The Hoarfrost’s Blossom

## **Hero Lore**

On the grasslands that stretches for thousands of miles in the north, there live the tribes of the Wolf Banner. They live by the water and grass, associating with cattle, sheep and wolves, and where all people there are powerful warriors. However, when the extreme north cold invades the grasslands, making their living environment more and more harsh. In order to obtain food, they went south from outside the Great Wall and attacking the Great Wall from time to time.

At that time, the Central Plains was in chaos, and the scorched princes had no time to deal with this group of savages, and could not allow them to plunder, so they had to unite and negotiate with them. In the end, a temporary armistice agreement was reached at the cost of food and cloth. Along with these peace gifts arrived, there was also the princess who was married.

The wolfman sent the princess to their holy land, the Winter Sea, and sacrificed her to the gods as a bride. They firmly believe that this will allow their gods to come back to the world and protect the tribe. Over time, this evolved into a cruel and sacred tradition.

However, after years of war and chaos, several powerful countries began to rise on the mainland. The rulers no longer needed the covenant, and began to plan to kill the barbarians in the north. They planned a cruel conspiracy: they attacked the entire grassland while the people held the festival unsuspectingly. That day, the whole land turned red. The history books of later generations recorded this event as a "blood wedding."

Even so, the generals were still dissatisfied. They also wanted to find the treasures in the glacier-the place where the princesses slept, buried treasures dedicated to the gods by barbarians over the years.

The executioners got their wish. Everyone cheered, celebrating the unprecedented success, and was busy bringing piles of gold back to the Central Plains. However, when they didn't notice it, the sky became dark, and the blizzard came suddenly, followed by a huge avalanche.

Is this the wrath of the wolf-banner god? The soldiers who had just survived wailed and fled, but the way back was blocked by ice and snow. They can only struggle like insects in amber, watching their bodies freeze into a glassy coffin.

After one night, the sky gradually cleared. The surviving wolf bannermen walked out of their hiding place and surrounded their princess, Wang Zhaojun. Her elegant, beautiful, bright aqua eyes were full of sadness, her long fingers brushed the cold and grim faces of the visitors from her hometown.

"Tell me, have the plum blossoms in my hometown bloomed yet?"
