Inside the main palace at the peak of Celestial Phoenix, one of the rooms bore witness to recent turmoil.
Due to an attack from a faction of unknown origin, many servants and maids had already fallen.
However, two guards stood vigil outside a door, their presence a testament to the peril that had befallen the palace.
Within the room, a woman was seated beside a bed, where a young woman lay asleep.

As fragmented memories flashed through her mind, she struggled to recall the events of the previous day.
The last image etched in her thoughts was that of a man descending the stairs and reaching the main peak, and then everything had gone dark.
"M-meiyue?!"
The woman, who was Jenny's mother, recoiled in shock upon seeing her daughter jolt awake, gasping for breath.
