Wedge: In the distant Daqi era, there was once a popular legend about Maple Leaf Forest: According to legend, the seventh-generation monarch of Daqi, Xiandaozhang, was dull and extremely ugly. For this reason, his father, Emperor Wei, once wanted to depose him as the crown prince. But everything changed when he was 7 years old. When Sendō Akira was 7 years old, he followed his father, Emperor Wei, to Qingfeng Mountain for hunting. When passing by a maple forest, he was attracted by the red maple trees in the sky and entered it by mistake. After that, he mysteriously disappeared for a year. Within this year, Emperor Wei sent forty-two shadow guards to search, but found nothing. A year later, when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were persuading Emperor Wei to establish another heir apparent, Xiandaozhang suddenly appeared in front of the Xuanwu Gate of the imperial city. However, he was suffering from a serious illness and his life was hanging by a thread. Emperor Wei sent people to welcome him back to the East Palace immediately. After returning to the palace, Sendō Akira's skin was as hot as being burned by fire every day, and eventually it cracked and fell off inch by inch. Strangely enough, after the skin cracked, not only did his ill health disappear, but he also seemed to have been reborn, becoming more and more handsome and smarter. When Emperor Wei asked him what happened this year, he said he couldn't remember it at all. He just felt like it was a dream, but he didn't know that it was already one year in the world. Since then, rumors spread like wildfire that Prince Sendo Akira was haunted by monsters...
