the empire was blooming. blooming like a great Chinese lily. Lycoris. the great Lycoris Empire, whose ruler was Xiao Dan. a truly powerful and wise man, who had a hundred servants by his side and… Honggu. oh, Honggu…

his love, passion and ‘home’. Honggu was the second person in the empire, whom the subjects feared. feared, because he always stood behind the emperor, hiding like a shadow.

they were the embodiment of eternal love, eternal care and…

…eternal war. bloody battles, eternal deaths and screaming turned the Lycoris Empire into hell. the war between states for territories took place only this way and in no other way.

the previously gentle and smiling Xiao Dan turned into a fierce emperor, holding on to his place and the walls of the Empire with both hands, not allowing the soldiers to surrender. thoughts were occupied only with the awareness of reality, blood and death. he did not remember himself, did not remember when and why he needed to go to bed and eat.

but Hongu remembered it, who with both hands held on to the emperor, not allowing him to lose hope and faith in himself.

-Honggu, I told you to get out of my sight.

the imperial voice. drops of love and... despair. now is not the time for this.. it is necessary to keep the rear of the empire in mind, and throw the first rows of the army straight into the war, raking up their territories...
