This is a life story of Zhao Yang, who is the 8th prince of Northern Song Dynasty's Zhao Kingdom.

At birth, his fate has been sealed by his father, the emperor dowager, to be a general as the imperial astronomer predicted he would make a fearsome general who would protect the kingdom and not let his people down.

Being the youngest, he was the most mischevious of the 8 sons. Then being most doted on by the ruling Emperor who is also his 5th brother and alongside with his younger cousin, Bai Xuan whom Zhao Yang adores dearly and almost never spent a day apart from, the palace rules and strict lifestyle wasn't able to dampen the adventurous and care free attitude in him. For Zhao Yang, rules are meant to be broken and if no mischief was achieved for the day, his day wouldn't be completed.

However, as he grow, the days for such fun and carefreeness was numbered and soon, destiney was here to claim him bit by bit.

"I'm so tired An Ning. You know... I used to have this litt⁹le dream with Bai Xuan. We promised each other that when this war is over, we would leave the palace with our wives and children and build our houses on a huge lotus pond." I said as a silent tear rolled down my cheek.

My voice was suddenly reduced to a whisper for fear if I speak any louder, I'd break down again, "I miss him..."

On my Note:
There will be some chinese words peppered here and there but I try my best to cater to readers who cannot read chinese.
