The Xin Empire stands at the height of its golden age, protected by a legendary shield that has safeguarded its lands for nearly a century. But as whispers of an ancient prophecy resurface, a chilling truth emerges-the shield is set to vanish in just two years, leaving the empire vulnerable to forces lurking in the shadows. Lan Lian has never fit the mold of a noble daughter. She prefers blades to ballads, silence to small talk, and has no interest in the tangled games of the royal court. But when strange dreams begin to bleed into reality and whispers of an ancient prophecy resurface, she is pulled into a world of secrets far beyond anything she imagined. Spirits stir, demons awaken, and shadows stretch long over the empire. As Lian unravels the truth behind her visions, she finds herself at the center of something vast and unseen-caught between two realms, two paths, and a destiny that refuses to stay buried. Some stories are written in stars. Others are etched in blood. With danger closing in and secrets unraveling, fates intertwine in an epic tale of adventure, betrayal, and forbidden truths. As war looms and unseen forces awaken, will she uncover the truth before it's too late?

He wasn't used to distractions. Emotions were a weakness he couldn't afford. He ruled with an iron will, his control absolute. People like her didn't belong in his world.

In a world where power is everything and love is a liability, their connection could be their greatest strength... or the reason they fall. The real question is: Will they survive the fire, or will they burn in it?
