In an ancient China fantasy world, some clans had magic powers. The Wangs controlled the light, the Baos manipulated the flow of time, the Bais used wind magic and the Xie delved into dark magic. Bai Tong Xin was a distant relative of the Bai clan leader but he could change the aim of his arrows. So, he was sent to the capital, Yuanhua, to trained at the Academy, with his maids, Nana and Susu. After an incident involving Bai Tong Xin and Susu, he ended up terrified and Susu severely punished. But her punishment awakened something hidden inside her. Something that would change her life and reveal dark secrets. ************** Author's note: The chapter titled "The corrupted lotus - a short story" is a dense version of chapter 1 to 9.
