SOME SAY SHE WAS SENT to unite the four Kingdoms. Others say, she was sent to divide them. Still others insist she sent by the Gods, as punishment. As a blessing. An offering.

No one truly knew where she came from—only that she was delivered by the sky, and she was claimed by the Lóng Guó, the Dragon Nation.

Still others believed she was Nüwa herself, sent to bless her creation.

I am Mei Ying Yu and I do not know where I come from. I do not know what my destiny is, nor can I explain what my origins are.

I only know one thing for certain: I am the Emperor's Wife.
