Phoenix Returns 01
Lynda was accused by her younger sister, Rong'er, of being a poisoner, yet the truth seemed far more convoluted. Rong'er tearfully confessed that she acted against her sister not by choice, but under the coercion of A-Ding and the Crown Prince, leaving her tormented by guilt. The Crown Prince, harboring resentment because Lynda's heart had never belonged to him, manipulated Rong'er to act against her.
What shocked Lynda even more was the revelation about the half jade pendant she had always cherished—a half jade pendant, a treasured symbol of purity and protection in her culture, that she had always cherished. It wasn't the Crown Prince's as she had believed, but instead belonged to Ming Wang Che, a mysterious and stoic figure she had encountered on the battlefield. Ming Wang Che was scarred and weakened, his body bearing the cruel marks of war's devastation. The two had once shared a brief but deeply emotional bond, forged amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
