Synopsis:

The True Colors of the Empress

The third installment in the Heaven’s Mandate: Grace and Glory series.

They say she was the most fortunate queen — born to the throne, the world at her feet, kneeling in worship. Her destiny chart marked her as the reincarnation of a sovereign, and from then on, she was to enjoy a life of earthly splendor.

But in truth, she was the most tragic queen — the land already divided among warlords, royal power reduced to a puppet show. In the imperial struggle, the songs of empire never ceased, and she was but a pawn in the tides of power.

As a puppet queen, all she sought was freedom, yet it remained out of reach. She fell in love with the aloof High Priest, but his power stood as the very obstacle to her throne.

The dignity she longed for was also the barrier on his path to seize the empire.

Who is whose calamity, whose enemy?

Who sacrifices for whom? Who schemes for whom?

“If, in this world, only one path remains for her to walk, I would choose to send her down it.
If that path must be paved with the corpses of all others — then let it begin with me.”

This path is paved with flowers and bones alike, where cold indifference and burning passion coexist.

In the end, it led to a snowy night beneath the imperial song — one blade, severing all ties.

The hands that stir the winds and clouds of this world have torn us apart.

But please believe — I will return.
