The Carriage is moving, she’s being send to be as a tribute. A tribute that is forcefully submitted, sparing her own life. She was no noble, only a maid of honor. The Emperor of Chu adopted her since young, crowning to be named Princess “ Yao Zhi”. The emperor loves his daughter more than anything else, there are no reasons for him to send her to “that” place. Region of Lung, a land ruled by Wu tong. A tyrant savage who refused to crowned himself as an empeor, since all of the land was already belonged to him.
Yao Zhi sat motionlessly in her own bride’s palanquin with a somber mind, but the life of an inferior are only meant to be submitted. Rather to conceded than losing her life.
Ever since it began, she was a maid of honour, a little one who was raised by an elderly maid who’s in charge of looking after the dressing room. Her beauty sparks since at a young age. When she grew, she was a beauty sight for many eyes. However, the dreams of those men was collapsed all over since Princess Pingyang had to be married with Wu tong by an unwilling obligation. She did not agree in anyway since her heart was already fulfill with her own man. She also did threaten to take her own life if her father made her marriage compellingly with Wu tong. The Empeor was worried, until he spotted one of the maid who brought his washed clothes. He was stunned at her beauty and made his decision without reconsidering thoughts.
The winter is coming and the leaves began to turned. She opened her red curtain. Snow was falling down to her palanquin, still the restless soldier continue to carry her on. She closed the curtains and curled up to sleep, by dawn she would have reached Lung Region. Whether it was fate or karma that brought her here, The sight of Lung’s capital is in front of her. Only within the seconds of three rushes of winds, A gigantic wooden door sculptured with the picture of two lions opened as she approaches. She wasn’t dared to even looked through the swaying curtains. Yao Zhi sat down, looking onto her own frozen-like palm. This journey came to an end and the palanquin did not move any further. The red curtain was opened, She reach her hand to grab on one of the maid’s hand beside her and slowly stepping down from the palanquin, nerviously. Liu Kan, one of the skilled solider who was with the group looked at her while she was being taken away. She was taken to the reception hall. The maids all took good care of her. Seven days had passed, She had learned their customs and practice the wedding ceremony with the expert. When the propitious day came, the wedding ceremony was arranged with simplicity. In her mind, this was an opposite of a big wedding day with riches gifts and trinkets, although it was done with delicacy. The sun went down as usual, bridge and groom sat together on the same bed. He reached to grab her red face veil, revealing her face. He stared at her, fixing with her eyes. She did the same, but only for a moment before she turned the other way. He’s not dull, not knowing who she is. Since Chu region willing to dishonor him, he himself have no need to care for others. He dragged her out from his chamber and left her out on the snowy night til dawn.
She lowered her head to accept her fate. No anger nor cursing, she knew she was not deserved. The glamorous Wu tong stepped out and saw her sleeping, curling like a baby turtle. He ignored her and walked pass her. The stepping sound of his feet was further and further along with the door the was followed. She stood up and stride onto what was their bedroom. The beauty fell on a colossal bed and reached to grab a woolen thick blanket to cover herself. The warmth of the heartless still hasn't faded. But she did not understand why such a heartless person got any warmth.
He did not favor her since the first day they entered the chamber, as well as the following days.
As the one who departed from her long distant place, She sat lonely in front of an elegant gold mirror. Her long hair was braided into a bun and fixed with a golden swan hairpin. The middle-aged maid who saw the sorrow in her eyes through mirror’s reflection spoke humbly.
“ Plenty of ladies wish to marry Wu tong, still your eyes tells me the opposite.”
“Yao Ji heard what this maid had said, smiled faintly, and answered in a voice gently to Yu Huan.”
“I may be a the only woman in this land who does not desire this person… I only wish to stay with a man who truly loves me.”
As soon as she finished, a powerful shout ignited, calling everyone out of the chamber and told everyone to stepped away from the palace for hundred steps.
The last door closed after everyone had left. He suddenly walked straight towards her sitting in front of the mirror. He came straight in, squeezed the tip of her chin while looking at her, unsatisfied.
“Did you mean that you wished for another man rather than your husband?”
The silence and unconcerned eyes of her reveals her answer.
Seeing that she did not answer, he became even more furious. Just by her words, she awakened his savagery in the blink of an eye. Of course, it wasn't jealousy, but it was a feeling of being insulted.
The scrubbed wooden floor became a warzone of love, The sweetness from the taste of love that she longed for turned into bitterness in an instant. Precious garments were scattered across the ground. The dragon swallowed the blossoms. For three days, he refused to step out, Pretty flower was swept, tainted and hurted by the great storm. But even so, the storm was not merciful. He continues to blow so violently at the flower over and over again. She slept for three days and three nights until she finnaly awoke.
One night, the Great General Pe Jia Que asked to meet her. He informed her that there had been a rebellion in the palace,currently Wu Tong had now been brought unconscious and they have still haven’t found the rebeller. She received the cloak from Yi Huan and rushly followed the general to the secret door. Yao Zhi didn’t came alone, Yi Huan and Liu Kang follow closely after her. She realize that her chamber and Wu Tong are connected. Arriving at the Bed Chamber of the young dragon, She gazed upon the face of the unconscious dragon, under the candlelight. Her compassionate eyes on her husband was there for a brief moment before changing it’s tone to cold glare. She turned to asked the Royal Doctor.
“Can you neutralize the poison?”
“Yes, mylord.. It is expected that he will recover after this nightfall.”
She breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tonight we have to catch the rebels.” The tone of hers sounded extremely harsh. She turned to the great general. Wu Tong's body was moved along secret path and soon appeared at the Moon Palace. Liu Kang swapped his clothes and lay down on the bed, pretending to be the ruler of Lung’s region.The great general hid himself behind a large curtain.the lantern goes out, wind’s waved the curtain. An hour later, the curtains were still gusted. The smell of blood wafted along the wind. Footstep is began to grew louder and louder, approaching the body. The intruder did not hesitate and pounced to stab the body. However, the blade was disarmed and fallen to the ground. The battle became two versus one. The assassin had great skills. Liu Kang was fooled and stabbed by a dagger. The great general joust with the assassin. Pe Jia Que was swift and agile as a bamboo swayed by the wind. Both goes toes to toes around 30 songs of sworddance, Alas there could be only one victor. The blade’s reflected and the body of an assassin fell.
Torches were lit all over palace. The killer was dragged, everything is over. Liu Kang walked along to the Moon Palace, his wound is still visible. This time he risked his life to save the vile inhope that he would see his good intention and for her good. Arriving mortally wounded, She hurried to look over him. His blood stills dropping, She was shocked but she finally brought him to tend the wound.
Through a transparent curtain, Wu tong finally awake. He saw her tending the wound of that proud soldier. Her eyes are full of careness on the soldier, making him more jelous and furious.
Liu Kang was brought out,She attended back to her husband. Yao Zhi touches on his forehead before soaking the towel and gently rub it on his face. He instantly grab her hand and forcefully pull himself in for a kiss. She panicked while kicking him off. This action leads him to more anger.
The graceful flower again was consumed by the flame. Heat came with the waver of the bed. Moon’s reflection could be seen through the water. A night has passed since the dragon came to devour the elegant flower. Again, three days, seven days they were still inside the chamber. One month has passed, but the dragon are still furious when looking at both. He could see through Liu Kang, as a man could see through each other appearing as if he could see his own refection from the water. He approached both that was chatting. Liu Kang bowed, respecting his higher order. Which in fact, made Wu tong smirk and spoke unattractively.
“the blossom belongs with the dragon… not with a vulture that eaten on corpse.”
“The Vulture however, knows when to peck at corpses unlike the powerful dragon who does not know when to wait… he only use forces”
Hearing this soldier's fearless words, Wukong enraged. He ordered the soldiers to capture Liu Kang and beheaded him. Yao Zhi couldn't bear to see Liu Kang get killed. So she knelt down and begged her supposed husband to spare the soldier’s life . Wu Tong smirked, knowing his plan worked.
“I will spare his life only if you swear to never see this person again”
There’s no time to consider. She took the oath while her tears dropping down her cheeks. She stood up and wipe her tears. She then walked back to her chamber, knowing that this is the last time she could see Liu Kang. Even if both heart were separated by the heavens, Liu kang still follow her in distance in the shadows. She’s his first love and He his same for her. Liu Kang peer at the weeping Yao Zhi, being humiliated by the feudal king. His pain could be seen through the eyes, he grabbed his sword firmly.
From that day, The feudal King had not again came to her palace for almost a year. When eliminating Liu Kang from her life, He did not need to worry about anything. The silent palace was visited by a woman named Junjin who was one of Wu Tong's concubines. She came to meet the her with great friendship and honest . The two women sat, sipping tea from each of their cup.
“Mistress Sister, I came to see you today because I’m free..the king finally let me out of the palace” the dialogue did not urge Yao Zhi to feel anything. This lady had only been send to ask of her doing and nothing more. Yao Zhi pour the tea and pass it to her calmy
Before you came, San Chi and Peng Lan also came to said the same… I’m sincerely curious who the king had a consort with. Yao Zhi sips her tea while looking at the blooming flower. Junjin clinching her fist with hatred, she looked the other way til she saw the uniform, a men uniform which seems to be recently sewed. It looks plain, making her wonder whether the king would wear something like this. Her thought’s are fill with hatred, She ask for her leave from the first consort and took off. As that bothersome ladu reach out of the front door, Yao Zhi sigh and walked to her little garden. She look upon the large wall that withstand her and the outside world.
