The narrative unfolds in a realm that echoes the grandeur of imperial China, centering on a northern royal who is dispatched southward for a strategic matrimonial alliance. With her brothers fallen and her armies, along with their war mammoths, vanquished and confined, she stands alone, often scorned, and must wisely select her confidants.

The tale is primarily relayed through the perspective of a cleric who is intrigued by the tales of the recently passed empress. The cleric, named Chih, embarks on a journey to the deserted palace, Thriving Fortune, following the Empress’s demise. There, Chih encounters Rabbit, an aged lady who once served the Empress. As they inventory the palace’s possessions, Rabbit narrates the life of Empress In-yo to Chih.
