## **Hero Lore**

Everyone has something they love. but did not want to lose, they will worry about gains and losses. Whether emperors, generals, or poor orphans, they will have such obsessions. For this reason, they will turn to those who claim to be able to predict the prophets and fortune tellers, to solve their doubts and give them advice, just to keep their concerns.

Let's say that the former Emperor Taizong was a generation of Mingjun. At the beginning of the troubled times, the famous generals under his command led the iron cavalry to the desert in the middle of a cloud of fog, and recruited many who relied on the Great Wall to shield against invading demons. This was the predecessor of the Great Wall Guardians. Afterwards, a fortress was built in the remote Valleyof Kings, bringing peace to the Central Plains.

Emperor Taizong had three legitimate sons, all of whom were excellent and outstanding, especially the crown prince, who was a well-trained heir. But seeing his father doting on his second brother made him faintly worried. In order to keep the status of the crown prince, he did not hesitate to seek help from the best divinator from outside the palace walls. The result of the fortune is very unfavorable to Prince Gan; as he couldn't accept it, even becoming angry and threatened to execute the diviner. But when the knife cuts the diviner down, only one peony bloomed on the spot, and that diviner disappeared without a trace.

In the end, the unethical prince's treason was exposed to the world. Emperor Taizong loved his son very much, so he just exiled him away. In order to save the livelihoods of his other two beloved sons, Emperor Taizong appointed the generous and benevolent Jin Wang, the first emperor, to succeed prince Gao. Many years later, along with this past, besides the praise to the late emperor, there is also the legend of the mysterious peony diviner.

Time has passed, Empress Wu Zetian is in power. She ordered the Palace Bureau to recruit capable people to observe the astrology and revise the calendar. Many people came here, but the most outstanding among them was a diviner alchemist who was good at planting peonies. His name is Ming Shiyin. It was rumored that he is the person was the disciple of the legendary peony diviner. The gossip even reached the ears of the Empress, and she summoned Ming Shiyin out of curiosity. Ming Shiyin presented three hexagrams, and each hexagram corresponds to a prediction of a battle for the Great Wall Guards and like clockwork; these predictions were all fulfilled within a few days.

The empress was very surprised. She has great ambitions and wants to make the prosperous world permanent, which is a wish she has never let go of. Regardless of whether the alchemist's prediction comes from hexagrams or strategies, they will definitely be able to help him. So he ordered Ming Shiyin to be rewarded handsomely, but he refused. All he wanted was a small courtyard in Chang'an City, where he could grow peonies and play chess with his disciples.

He got his wish. Soon, the name of this peony alchemist , together with his extremely accurate divination and disciple of a talented chess player, became famous in Chang'an city instantly.

There is only one person who has many doubts about this mysterious alchemist. This is Di Renjie, the empress' confidant, Chang'an magistrate and detective.

When the peonies were in full bloom, Di Renjie visited Ming Shiyin's elegant residence. The two spread out the chessboard and discussed several games against each other. Di Renjie, who usually discovers intents of the toughest of criminals, has suffered multiple defeats on the chessboard.

Ming Shiyin asked the detective with a faint smile: "Would you like to play another round sir?"

The man threw away the chess piece and asks: "It is said, with the permission of Her Majesty the Empress, if there is any changes in visions within the hexagram and the visions were to be wrong, you can admit defeat at any time?"

"Yes." Ming Shiyin said

"I'll see to that." Di Renjie replied sharply

"Sir, I don't understand?" Ming Shiyin questioned the sudden reply.

Di Renjie looked directly at the alchemist with bright eyes: "Back then, before Her Majesty ascended her throne as the Empress, she entrusts in me."

A flashback to that time, the empress also hesitated and hesitated, in conflict and turmoil with her ambition to create a prosperous nation.

She said to Di Renjie, her confidant: "Look at me, carefully."

"Observe me, warn me, and be wary of me. Please, do not let me deviate from my original intention, let me and my ideals continue myself on the right path."

The Empress, is headstrong. Her will and determination were stronger than anyone could have imagined.

"What are you asking for? It's okay to hide it for now. I will see to it, always."

Back to the present

Looking at the figure of the sheriff who dropped the chilling warning and walked away, the alchemist smiled mockingly.

"That's quite... wishful."

But Di Renjie was right. Sometimes he also recalls the past, the farewell to his brother who died under the Great Wall.

Just like the Empress wants to use his divination to seek the long-cherished wish of a prosperous age, just like Di Renjie is obsessed with guarding the beloved Chang'an City, why is he not like this.

He came to Chang'an in order to get back what he couldn't lose in his heart.

Flowers bloom like a golden era, cultivated by human hearts
