## **Introduction**

Mi Yue is a skirmisher mage that can be played in top lane or in the jungle, Her kit has no mana requirement and sustainance that can last her through many short battles. If she wills it.

## **Hero Lore**

Mi Yue will never forget of her humble girlhood that ended with the admiration and stunned eyes of Lord Xuanyong. With the weapon of beauty and her insight of battle tactics, she became a victor for a while. Not only she survived from the harem, but even became the queen dowager of Qin. However, time shows mercy to No One. The youthful face crumbles away from her fingers like fine sand, and the young monarch gradually grows into adulthood.

As one say: "Power and dignity are like candles in the wind, which may be extinguished in an instant."

Mi Yue realizes this, and began to dread for her upcoming end every each day.

**At this time, a man claiming to be Xu Fu tremblingly fell under her feet and asked for her aide in a fit of panic. As for gratitude he presented to Mi Yue an elixir of eternal youth.**

She drank the elixir and fell into a wonderful dream. In that dream, she returns to her golden age, overlooking the enemies of the past. When she woke up from the dream, she knew that everything wasn't an illusion. What she sees in the mirror is exactly what she looked like twenty years ago. As Xu Fu said, the lost beauty of youth is back.

Xu Fu got his wish and got the asylum he longed for. Mi Yue provides Xu Fu a special medicine room to refine that powerful elixir.

Xu Fu asked for materials for the elixir; **Living Subjects** for the elixir. Death row prisoners and prisoners of war became the first victims, and later demons are captured just for this elixir alone.

However, the duration and the potency of the elixir is getting shorter and shorter by day. Faced with impatient questions from the Mi Yue, Xu Fu once again presented a new secret recipe - **THE medicine for immortality. Mi Yue learned for the first time that there was once a glorious era in the past. People at that time had longer lives and longer youths through magical means.**

Soon, Xu Fu began this new experiment: he soaked a young man into the magic potion pool, and performed a magical ritual, transforming him into a powerful warrior, receiving a life span far beyond human beings.

Mi Yue witnessed this miracle and was ecstatic. She wanted to be beautiful and strong. But at this time, a mysterious being invaded her palace, and after that bloody night, Xu Fu disappeared.

Mi Yue couldn't bear the shattering of her dream close at hand.

"I Hunger for youth and beauty, and I am **willing** to pay the price."

"My Age You Ask? That's a secret."
