The Caged Phoenix

Years pass, and Luo Yun Chang grows up in the crumbling ruins of the once-glorious Luo Clan. Hidden deep within the valley, their ancestral home is nothing but shattered temples and broken celestial artifacts.

From a young age, Yun Chang realizes her life is different.

She is never allowed beyond the clan’s borders. The elders whisper about her behind closed doors. Even among the children of the fallen clan, she is treated as an outsider.

But Madam Luo, her grandmother, remains her shield.

"You are the last flame of our bloodline. One day, you will understand."

Despite being isolated, Yun Chang is not weak. She studies ancient texts in the ruined library, learning about the past glory of the Luo Clan—the astrologers of the heavens, rulers of the sky, and guides of fate. She listens to the stories of celestial wars, of deities and emperors who once sought their wisdom.

But one tale always haunts her.

The story of Lady Lu, the ancestor who betrayed the heavens.

According to legend, Lady Lu tried to defy fate itself, and for that, she was struck down by the Heavenly Emperor.

"She was too ambitious. She reached too high."

The story lingers in Yun Chang’s mind, but something about it feels wrong.

One night, under a sky filled with falling stars, Yun Chang sneaks into the forbidden archives of the Luo Clan. There, she discovers something shocking—a hidden prophecy carved into stone.

"The dragon’s blood shall return, and the night shall rise again."

Her hands tremble as she traces the ancient words. Her birth was not a curse. It was destiny.

For the first time, anger burns in her chest.

The heavens did not just punish Lady Lu. They feared her.

And now, they would fear her once more.

As the anger surged within her,

a flood of memories crashed into her mind—her betrayal,

the fall of the Lu Clan, the heavens turning their back on her.

Her hands trembled, not with fear, but with an unshakable resolve.

She would restore the Luo Clan, reclaim its former glory, and ascend once more—to make the heavens pay for what they had done.
