Lady Zhen

Lady Zhen is a Mage hero in Honor of Kings.

Background[]

What Lady Zhen thought was love was just a deception; an illusion that made her lose her true self and live an unhappy life. As an inheritor of the water sacrificial rites, she grew up in absolute obedience to her family's teachings and was denied her desires. That was why, when a member of the Cao family professed his sincere love for her, the intensity of her love led her to betray her own family. When it all came to naught, the rain and her tears would define her grief—and her strength.

Lore[]

Lady Zhen was a great beauty, renowned across the continent for her gentleness and benevolence. Born into a noble family, she carried the bloodline of an ancient sage, for which everyone in Primaera revered her. From a young age, she was raised to shoulder her responsibilities, restrain her desires, and toil selflessly to purify the world of corruption.

But after eighteen years of perseverance, all her cautious discretion was shattered upon meeting that man. His youthful face, bold and fearless action, his intense ambition, his heart-stopping honeyed words—They all left her head spinning.

"The meaning of my life has only been to meet you."

"May the lady accept my praise: You are as beautiful as the moonlit clouds, as charming as the drifting snow."

"Graceful as a startled swan, and kind as a benevolent spirit."

Lady Zhen's heart, as placid as the surface of a calm lake, rippled for the first time with the desire to break free from the shackles of her identity. For once, she wanted to take hold of her own destiny.

Though it caused her great hardship, she eventually abandoned her family, her fate, and her nobility. She had finally fulfilled her desire: to marry into the Cao family, which was rising rapidly in power.

However, the man who stood before her on their wedding night was familiar yet not at the same time. While he had once been an affectionate partner, now it was as if he had two faces—one a dashing young gentleman, and the other a savagely ambitious heir.

Lady Zhen realized that she had fallen into a trap: The Cao clan had sought her not for her beauty, but for the power she had inherited through her bloodline.

Her epiphany had come too late. She was already embroiled in ambition, conspiracy, and the chaos of war. She had no choice but to go with the flow.

"You can't understand the pain of having no control over your life."
