In a famine-stricken village under Mongol rule, two children are given two fates: greatness for the boy, nothingness for the girl.

When tragedy strikes, it is the girl who survives, assuming her brother’s identity to escape her doomed fate. As Zhu Chongba, she enters a monastery, determined to defy the destiny of nothingness. But when the monastery is destroyed for aiding rebels, Zhu seizes an even greater opportunity—to claim her brother’s foretold greatness.

Driven by relentless ambition, Zhu will stop at nothing to secure the Mandate of Heaven, even as her true identity and ruthless choices threaten to unravel everything.

Will Zhu rise to power or be consumed by the fate she defied?
