As a child, she was the treasured jewel in the palm of the Emperor and Empress, the most honored and beloved princess of Great Zhou.
She left as a graceful young woman whose beauty was famed throughout Xidu. She returned, summoned in the empire's hour of peril, to command its armies and govern its lands, fulfill the late king's wishes, and uphold Great Zhou. She was now a regent princess, with power surpassing that of the young emperor.
As time passed, she looked down upon the lives and deaths of all, enjoyed every worldly honor, and spent half her life commanding the tides of power. At last, the princess withdrew from the palace and court, where intrigues swirled like treacherous waves, and waited in her mist-veiled palace for spring flowers, autumn moons, and a tranquil life to unfold.
