In war-torn Chu, Emperor Gou Jian was cornered. General Fan Li saved him, campaigned to unify the realm, and he promised to make her empress. Upon her triumphant return, he wed the prime minister’s daughter as empress and only named her a consort. Heartbroken, Fan Li left, then was framed; her entire clan was slain. Barely surviving, she allied with Murong Yunzhao to march on the capital, vowing vengeance against Gou Jian.
