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.

The Tian Sheng Emperor's heart was still filled with gloom so he casually nodded at Feng Zhiwei's request. She smiled and stepped forward, gently rolling up Ning Yi's sleeve. Carefully moving, she picked up the sharp silver knife and placed it against his wrist.

Yesterday she had held his wrist to take his pulse, and today she would cut him, administering a test of life and death.

Ning Yi's dark, deep eyes reflected back her misty gaze, circles of light shining in an abyss, dim and blurred, so close and yet so far apart.

Feng Zhiwei turned, avoiding his eyes.

The silver light flashes as the knife cut, spilling blood.

A light golden liquid fell, too bright to face.

Cries filled the court as the Emperor's face fell.

Ning Yi lifted his head, staring in disbelief at the light gold blood flowing from his wrist. The blood flowed downwards into the golden basin, mixing indistinguishably with the water colored gold by the basin's light.
