She was born to be an empress. Beauty like immortal, talented in many aspects and a great politician. She married to the crown prince at the age of 11. Engendered two heirs for the kingdom. She really lives a perfect life. Shining crown and beautifully embroidered gown. Tingling hairpins on her head doesn't make her happy. Is it too greedy to ask for more? Is it insolent to say that she's unpleased with her life? Because the emperor never looked at her. Because he doesn't favor her, her days are full of sorrow. All she ever wanted is him.

It's a story of a mighty emperor, who rules the land upto horizon... A story of an innocent lady from a noble family who gets involved in a political marriage and becomes a low rank concubine... A story of an ancient Dragon Goddess who once flew down to the earth and brought tragic ends for several creatures of the earth. A love like no one ever seen that struggles to bloom their own love which is unknown to themselves... A story of a low rank concubine rising like the sun which could never be hidden, a goddess who is unknown to her own, a mother who can do anything to protect her child, a wife beloved, a betrayer of love or for love? A love like lotus, but in a goblet of poison. In revenge and in love a woman can be more barbarous than man. Definition of revenge is going to change here, beyond one can imagine. Jealousy is engraved to the heart, hatred is the darkness of the eye... Their past is history, present is the gift and future is mystery...

This story has been swirling around my head for quite some time but I couldn't find the courage to write it because I am no writer. Nevertheless, I have decided to take the plunge to just get it out of my head. This story is based on my favourite Cdrama Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossom. It will not follow the timeline of the drama but will have all the familiar characters and places. Bai Qian the Crown Princess of the Imperial Fox Family came back from her high goddess trial a changed woman. Gone is the mischievous and fun loving girl. What came back is a fierce warrior who is determined to organise and train the first ever army of Qing Qui. Mo Yuan the God of War and Ye Hua his twin brother, the Crown Prince of the Celestial throne must fight the battle that could cost both their lives and of all realms. A secret is about to be revealed that will intertwine the fates of the twin brothers and the warrior queen of Qing Qui. The three and another must come together to win the battle of their lives but will they? This is my first ever story so I'd like to request all to be kind. This one is dedicated to @SuninTaurus and @Moosesforgooses ❤️
