In the vast sea of golden sand burning under the fiery glaze of the sun, a land devastated by war and was neglected by the ones who won the war afterwards, a small group of people were standing outside a tent waiting for their revered Lady Hur to appear. She is said to be the harbinger of good luck and she's been involving in the relief works in their kingdom destroyed by war.
Inside that moderately large tent, a woman was tying her waist long jet black hair to a simple bun with her beautiful, slender fingers that were calloused completely inconsistent with her flawless beauty that would make anyone fall for her instantly, when her maid by her side felt bad for letting her lady do all the work by herself. She never understood why her lady is not treating her like a maid.
"Milady! You always forget I'm a maid! ", the little chubby girl who was just eighteen that year pouted her red soft lips. Her chubby cheeks were blushed by the heat seeping in and her hands tried to grab the comb.
"And Xiao Mei always forgets I'm not a lady", her mistress spoke in her husky voice and the golden eyes reflected on the mirror in front of her was filled with mirth that made Xiao Mei pout some more.
"Milady!", she whined as her mistress chuckled sweetly at the childish one in front of her and pinched her cheek after she fixed her bun with a simple jade hairpin. Except for the jade bracelet she wears occasionally and the ring she wore always, she didn't have a single piece of jewellery on her.
"Get me the veil", she asked her and Xiao Mei gave her the soft black silk scarf that she tied around her hair and also covered her face leaving only her eyes visible. The harsh sun didn't suit her pearl white skin and she followed the tradition of the natives of this place and covered herself whenever she went out.
In a moment, her alluring face was covered as she fixed her simple looking yet expensive crimson robes meant for men but with the exquisite curves in her body apparent, no one were left to misunderstand her as a man. She just felt more comfortable in men's clothes especially in this weather.
"Lady Hur"
The people of the village greeted her as she came out of the tent.
"We all are waiting for you to choose the place we should dig for the well, Lady Hur. Please...!", the elder in the group lead the one they exalted as a fortunate one.
"Lady Hur helped the Aram village last week to find water. My cousin who lives there told me that. She is helping out people to get back on our feet. I'm glad!"
"Yeah! With the ones who live in palaces starting the war only us poor people suffer the consequences. It's people like Lady Hur who should be respected. Not those monarchs..."
"Damn the Wind Kingdom who started the war! If not for them..."
"Shh! Stop spouting nonsense! ", the entire posse suppressed the one youngster who started to diss the wind Kingdom and the elder advised the young blood who is quick to jump to conclusions and speak his thoughts without filtering,
"Who knows what happened in those screwed up minds of the nobles in the big palaces for this war to be started. Ever since the death of Marvan Arsalan, our kingdom started to deteriorate. The Wind Kingdom never cared for us until Jubin Arsalan needlessly attacked them for a woman! So don't speak about what you don't know. Lady Hur doesn't like gossips", he spoke in a gentle but a rebuking tone to advise this youngster.
The young lad accepted the advice of the elder and even apologised for his remarks. Xing who was walking in the front could hear their talks. Honestly she didn't know why this war started either.
A year after she left the capital city, there were some news about the tense situations around the southern borders and that lead to some low level battles between the two Kingdoms. As far as she heard, the peace negotiations failed that led to a full blown war a year later.
The Sky army was lead by Banu Arsalan the elder daughter and big sister of Maya as she bought a personalised army from a distant island kingdom and the Zhong army was the only army fought on the Wind Kingdom's side. There were many casualties on both side and only when Maya or Huang LiMing as she is called now took charge of the Zhong army, did the biggest battle end with the one on one match between the sisters and Maya defeating her sister and her sister killed herself in front of her.
Xing witnessed that battle! Seiren watched his wife fighting his sister carrying their son in his hands. That boy really looked like the Oldman with his tanned skin and big physique that made her really happy.
Xing could understand up till this battle but the war didn't end with that when the Imperial Army broke through and went on conquering the Sky Kingdom city by city laying waste to the path they travelled till they captured the capital city and overthrew their Emperor.

The Earth Kingdom joined in the frenzy bulldozing the small villages and Xing who was in the East at that time could not bear to watch this unnecessary war. So she came to the Sky Kingdom and started helping around the destroyed villages. Money was something she had in abundance and so she helped them.
The Imperial army of the Wind Kingdom retreated after the Sky Emperor was defeated not even appointing an interim governor for this newly conquered kingdom, followed by the Earth Army.
Confusing as it all was, Xing didn't bother to learn the reasons but continued to stay here and help the people of the Sky Kingdom rebuild their destroyed villages. She's been wandering in these deserts for the past year without even retuning back to the Wind Kingdom and helping these people and these people started calling her 'Lady Hur' since she refused to tell them her name.
Hur means 'Fair; Black-haired Women; Sun; Fortune'.
Since it fit her, she let them address her as such. She was revered as Lord Táng previously in her kingdom and as Lady Hur in another kingdom and she was fine with that!
She found Xiao Mei from a brothel and learnt that she was abducted from the tribes in the wilderness when she was young and was sold to the brothel in the sky Kingdom and Xing paid for her and brought her along with her since she refused to leave her side.
Xing pointed at a place that would be easily accessible to everyone in the village to dig for water and the people started digging exactly where she pointed.
After that incident three years back, she avoided meeting any gods. Fei Lian tried to contact her many times and Mazu also tried to apologise but Xing just didn't have the mood to communicate with them. The moment they tried to split her and her prince they are all dead to her. That's what she thought.
But Mazu kept on following her and she does it still. Whenever Xing finds a pond or spring while travelling the water will always be at the perfect temperature for soaking. Xing tried to avoid her gestures of apology for a while but then she started to embrace what she was given. Just because she accepts Mazu's gesture, doesn't mean she is forgiving her and it was actually helping her in times of need.
Why refuse something extremely useful for oneself just for the sake of refusing, right? Pride doesn't bring comfort!
Also she found that there will be water sources where ever she wanted it to be and that helped a lot for the villagers to get good water that is mandatory for their survival.
So as long as Mazu's guilt helps her, Xing decided to utilise it.
