A Pond Full of Spring

In the fourth year of Changping, the second year after Jiang Shiyin entered the palace in place of her twin sister, the emperor fell gravely ill and six princes rebelled.

The weakened emperor sent a letter asking his uncle, who guarded the borderlands, for help.

That same year, the iron cavalry of Mobei, led by the emperor's uncle Huan Yin, stormed through the palace gates.

That night, the imperial city descended into chaos, filled with wails and screams. Jiang Shiyin fled in panic, holding her young son.

The road ahead was slick with blood, and a steed whinnied.

Huan Yin, clad in armor, reined in his horse and slowly blocked her path with his elite cavalry.

Flames lit up the sky. The handsome, imposing imperial uncle looked down at her as she cradled the child, the former lover who had once cast him aside like worthless trash.

"Where are you running off to this time, Your Majesty?"
