The Phoenix's Bloody Tears

When chaos first opened, yin and yang were born. Yin and yang turned, dividing into sun and moon.

The world held nine kingdoms, each vying for supremacy.

The sun dwelt in the heavens, and Xuanyuan drew his bow.

The sky turned crimson, blood stained the setting sun, and the nine-tiered palace collapsed in an instant. The Moon Clan was destroyed.

Xue’er of the Cold Moon Shura Clan was a nine-year-old court lady chosen as a candidate to become the Moon Clan’s High Priestess. Amid a sea of flames and blood, she smeared her face with the blood of the palace maids’ corpses strewn across the ground, and so escaped the massacre.

To survive and find her only remaining family member, she endured humiliation, became a disciple of her enemy, and changed her name and surname. She spent ten years honing her blade, all to destroy the enemy kingdom and restore the Moon Clan.

But just as she gave up everything, even her chastity, deliberately using song and dance to seduce the king during the Spring God Festival and win the rank of imperial beauty, the harem consorts framed her, and she died beneath their lashes.

A noisy party, a dark ocean, and the giant ship Dolphin, known as the Angel’s Wings, racing across the Pacific.

Leng Xue’er was an orphan born in a poor Canadian town. At eight, she followed her stepfather into piracy, beginning a life of bloodshed. At seventeen, she drifted to mainland China and entered the nightclub world. At nineteen, she killed the crime boss who controlled both the underworld and the legitimate world of the nightclub, then went on the run again. At twenty-two, international police arrested her in San Francisco, and she was sent back to mainland China to await trial in custody.

She thought her life would end behind bars, but a secret government organization had its eye on her extraordinary abilities. They gave her a new lease on life, sending her on the deadly mission known as Top Secret Plan A.

To escape their control, she sneaked into the cargo hold to steal explosives. But while removing the special fingerprint and iris-recognition device belonging to her old friend Robert, she was ambushed and died in a black sea vortex.

Her soul transmigrated, and her two lives merged. But when she awoke in a humble palace, she found herself covered in blood, having just been flogged.

Hao Xuanyuan:

He is the Sun Clan’s king, a master strategist, cruel and violent, dark and inscrutable, able to turn the tides with a flick of his hand.

When they first met, she had carefully dressed herself up and danced before him, approaching him with ulterior motives. He saw through her scheme and deliberately let the wolf into his den. When his own consorts beat and tormented her, he turned a blind eye. But when they met again, her temperament had changed completely. She was a woman full of schemes, who captivated him yet remained impossible to control.

Mo Li:

He is the most renowned Vermilion Bird Divine Lord in Eight Directions City, gentle and refined, able to kill with a smile.

Ten years earlier, he had seen her, tiny as an ant yet unyielding in spirit. Moved by compassion, he saved her life and took her as his disciple, but always kept his guard up around her. Her dance before the palace during the Spring God Festival confirmed his long-held suspicions. So he did not stop the emperor’s hunt, casting her into the tiger’s den and wolf’s lair of the imperial harem without a thought for whether she lived or died.

When they met again, she was like a plum blossom in the darkness, its icy fragrance filling the air and locking around his heart. But the gentle, quiet girl of the past had become ruthless and cold. He could spend his whole life searching and still never find a way into her heart…

Shi Zhanmeng:

He is the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards in the Sun Clan’s palace, a mighty general, utterly loyal to his sovereign and cold-hearted. People call him the Iron-Faced Wooden Man.

The first time they met, she was a “thief” who had snuck into the Vault of Heaven to read its books. In a moon-white robe, she looked like an immortal, or a bewitching spirit. He tried to force her to surrender with his mighty strength, but she controlled him with her soul-stealing phoenix eyes.

From then on, she was etched in his heart, becoming a nightmare he could never escape…

Other supporting characters omitted…

A lonely soul from another world, a revenge plot designed to prolong her life, a proud, blood-tear-weeping blue phoenix turning into a demon, and a slaughter that commands divine beasts and stains the world with blood.

She is fierce and cold, wild and languid, vicious and merciless, looking down upon the world. She can be this way because she has the power to back it up.

As the years turn and the frost and wind bear down, after countless journeys, the blood stains Jiangdu.

Hand in hand, she and her beloved will stand above the world. Love and hate balance on a knife’s edge, and all splendor eventually fades.

This is a slaughter between the yin and yang clans, with no right or wrong. This is a contest between the Sun Clan and the Moon Clan, heedless of the people’s fate.

(The sun dwells in the heavens, and Xuanyuan draws his bow. The sun is above the heavens, forming the character “Hao.” Xuanyuan is an ancient divine weapon, the bow used by Houyi when he shot down the suns…
