Ariana was kicked out of her province and banished to reenter home. She lost her title and took the life of an ordinary mermaid who fell in love. She went in search of her Feng who was caught and taken back back home by his sister father, The King. Ariana could not bear to stay away from him and pleaded King Dylan to take her in.
"All right, you may join the royal guards and become one of us," King gave her what she requested.
"Thank you your highness," she bowed and thanked King Dylan.
"You don't have to do this," Feng told her.
"I did not come here to just look around here," Ariana said. "I came here to become your wife, Feng, I'm saying yes, i did not know you were proposing the last time,"
"Ariana,"
"Yes, yes, yes," she said and hugged him.
The Underwater Realm happily held the marriage between Ariana and Feng. King Dylan was more than happy but at the same time, Feng was dying.
The marriage and consummation led to the birth of an unexpected child. A Phoenix, the Celestial descendant. But on the day of Ariana's delivery, when she went under labour, on the other room, Feng drew his final breath. Ariana handed him the baby. Feng planted a kiss on his child and his wife and left the world. It was cruel again. Without cultivating the power what a Phoenix should, kept under the water for too long, a primordial spirit of the Phoenix died slowly.
"Nooo... Feng nooo.." she cried out loud that echoed in the whole palace.
When Ariana fell unconscious, her baby was taken away from her. But no one knows where the baby is taken to. When Ariana woke up, she was told she lost her child to some disease the baby faced during pregnancy. Ariana was lost. She had nothing in the world to hold in to. She continued living in Feng's chamber, and as the official royal guard. But her doubt on King Dylan never ended.

Tai remained unaware about the life and death of Feng and the birth of another Phoenix but his threat was the mighty Huo, his step son. A dragon born to his wife. He found the evidence that the boy Master Bo Hai brought is the son of Empress Lihua. But every action Emperor Tai took against Huo, Water Realm's princess got involved. Since Huo and Aqua fell in love. Trying to destroy Huo, Tai wanted his son Aaron to be the one to marry Aqua. But little did he know about the future events.
Huo was cheated by his and Aqua's own best friend Volca, a demoness they trained with in school. She took him to the Demon Realm and gave him to his father.
But eventually Huo accepted his fate and chose Demon Realm as home.
When Aqua was forced into the engagement, that day Huo showed up and recused the whole family of Aqua who were betrayed and imprisoned. What started never ended well. It lead to a battle between Huo and Aaron. Where in the end, the four people died. Aqua, Huo, and Aaron, facing a tragic death. Only then everyone knew about the baby growing in Aqua's womb.
Water Realm no longer had patience to cooperate with Tai. But they were constantly haunted. Years later, Aqua reincarnated as a human to go through her trials, while Huo'er was brought back to life by Dritan sacrificing his own life and giving Volca directions to look after him. Volca who was unaware that she is the illegitimate daughter of Emperor Tai and Demoness Royal Guard Fiona. She hated her existence. Betraying her friends, disliked by her master, disappointing her mother and her King. She was lost. But she decided to make Huo who had no memory about his past hers.
When Aqua returned back after the trails, She learned the truth. But Tai did not let her live peacefully putting the Water Realm in danger again.
But Aqua discovered a truth no one should have. But she kept it a secret for everyone's good. She fought Emperor Tai, she fought King Dylan, and she became a rebel everyone. Huo had taken the throne again by then, regaining his memory but he kept Volca close to him. But Aqua misunderstood him. But Huo never gave up. He chased her everywhere and stood with her.
Aqua in the end left Heaven when no one supported her. She left for good, with Huo the Demon King. Demons accepted her as their Queen. The most powerful one. And that's when Huo declared war with heaven. And Water Realm joined hands with them.
Heaven was shocked to see King Aenon not standing with them. But he believed strongly how Tai should no longer remain in the throne.
By then Tai had complete lost his mind. The Phoenix core he places inside his busy began to weaken him. He always failed to tame the powers that went beyond his controls. And he no longer received help from his wife to keep the heat in his body. Tai began to fall sick. And he began to kill people in the palace. In the end he accepted demonic while sitting in the throne of Heaven. Nobody knew about it except his daughter Volca, Huo the Demon King and The royals of Water Realm. But they did not have the proof to prove it to people.
But war did not spare him.
For every cruel deed he did in his life, Aqua, and Huo, and his wife Lihua paid him back one by one. And in the end he died in the hands of his own daughter for letting his men misbehaved towards her and watch it. Volca was finally satisfied and left Heaven and Hell forever under punishments.
Empress Lihua then called for a meeting. She wanted to walk away from the throne and hand it over to some one responsible. And in the end they found the one. They found Aenon eligible for the post.
The coronation was completed in a hurry. By then Aenon also took his daughter Aqua back home.
"I will hold the wedding for you two," Emperor Aenon promised his daughter and Demon King.
