet she dared to try to kill the king, the class system, injustice, and every shackle holding people back.
Still, she pressed forward, step by step.
Step by step, she kindled hope.
And again and again, she faced death,
once more and once more,
to be reborn.
