5 | During the Northern Qi Dynasty a prophecy foretells that victory would go to the one who has the priestess's blessing. Yang Xue Wu, the last priestess of her clan, unwittingly becomes embroiled in a war between Northern Qi and Northern Zhou. Although she foresees a tragic fate for Gao Chang Gong, the Prince of Lan Ling and a general of Northern Qi, she falls in love with him and helps him win the war against Yuwen Yong, the Emperor of Northern Zhou. |

9 | !!Contains examples of: |
10 | * AnimalMotifs: Lin Shi compares Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Yong to wolves: a [[AmbitionIsEvil greedy wolf]] for Yuwen Hu, and a starved wolf for Yuwen Yong. |
11 | * EvilUncle: Yuwen Hu, for Yuwen Yong and his brothers. He poisons Yuwen Yu and abuses Yuwen Yong. |
12 | * GenocideSurvivor: Xue Wu and her grandmother are among the few survivors of the Sorceress Clan. |
13 | * HiddenElfVillage: White Mountain Village is hidden behind a magic fog to keep the outside world out. |
14 | * HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gao_Changgong Gao Chang Gong]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Wu_of_Northern_Zhou Yuwen Yong]], and many other characters are based on real people. |
15 | * HistoricalUglinessUpdate: Downplayed. The real [[PrettyBoy Gao Chang Gong]] was considered [[UsefulNotes/FourBeautiesOfAncientChina the most beautiful man in China]] during his lifetime (though no contemporary portraits survive). Feng Shao Feng is handsome, but certainly not the most beautiful man in China. |
16 | * VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Gao Chang Gong existed and he really did win battles against Northern Zhou, but it's safe to say there were no priestesses or prophecies involved in his victory. |
17 | * WorthyOpponent: Yuwen Yong sees Gao Chang Gong as this. |
18 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: The Heavenly Maidens have helped emperors take the throne in the past, and the emperors repaid them [[UngratefulBastard by executing them]]. |
