Concubine Lusts for the City

She is a small architectural designer who inexplicably traveled to a war-torn alternate time and space. She thought she was the heroine, but in the end, she realized that she might just be cannon fodder. The war drums sounded, the beacon smoke rose, and thousands of horses roared together. Her lover among millions of withered bones climbed to the pinnacle of power. Little did she know that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind, and she and her lover eventually became stepping stones for others to conquer the world. The bloody wars in time and space left her confused. Was she traveling for a thousand years to save thousands of creatures in time and space, or was she trying to conquer cities and conquer the world, or was she traveling for a thousand years just for him?
