Teaser 03
Mingxia was busy practicing yangge with her mother, Yanna, when a child ran into their house, drenched in tears and something red. Blood. Mingxia and Yanna immedately ran over to the familiar child, checking to make sure he wasn't hurt and attempted to retrieve any information about whatever happened to him. The child continued to wipe tears off his face with his hands that were balled into fists, body trembling in fear from the aftermath of the slaughters that he had witnessed. 

"Minghao gege-" Between his frantic cries, the child could only muster up the two words. Yanna's blood ran cold and she began shaking the child.

"What is it? What happened to Minghao?" Yanna's harsh shaking scared the child further and he retracted himself from her hold as more tears began to fall. By now, Yanna was also b with tears and even Mingxia was anxious.

She couldn't wait any longer for the child to just stop crying she had to find out what had happened to her brother that was making this boy cry so frantically. With that thought in mind, Mingxia dropped her fan and ran out of the house. With feline grace, Mingxia leapt onto the roofs to be able to see more ground, catching sight of the backs of several men wearing black wheeling away a wagon full of bodies. From the way that the men were moving quickly and silently, Mingxia could tell that the men were not to be messed with and she stuck to the shadows as she watched them. She followed them deep into the kingdom's neighbouring forest where they set the bodies on fire; one of which, was her brother. She forced herself to remain crouched behind a cluster of bushes where the men couldn't see her.

Although Mingxia was never particularly close with her brother, mostly out of jealousy that he was slightly better than her at their family clan's form of martial arts, tears rolled down her face. Her lips felt dry and it felt as if something had gotten caught in , causing her to choke slightly. She bit the bottom of her lips to prevent her cries from being heard by the men that were burning all the bodies. Mingxia watched her brother diminish before her very eyes, the blood from the apparent wound sizzling and bubbling as it heated until his body was burned to a crisp. She balled her hand into fists, gripping the soil beneath her, the soil that was stained with the dripping blood of her people, innocent people who left their hometown to escape the impending civil war.

She was going to make sure everyone who had a hand in this mindless slaughter pay.
Viv's Notes — Teaser 03 is finally up! I decided to keep the original plot so there will be no time traveling lel. Btw, although I did say technically everyone is chosen, some are main characters while others are secondary main characters and might have an early death. So if you are not ok with that, you can pm me and I will let you know honestly how long your character will be written for. And if you wish to pull your character out, I'm ok with that. See you guys there.

Fei's Notes — Congratulations to everyone! I hope that you will give this story lots of love! Viv is juggling 2 stories as well as school so please be patient with us!

Chapter 9: Hi hi I am still here! :) very excited to see an update from you and glad to see you around! As for the new update, I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the strategizing between Suho and Oda Mirai! Its interesting to see suho portrayed as a more manipulative person! Its refreshing and I enjoyed their interactions with each other. I also like the dyanmic youve set up between the doctors and Lay. Thanks for updating and for ur hard work! :)

Chapter 9: I realized that I never wrote a comment to the first chapter. Ops. Sorry.
Mingxia seems really obstinate, Zhizui seems kinda dependant of her brother, while Yuria looks like she hides a great force within her. Nahla for sure looks like the more self-assured of the princess and Xinyi is clearly a wild card. xD Haneul and Syeira look like two different sides of the same condition (since both are entertainers and all). Fuhwa must be a hella good of a servant if she's Consort Wu's personal servant (and ashdajsh my heart melted a little with her interaction with Minseok), while I wish the best luck to Xinyuan, because Madam Wu is hella scary ;w;
Ohoho! So it's not only Consort Wu who can be unforgiving! I just wonder how uncomfortable must be a room where Queen Mieun and Consort Wu are together... Fuhwa seems like a good girl, it's just kinda unfortunate that she seems to have fallen right for the oldest of the princes. ;w; (not only the oldest, but also the Queen's firstborn OTL). -shivers- Yixing must have nerves of steel, because as always, Consort Wu is scaryyyy. And I had to laugh at him having TWO doctors and tripping himself lol Seems like he really needs those doctors. Must be hard on the two women (specially Xuelan, since she's the most unwilling of the two. Jaeeun looks just exasperated xD) And hasilhailsdhadiai HOLY MOTHER I'M ALREADY SHIPPING JUNMYEON AND MIRAI SO HARD! ;w; -run- (p.s: yup, Yuria can be very powerful!)

Chapter 9: Bruh im still here^^~
literally i was just thinking about this story yesterday, and today you updated it!!
Yayyy so I'm really happy :))

Anywho, this story just seems really realistic to me, like i can imagine it as an actual
historical drama with all the servants gossiping around the castle and the queen
overhearing it and what not. And the tension between the consorts and the sons are
definitely something, i can feel the inner battle for power, and i love it all so muchhhhh

Chapter 9: omg viv!
you're back~~!!!!!!
your timing couldn't be more perfect. just when i really missed exo-centric story, you brought this story back with you TT

anyway, i always hate queens and consorts role in dramas. i mean, they always play the most disturbing and annoying part in the story. and it's no different in this story. if one of the princesses decide to kill one of them, the queen or consort wu, i think i wouldn't mind lol
and mirai and junmyun already have a head start to conquer the throne! gaah~! i love the fact that you don't soften mirai's character. she's calculative and cunning. i love it <3
really looking forward to next chapter >.<

Chapter 9: I am still here. Oh, I would never want to get on Consort Wu's or the Queen's bad side. Those two are fearful and dangerous women. Oh Xuelan, cracks me up on grumbling about being there and what not. I am gald that you are back to writing this story and I can't wait to read more.
