A prophecy once told in Huanyu Empire that the throne shall be in the hands of a child born under the grace of the moonlight goddess.
"At exactly midnight of the blood moon's appearance, the moon will shine in ruby red, and rays of the moonlight goddess blessing shall shine upon the blessed child. The throne shall be in the hands of a child who bears the midnight purple eye."
After a year, the blood moon appeared but there were only two children born, one from the crown prince's estate and the other is from General Zhang's estates.
One was born with two majestic ocean blue eyes with a hint of golden rays. A sign that the child bears the royal blood 'Mystic Blue eyes'.
Once every hundred years, a child will be born with the royal bloodline. It is said that whoever bears the Mystic blue eyes shall rule the Empire to prosperity.
The other child, however, was lifeless. They checked the eyes and it had ordinary hazel brown eyes.

Bai Gongzu a messenger from the royal palace, gave a pitying look as he turns to leave. His assignment was clear - 'kill the baby if it has midnight purple eyes'.
Who would have thought that the baby will die this way?
It was well known that General Zhang has 2 sons, one is hostage by another empire, and the other one got injured and become crippled. Zhang Gozun's wife, Zhang Feifei becomes pregnant. However, happiness in the General's estate didn't last long. Feifei had a miscarriage due to stress and will have problems bearing another child in the future.
But heaven was gracious that she became pregnant again.
But the happiness didn't last long, the child was lifeless.
Curtains were closed, maids are dismissed.
Mourning with their child, the couple shed tears holding each other's hand.
Amidst the silence, Zhang Feifei crumbled in pain.
Her stomach began to ache, a sensation she quite remembers.
Zhang Gozun tried to get up and look for help but Feifei holds his hand and shook her head.
He immediately understood what she meant.
They may only have one chance of having a child, if it bears the purple eyes, it may end tragically again.
Alone, he helps her give birth.
Since Feifei was already in a weak state, he did everything he could so she would not pass out.
Alas! The child finally got out.
But a gloomy atmosphere could be heard, for the baby didn't cry.
He has placed the child next to her twin.
They were both silent.
Zhang Guzun opened the window. Looking clearly at the blood moon.
'What exactly did we do to deserve this?' He thought.
Feifei was looking at their child, weak and shocked.
She couldn't bear the pain anymore, her mind starts to blur.
She almost fainted but her consequences quickly comebacks when she saw a miracle!
As the moonlight touch her babies, their skin began to have color.
Their lips and cheeks became red, then... a loud cry could be heard.
The twins are alive!
