World Convergence

Dynasties rise and dynasties fall, like the tide washing the sand.

On one side, he suffers from intrigue and hides his great ambition; on the other, the mysterious girl hides her anger behind her gentle smile.

Who toppled the country, establishing their dynasty?

Who built the Yellow Springs and set it over Imperial Power, inciting strife and conquering the earth?

Who exchanged gazes at the Nine Palaces to the sound of halberd and blood, watching the falling flowers of Acacia?

Who drank the poisoned wine and smiled, trading it for a cinnabar dot to the chest?

Tribulation and strife has destroyed past prosperity; he would not retreat, and she has not finished singing.

.... Is she disturbing the earth world, or is the world disturbing her?

This is a seemingly simple story about an era of recovering the old country and the fight for the throne, and the men and women on both sides.

To conquer or resist;
To push away or fight for chance.
To provoke or to still;
To love, or to refuse love.

As time had passed, the Zuo Ying Scroll had become synonymous with the insurmountable - all scholars held it in awe and admiration, but it was considered too lofty to touch.

After disappointment after disappointment, the Emperor grew tired of the sham answers and released an Imperial Edict. Only those with confidence in their answers could attempt the scroll, and no aspirant hopefuls could waste time by "trying." An offense was punishable by death, for the charge of deceiving the Emperor. After the Imperial Edict was proclaimed, no one had dared risk their lives on the scroll.

Bringing the scroll out today represented a symbolic pursuit, rather than any real attempt at finding a scholar. It was an image.

The golden thread of the Zhuo Ying Scroll danced in the air, and hungry eyes looked up at this golden staircase to the heavens. All eyes burned with passion, and heads were raised longingly, but no one dared step close.
