In the eyes of the world, Lotus is the perfect daughter of a prestigious family. After a trip to a museum, she finds herself transported a thousand years back in time to an ancient kingdom, where she awakens as a statue of the river goddess in a temple.
After three days and nights trapped in stone, Lotus meets Alyuin, the exiled daughter of the former king. The little girl looks up, her gaze stubborn and silent.
This legendary woman from the kingdom’s history, a goddess of the battlefield who fought her entire life only to be poisoned just before claiming the throne, is now nothing more than a seemingly withdrawn but adorable young princess.
Lotus: Hmm, kind of cute.
Exiled to a remote temple by her uncle, Alyuin believes she faces a bleak future. Gazing up at the statue, she thinks to herself: If gods truly exist, then please appear before me.
That very night, a goddess enters her dreams and reaches out a hand, sealing a lifetime of faith.
The young princess kneels before the statue, bowing her head in devotion. “I will forever revere you, believe in you, never betray you, and never blaspheme. In the name of Alyuin, I swear this vow to you!”
Ten years later, she is the one who lifts the statue’s cold, stone wrist to her lips for a kiss, sighing in a low, irrepressible voice, “Forgive my offense, my eternal goddess and my beloved. You are the only one I could never let go of.”
Lotus: What happened to the ‘adorable’ one???
This legend of the ancient queen and the goddess she was bound to will become the most magnificent chapter where myth and history intertwine, passed down for a thousand years, forever and ever.
