[Ancient Setting] [Female-Led Revenge] [Fantasy Spirit-Beast Setting] Next novel coming soon
Nearly a thousand years ago, six extraordinary people awakened their "spirit beasts." After a war that shaped creation itself, the Fuzhou Continent was divided among six great lords.
The Baili clan's patriarch possessed the most powerful spirit beast, the Qilin Dragon, so the other five clans jointly honored him as the Emperor.
Eight hundred years later, the Qilin Dragon clan had dwindled in numbers. On his deathbed, the previous emperor made an unprecedented decision: he passed the throne to Princess Xihe, the only member of the next generation to awaken a spirit beast.
In the first year of Xihe's reign, with the throne on the verge of collapse, Her Majesty the Empress married the lord of Dingquan City, chief among the five subordinate cities. The following year, she gave birth to a son.
On the day the young prince was born, nine suns aligned, a golden dragon leaped from the sea, a blood moon hung in the sky, and countless stars rained down upon the world.
A prophecy declared that the child would accomplish great things, unite Fuzhou, and become the ruler of all under heaven.
In the tenth year of Xihe's reign, the day the rebels breached the city, Her Majesty the Empress died fighting atop the city wall. The prince consort was trampled to death by a horse in a hidden alley within the imperial city.
Everyone connected to the two great families was slaughtered. Only the young prince, not yet ten years old, vanished without a trace.
Since no one had ever seen the young prince's true face, the rebels killed every boy of the right age in the capital.
But they did not know that the ruler of all under heaven, the one prophesied to unite Fuzhou, was a girl.
