TY

In the days when King Daeron II Targaryen ruled the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdoms still believed themselves the center of the known world, there existed, far beyond the Jade Sea, an empire older than memory itself. Yi Ti was a realm of golden cities, endless rivers, and black stone roads that stretched farther than any road in Westeros. Its scholars studied the stars, its engineers reshaped mountains, and its fleets crossed oceans in ships so vast that western captains called them floating kingdoms. Wealth flowed through Yi Ti like water through its canals, and the Imperial Palace of Yin glittered with jade, gold, and pearls beneath the eastern sun. There ruled Emperor Yin Zhao, the Son of Heaven, a wise and patient sovereign who had twelve children and loved the eighth above all others. Her name was Y/n Zhao. At sixteen years of age, she was chosen for a destiny that neither princes nor princesses could refuse. To bind the oldest empire of the east to the dragon kings of the west, she would leave behind her father, her family, and the only world she had ever known, crossing half the world to marry Prince Valarr Targaryen, grandson of King Daeron II and heir to Prince Baelor Breakspear. Thus began the story of the Eighth Daughter of Jade, and the marriage that would unite two civilizations separated by oceans, legends, and the weight of history.
