In the heart of modern day Tokyo , amidst the bustling streets and towers.

There lived a young woman named Shizumu Nomura. Born into a clan of revered alchemists and healers, Shizumu's life was bound by the threads of fate and the weight of her family's legacy.But behind the facade of her clan's esteemed reputation lay a darker truth, a truth that Shizumu carried like a heavy burden upon her shoulders. She was not just a member of the Nomura clan; she was their unwitting pawn, a victim of their thirst for power and knowledge.

And so, on a fateful night bathed in the silvery glow of the moonlit room, Shizumu made a decision that would alter the course of her destiny forever.

They saw me as nothing more than a tool," she thought bitterly, her heart heavy with resentment.

"A guinea pig to be used in their twisted experiments."

For years, Shizumu had endured the agony of countless poisons coursing through her veins, her body a battleground for the clan's insatiable thirst for knowledge. She had suffered in silence, her pain hidden behind a mask of confidence, her spirit slowly withering under the weight of their cruelty. But even as she lay on her deathbed, the bitter taste of betrayal lingering on her lips, Shizumu could not bring herself to hate them entirely. For in their own twisted way, they had nurtured her, honed her skills, and shaped her into the woman she had become."They made me strong," she whispered, her voice barely a whisper in the darkness. "But at what cost?"

But death was not the end for her , for even in the realm beyond the veil, her journey was far from over. Little did she know that her path would lead her to a new dawn, an era that was adored by the Tang dynasty of ancient China. Her new life is full of mystery and deception as she struggles to survive.
