This is based on the Korean story about the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd. Long ago the King of Heaven had a daughter, a beautiful and diligent weaver in Heaven. The Cowherd was a poor, young man, but the King of Heaven was impressed by his hard work and virtue... Poem in sijo form (type of Korean poem with syllable restrictions, sort of like a haiku). Something I wrote freshman year for the literary magazine and found on my computer today.

The Emperor of Wei is often described as a heavenly being, unable to make any fault. He was described to be a god from those celestial stories, and many speak of his birth many years ago. They say that the sun peeked from the snowing and heavy clouds to catch a glimpse of his face. They say birds sang and flowers bloomed despite being in the winter, and all the animals in the world bowed down as he took his first breath. He is known as the legendary emperor. The one who leads the kingdom through battles and conflicts, floods and droughts. The one who has kept his kingdom fed and happy despite a war waging outside their city walls. How he became suddenly so powerful remains a secret unknown to the world. How he became suddenly so powerful despite already ruling for ten years is a secret the world wants to know. The man is a mystery and his complex empire is a puzzle. . . Who am I? I am the third child of the closest advisor to the emperor. Though I may seem to be the Illegitimate daughter who was sent to the countryside as a child, I am my father's favorite. After all- I was the one who gave my father fame, and the emperor his wisdom and empire. . And I, have secrets of my own. *completed* *this story is my original work* *IS IN THE PROCESS OF EDITING-- THERE WILL BE INCONSISTENCIES* #1 in China on April 26 2019 #1 in Ancient on April 26 2019 #1 in strategy on July 13 2019 #1 in historical fiction on July 27 2020
