The Moon Shines Bright, My Heart Is Heavy with Worry

Xi He, the Goddess of Time and Emperor Jun's second wife, had a dream in which she saw his future son shot dead by an arrow. To save her son's life, she demoted Yi Yi, the Red Feather God of War and the finest archer in the Ziwei Palace, to the mortal realm on a trumped-up charge. The High God Siming told Emperor Jun that in just a few days, a great calamity would sweep across Heaven and Earth. Unless it was stopped, all things might return to dust and the world be destroyed. Emperor Jun asked how they could avert the disaster. Siming replied that only the finest archer in Heaven and Earth could do it. Unfortunately, the Red Feather General had already descended to the mortal realm to undergo a trial, so Emperor Jun secretly bestowed the Xuanyuan Bow and Red Feather Arrows upon the mortal Yi Yi, hoping he would one day shoulder this responsibility and avert the calamity. Princess Heng'e, whose name was Xuanyue, courtesy name Shangyi, and nickname "Little Yue Jiu," had only mediocre aptitude for cultivating immortality. Ninth in the family, she was the most easily overlooked of the Twelve Moon Goddesses. Lively and restless by nature, with a rebellious streak, Heng'e liked to sneak into the alchemy room to study under Siming and delve into pharmacology. When she came of age, Emperor Jun arranged for her to marry Yan Long, the son of the Golden Crow Emperor. To escape the marriage, Heng'e concealed her whereabouts and secretly descended to the mortal realm.

One was a former Red Feather General unjustly demoted to the mortal world to undergo a trial; the other, a princess whose fate had been decided for her long ago. Can they join forces to prevent the great calamity from befalling Heaven and Earth? Can they rewrite their own destinies?
