The Phoenix's Grand Strategy

A cup reveals the secrets of the world; in crimson robes, she sweeps her sleeve and paints the realm.

A mere woman, yet she can sway the economic lifeline of an entire nation. At the Flying Star Gathering, she dances in crimson, plays a song on the long zither, and performs the Qinhuai Rhapsody. Then the Pavilion Master of the Xuan Yu Pavilion personally declares that whoever wins Tianfeng Xuanji will win the world. With those words, the Prince Hong faction begins trying to win her over, but she chooses a very different path.

Is this a challenge to imperial authority, or is there a hidden story within? Thirteen years of change take her from a lively, spirited princess to a master strategist and leader of an alliance. Ming Xi, Han Yun, Hua Jian Jiu: which one is her true self?

From north to south, the nation's economy flows into the capital. Scheming, hatred, country and family, kinship, love... As kindred hearts come to understand one another, the truth gradually unfolds.
