Empire's Flower

¦Prologue

It was cold. The full moon was completely visible while the water under the bridge was trying to reflect the moon's mesmerizing beauty.

Once in a while a fish would jump out of the water and then dive back. The cold breeze would pass over her and then smoke comes out of her mouth every time she exhale.

The lining trees beside the road were bending towards the water as if it was trying to reach out the water. Their reflection on the water contrasts the moon's shine.

Liarah was standing on the bridge's railing. The cold breeze passing through her face felt so relaxing and peaceful.

It was so relaxing that she almost forgot her problems and worries.

Usually in movies and dramas this was the type of scenario where the main character would meet her lover and share sweet words as they walk together.

"So peaceful..." Liarah said while looking at the moon and then looks down at the water.

'But why do I want to kill myself in this nice place?.. But the world seems to agree on me jumping from here'

"Goodbye"

*PWOM!

'Ugh! It hurts... It hurts so much. And it's so cold... Very cold'

She wondered why she thought jumping off a bridge in the middle of winter would be a good way of ending her life.

'Is this how drowning feels like?.. My chest feels tight'

Her body slowly goes deeper and deeper underwater. The air inside her was escaping through her mouth, she opened her eyes a little. The view in front of her was much more prettier than before she jumped off. At her final breath she struggled. Realizing she doesn't want to die yet.

"No!!" She yelled, extending her hand in front of her as she sprung up.

"Huh?.. This isn't the river..." Liarah said.

A sudden sound of glass shattering sounded beside her. A Woman dropped a bowl of soup.

'Huh? Who is she?.. Where am I too. And why am I not dead yet?'

The Women froze beside her. She looked very shocked that she wasn't able to move.

Another Woman walked behind her. She looked like Liarah but older version.

"Liah!?!" She yelled as she ran towards Liarah and embraced her "I'm glad you finally woke up"

'I don't know her but... It feels like I know her. Who is this woman'

"Uhmm... Excuse me, who are you?.."

"What?.."

She turned pale as she stared at Liarah.

"It's me Lianlang! Your big sister!"

"I... Don't kno- Lian!" Liarah unconsciously hugged the Woman.

'What... Why did I hug her all of a sudden'

"Wait here I'll call Mom and Dad"

Lianlang ran outside the room in a rush while the Woman was still standing near the door.

'Where am I though... I should ask her'

"Hey"

"Ahh y-yes Lady Liah?" She replied in a scared tone.

"Where am I?.."

"I-in Shianluo House, Lady Liah"

'Where the heck is that?'
