The Chu Palace: The Story of Meng Ying

A conspiracy to swap the phoenix and the sparrow sent the dignified princess of Qin to marry Prince Jian of Chu. Instead, she was delivered into the hands of the King of Chu, and she wanted nothing more than to die.

If they hadn't once met on a moonlit night, each playing a melody on the qin and xiao from afar, she might have perished in the Chu palace. They would never have met on that night when flowers fell like rain, when he told her, “Live.”

When the city fell, all she could say was, “I never imagined that one day you would become my enemy because of me, your hair turning white overnight.”

In the vast palace of Chu, she made the immortal legend of Wu Zixu and also forged a life of tangled sins, becoming a peerless presence within the palace.
