Lore
Year 158 of the Xiǎo (曉) calendar; ancestors had named their era “Dawn”, sketching a beautiful future for their descendants. Yet this was not the era for the sun to peek above the horizons, to shine its light upon the lands. Instead, it was the dawn of battle, the dawn of misery and suffering. Wars were aflame, the footsteps of battle-hardened soldiers thudding across the terrain—such a long conflict had been ongoing for a few hundred years.
In these lands were two behemoths that vied for power; the Jīnfèng (金鳳) Empire symbolising a Golden Phoenix, and the Yínshī (银狮) Empire symbolising a Silver Lion. The former controlled the east while the latter reigned in the west, yet both wished for more power, resulting in frequent invasions and wars between subordinate states.
Jīnfèng (金鳳) Empire, “Golden Phoenix”
The Jinfeng Empire is alike its name; the people valued freedom, soaring into the skies like a Phoenix, and individuals had their rights firmly protected. It is ruled by a single Emperor (皇帝), yet under this authoritative figure were four Kings (王) who oversaw the lands that were separated into four respective regions: Jìng (静) “Tranquil”, Xiá (霞) “Daybreak”, Hàn (瀚) “Vastness” and Huī (辉) “Splendour”. These Kings report to the Emperor who then makes a decision, albeit with input from their Ministers and trusted subordinates. Oftentimes, there might be suggestions from the common people regarding matters of the court through seasonal writing competitions, and the Emperor may choose to follow-up.
Having grown up in such a country, the people of Jinfeng are often free-spirited, open-minded and rather amicable to each other. Their creative and delightful ideas mean that festivals are abound with cheerful laughter and friendly competition. These frequent competitions have goals to showcase talents and share knowledge instead of determining a winner and are often built on sincerity, fairness and inclusivity. Other than these events, Jinfeng’s citizens love their art and take pride in their elegant dances, melodious music and picturesque paintings. Their clothes pair well with such hobbies and are usually flowy, stylish and unique, yet graceful.
Yínshī (银狮) Empire, “Silver Lion”
Contrary to the Jinfeng Empire, the people of Yinshi lived under an iron fist. They were taught the importance of grandeur and power, with a strict hierarchy. Yinshi is ruled by a single Emperor (皇帝) who carries the Empire on their shoulder, aided by their trusted subordinates. However, the division of ranks in Yinshi is extremely clear; advice can only be given to the Emperor by the Left and Right Ministers, but the final decision rests on the Emperor’s shoulders. In such an authoritative Empire, the people see the Emperor as their sole monarch and only has endless respect towards them. Due to the nature of its ruling, the land of Yinshi exists as a whole and is termed Lóngténg jìng (龙腾境), “Soaring Dragon Realm”.
Instead of festivals in the Yinshi Empire, there are martial arts competitions for people to showcase their talents. These hot-blooded people are fiercely protective of their own, yet their spars are appreciated by others no matter their origin, and losses are not taken personally. Respect is earned through sparring, although no matter how many wins one has, they will be limited by their title. Nevertheless, there are plenty of opportunities for people to climb up the ranks. With their love for competitions, be it sparring through sword-fighting, archery or even horse-riding, the clothes of Yinshi citizens are often more casual and fitting for impromptu activities, though there might be some with a fondness of fashion.
“We fight until the end; who is to say if this world is ruthless or kindhearted?”
Combat
Humans in the current era fought with their bodies and mind; some trained their muscles for explosive power, sharpening their prowess in sword-fighting, archery, and even Qinggong, while some controlled the battle with strategic planning, like puppet masters on the stage. Nevertheless, in such a group battle, not one side emerged victorious, leading to an endless back-and-forth, hatred strong in people’s hearts.
“Although I am insignificant and may go unnoticed, I cannot lay aside my concern for the nation.”
Plot 1
The Yinshi Empire had just attacked Luòyáng chéng (洛阳城), “Luoyang City”, under Jinfeng, leading to its fall. Luoyang is a place situated in the grasslands, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend. In such a situation, Jinfeng was unable to send ample troops to aid the city and thus temporarily gave up on it. Celebrations were abundant in Yinshi, and a banquet was held at the Imperial Palace in the name of the Fourteenth Prince(ss), Huo, who had led the charge and was widely congratulated and praised. Since Luoyang was known for its dance troupes, a group of dancers from the fallen city were escorted to the palace to perform for the nobles. In that group was Xue, who happened to be at Luoyang at that time. With their homeland destroyed in flames, Xue was determined to find a way to take revenge, yet Huo seemed to have their eyes on this particular dancer.
Possible vibes
Enemies to lovers, war, betrayals, hidden identities, opposites attract, forbidden love, love/hate relationship, hurt, misunderstandings.
“I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea."
“I want to become the sun, and every time the flowers bloom, I will come to see you.”
“They have no idea when this roaring, raging river has cut between them to ruthlessly relegate them to two opposing shores of the mortal world, never again allowed to meet.”
“Choose the world, or choose me?”
“We don’t know how our future is, but we have no way back.”
“Go home, Xue.”
“You are not guilty anymore, Huo. I don't hate you, I love you.”
Plot 2
Like a fairytale, there exists a hidden world unbeknownst to humans. The land of purity, the land in the sky. Above the clouds were those who had separated themselves from mortals; they did not interfere with the world below, though some might sneak down to experience “life”. They were termed as “cultivators”, or the “ones chosen by Deities”— once humans, but their memories of their previous life had all been erased the moment they ascended. The cultivators believed in “purity”, “detachedness” and adhered to strict rules. Having cultivated for their entire life, Yang somehow ended in the mortal realm. They ended up meeting Xing, a mortal from Yinshi/Jinfeng. Through Xing, Yang learnt about the different emotions—happiness, anger, sadness, fear, love, hatred, and desire—and about life, death and separation. They ended up questioning themselves; were the principles they followed actually “correct”, were the cultivators actually above humans, and what was actually true or false? (note. there will be little focus on cultivating i.e., mystical powers, qi, etc)
Possible vibes
War, betrayal, tragedy, questioning one’s own existence, hurt, comfort, hidden secrets, friends to lovers, hard decisions, hidden past together, reunion, misunderstandings.
“They didn’t know how many years the village had been here nor did they know how many people had been buried here. But from now on, only scorched earth remained.”
“Two thousand, three hundred and twelve days later, they met again amidst the snowstorm.
They thought that it was their first meeting, but it was in fact a reunion.”
“What was (s)he now that the moral and righteous principles (s)he had once been so sure of had all collapsed and disintegrated into nothingness?”
“What do you see?
A mountain of corpses. A sea of blood.
Why have you come?
To kill.”
“I won’t follow you into the Abyss.
It is because before you jump, I would already be covered in mud and waiting in the abyss to catch you.”
“Yang, you’re so kind but heartless at the same time. You may study the human heart, but do you know what exactly is the human heart?”
“What does the destruction of the world have to do with me? The life and death of those people, what do they have to do with me? Tell me, Xing.”
Terms preferably used in pinyin (subject to changes during discussion)
Gē (哥) - older brother (i.e., Yu-ge)
Jiě (姐) - older sister (i.e., Yu-jie)
Dì (弟) - younger brother (i.e., Yu-di)
Xiōng (兄) - brother, respectful title (i.e., Yu-xiong)
Zhèn (朕) - I, used by Emperor
etc
