That night, twin siblings, a dragon and a phoenix, are born in the imperial palace, but their fates are worlds apart. The beloved concubine, driven by the struggle for power in the harem, drowns the newborn infant. Through a twist of fate, she falls into the River Styx and is reborn as the infant girl. In the dark night, a boy carrying a small lamp becomes her brother. As the full moon rises, the lotus lamps are lit once again. She yearns for the warmth of the human world and for an unwavering love.

She lives as if dead, yet clings to the obsession with 'life,' waiting for the day when she can truly break free from her cocoon.
