The old heavens are dead; the Alliance shall rise.
In Galactic Year 1103, the decaying Empire teetered on the brink of collapse. Imperial general Alan Hartmann turned the tide and became the youngest marshal in the Empire's history.
During the grand promotion ceremony, a mysterious sky screen suddenly appeared above the imperial capital. A lively voice rang out: [Hello, viewers! I'm your favorite, Tangyuan. In the next few videos, I'll take you through the little-known history from the late Empire to the early Alliance!]
The capital's residents whispered among themselves: Well, would you look at that. The Empire is going to fall?
The Emperor, seated high on his throne, turned livid and ordered the whole city sealed off. As far as he was concerned, this was definitely another devious scheme by the rebels!
But the Imperial Guards searched the entire capital and found no trace of the rebels. In the days that followed, the "mischievous" sky screen would appear at random somewhere in the world every so often.
The Emperor flew into a rage and tried every possible method, but couldn't destroy it.
The people of the Alliance were delighted to laugh at the Empire's misfortune. They never expected the fire to spread to them as the sky screen's broadcast continued.
[According to unofficial histories, Alliance general Edmund is secretly a fan of BDSM and most enjoys being whipped.]
Edmund swore furiously: Damn it! This is slander! Let me find out who started this rumor!
[Some scholars speculate that the famous scientist Hua Pingyao is actually transgender. "She" wears a scarf all the time to hide her Adam's apple.]
Hua Pingyao, who had been enjoying the show, stopped smiling too. The murderous look in her eyes was impossible to hide.
[Teresa, inventor of the mental-power soothing method, remained unmarried for life after her unrequited love for Alliance founder Lin Qingyan.]
Teresa immediately dispelled the rumor: Don't make things up! The boss and I are clearly just pure and simple kindred spirits!
At first, everyone just watched for fun. But as many of the things the sky screen talked about came true in real life, their attitudes began to change.
And then the person on the sky screen dropped another bombshell:
[Imperial Marshal Hartmann had a secret crush on Alliance leader Lin Qingyan. In Galactic Year 1106, he wrote a love letter that he never sent in his entire life.]
Onlookers: Ooooh
Reader's Guide:
1. Lighthearted, with an ensemble cast. Main pairing: Alliance founder x Imperial Marshal.
2. Not hard sci-fi. The interstellar setting is simply a dramatic backdrop for the story.
3. There will probably be a substantial amount of war-related content.
