She Who Became the Sun

Will she be able to outwit fate and soar to the heights of her dreams?

In a starving village drowning in the yellow dust of the Central Plains, a seer tells two children their fate. The boy is destined for greatness. The girl is destined for nothingness.

The year is 1345, China is suffering under the cruel rule of the Mongols. The hungry peasants have only heard of great people in legends. How will one of them, Ju Chongba, manage to achieve greatness? The early death of his sister, even if she is smart and resourceful, will not surprise anyone.

But when the children are attacked by bandits, it is the boy who dies. Instead, the girl desperately wants to survive, so, pretending to be her brother, she goes to a monastery. There, Ju realizes that she is ready to go to great lengths to escape her fate. When her shelter is destroyed, she finds herself again in a world where war rages. There is only one way to rewrite her ending: to encroach on the greatness destined for her brother and appropriate his fate…

A deep and at the same time fascinating story about a desperate struggle for life, about death and love, betrayal and loyalty, about searching for oneself and understanding the essence of the concept of “fate” awaits you.
