(A novice work; major revisions later)
Autumn, Year 30 of De Zhao. The emperor, who had always been in good health, died of illness that night.
Everyone expected the Grand Princess to ascend the throne, but the outcome was beyond their expectations.
Regicide. Patricide.
They cut off every path to her survival.
She would rely on neither Heaven nor Earth, only herself.
She swore she would fight her way back to the capital
and reclaim her power.
Reader's guide: 1. Set in an imaginary dynasty, with no specific historical model. 2. Ensemble cast. 3. Slow burn.
4. The male lead has a minor role.
Note: 1. No real-world allegory; written in a dramatic style.
Theme: Fate is woven like a web, but I am an unyielding rock.
