Vermilion Characters

On the mountainside, a woman in white held a game piece and murmured in a daze, “The vermilion piece…”

Xiao Wushi, the fifth prince of the Yuan Dynasty, caught up with her. “Xi Shun, calm down.”

With tears blurring her vision, she glanced at the distant figure. Her hatred ran fathomless, yet she chose to leap from the cliff.

Reborn by a twist of fate, she would repay every debt a hundredfold. “With the vermilion piece, I can see the endgame; only by controlling the tides of the realm can I claim the supreme throne!”

She would make those who had wronged her pay, and make the empire bear her surname, Liang.
