Reader's Guide: 1. Set against the background of Creation of the Gods I, but with a historical focus.
2. Told from Yi Jiang's first-person perspective. First part: Ji Yi x Yi Jiang. Second part: Yi Jiang x Ji Fa.
Additional details: The first part is 2,500 words, the second 10,000. Think of the first part as a Boyi Kao fanfic based on the film and a prequel for the heroine; the second part is the story after the film.
Yi Jiang's faceclaim is Lu Yuan from The Past Lives. Yuding Zhenren is based on his appearance in Lotus Lantern: Prequel.
3. In the pre-Qin period, women were addressed by their surname and men by their clan name. For ease of reading, Boyi Kao is changed to Ji Yi, with Boyi as his courtesy name, and Ji Fa's courtesy name is Zhongfa. Courtesy names were generally used by family members; outsiders still used a person's full name.
4. Yi Jiang's surname is Jiang and her given name is Yi, by analogy with the claim that Daji was a woman of the Su clan, with the surname Ji and the given name Da. I speculated that Yi Jiang's name came from Ji Yi, but after looking into it extensively, I decided that was unlikely, so I only used the betrothal as a premise, with them sharing the same name.
Theme: The story of the founding emperor and empress of the Zhou dynasty
