ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

She Who Became the Sun tells the story of Zhu, a girl who assumes her deceased brother's identity to escape a predetermined fate. Set against the backdrop of the Yuan dynasty's decline, Zhu joins a rebel group, concealing her true identity and lack of martial skills. Navigating political intrigue, warfare, and cultural clashes, Zhu rises in power by exploiting appearances and forging alliances. As Zhu claims her brother's destiny, the story explores themes of identity, ambition, and the subversion of traditional roles, questioning the psychological toll of power and the sacrifices made in its pursuit.
