Coming of the Phoenix

[Simple plot summary; blurb to come] "Laiyi": A phoenix comes forth. A phoenix flies in, beautiful and graceful, an auspicious omen. In an age of turmoil and war, the kingdoms wage battle against one another. The Jiang Kingdom was once a regional hegemon, but its foolish ruler led it to one defeat after another. In desperation, the King of Jiang ceded territory and sent his most beloved daughter to the victorious Chao Kingdom. Princess Ji Jiang was escorted north. Along the way, the caravan stopped at a post station. Rain and wind swept over the land, and the sky was dark and gloomy. A young man dressed in white, his bearing as fine as jade, slowly approached from the courtyard beneath an attendant's umbrella, noble and aloof. A guard said he was an envoy from the Chao Kingdom, sent to escort her to its capital. At the time, Ji Jiang did not know that the man before her was her elder brother, whom she had been separated from in childhood. He had been held hostage in another kingdom and had now vanished without a trace. One day, he would become the ruler of the realm. For now, he was merely a strategist serving the crown prince of the kingdom she was traveling to, concealing his identity under an assumed name. A long-awaited reunion between siblings would become the key to unifying the realm and ushering in a new dynasty. [A decisive yet smiling, foxy elder brother vs. a socially adept but fragile, disguise-loving younger sister] They are only siblings in name. This is on Jinjiang, so they are not blood-related. Blurb to come. Theme: A reunion between siblings sets the unification of the realm in motion
