The Celestial Temple trembled beneath ancient magic as the Moon Gate awakened.
Yuexin stood at its base — a towering arch carved from starstone and glowing with old sigils that pulsed in rhythm with her heartbeat. The six princes stood behind her, each tense, each watching her with unspoken questions in their eyes.
> "Only the true Saintess may pass," whispered the Elder Priest. "Only she may see what lies beyond."
Scene: The Test Begins
As yuexin stepped forward, the gate lit up with a silver flame. Her black and gold robe shimmered, reacting to the symbols as if they recognized her soul. The moment her hand touched the gate…
FLASH.
She was no longer in the temple.
She stood alone in a realm of floating moons, swirling stars, and endless sky. A voice echoed all around her — ancient, distant, yet warm.
> "Your heart hides pain. Your soul hides truth. Show us, yuexin… are you ready to become who you were born to be?"
Trial One: The Mirror of Forgotten Lives
Before her appeared a glowing mirror. Inside it, she saw her past selves —
A warrior drenched in blood…
A healer who died protecting children…
A saint who burned for love.
Tears welled in yuexin's eyes.
> "That was me?" she whispered.
> "All of them are you. But you must now choose — fight your fate, or embrace it.
Back in the Real World
Outside the Moon Gate, the six princes grew restless. Prince ran stepped closer than the others. His fists clenched.
> "Why is it taking so long? What if she—"
> "Trust her," ran interrupted coldly, though even his breath trembled.
Suddenly — the gate exploded with light.
Yuexin Awakens
Yuexin emerged — her aura brighter, stronger, her eyes glowing like suns within the moon.
Golden sigils hovered behind her, and her voice was steady.
> "I remember… a piece of who I am."
The princes looked at her in awe. Even ran's eyes widened with something like… fear. Or admiration. Or both.
And yet, a shadow passed across the sky above them.
A dark energy watching.
Waiting..
The true trials have only just begun
