Princess Chu Kaiyue of Nanyi was the only daughter of a foolish emperor and an enchantress. She was clever and perceptive, and as beautiful as a celestial being.
The first time she was married off, the royal family chose Xie Jianxing, the youngest son of a celebrated general, for her.
On their wedding night, the entire Xie family was massacred, and blood splashed across the blue-phoenix carriage scented with seven fragrances.
The second time she was married off, the royal family offered her to Murong Shen, the enemy general who had conquered the city. Once a palace maid in Ye, now a slave to the northern barbarians. Murong Shen was ambitious and ruthless. If she could tempt him into rebellion, perhaps she could profit from the chaos and restore the Chu clan to the imperial palace?
Murong Shen called her "A Heng." She knew it was the name of his wife, who had died young, but she still had to play along. No matter. One day, he would pay for all these humiliations. Yet, without realizing it, she had become mired in the swamp and could no longer escape.
"Have you ever seen Yuanjing? The world is vast. Let me take you to see the Central Continent. What do you say?"
For the first time, someone took her hand and led her to see the lands and skies stretching eighty thousand miles in every direction. It was only after meeting Murong Shen that she came to understand the world, from its farthest reaches to the beginning and end of time.
She told herself they had joined forces only for mutual benefit, a temporary alliance. Chu Kaiyue stood by him through life and death, watching Murong Shen raise his banners high, sweep across the world, and ascend to the pinnacle of power.
The bronze camels bore the sorrow of a lost capital; she clenched her teeth until her gums bled. With music and harmony between them, they had hoped for peace at last. It was time to seize the emperor's crown for the Chu clan and avenge her country's humiliation, but...
Looking south toward the tombs of Ye, she was overcome with sorrow. Unexpectedly, Murong Shen smiled as he drank the poisoned wine. "I wish to give the world to A Heng."
"My name is Chu Kaiyue."
"That's right. Like the rising sun, like the enduring moon. I called you A Heng because I hoped you would live for ten thousand years, like the moon."

Chapter 1: King Mu's cup comes from "Ten Continents": "When King Mu of Zhou Dynasty offered a jade cup from Xirong, it illuminated a room. Place the cup in the atrium, and tomorrow the cup will be full of water, fragrant and sweet. It is also a vessel for immortals." "Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing": The White Snake Sword: "The sword is decorated with seven pearls and nine-flower jade, and the five-color colored glaze is used as the sword box... When the box is opened and the sheath is pulled out, there is always a sense of style, and the light shines on people."
