Storyline
The narrative unfolds in the waning years of the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Kingdom of Ng has just defeated its old enemy, the Kingdom of Yue.

Amid ongoing battles, FuChai encounters allies and foes who must choose between loyalty to the nation and personal affection, creating a tension between love and hate that drives the visual‑novel’s branching paths.

Characters
Four main characters can be pursued: XiShi, a gentle medic mistaken for a maiden; GouJian, the proud former king of Yue turned slave; Wu ZiXu, a wary Chu exile tasked with breaking the sacred vow; and Chen Feng, FuChai’s loyal bodyguard with a sweet‑tooth. Each is introduced with age, background, and a light‑hearted “on a less serious note” detail.
Their personalities range from arrogant to calm, providing varied romantic routes. The descriptions emphasize personal traits rather than gameplay abilities.

As a visual novel, the game presents dialogue choices that affect relationships with the four suitors. Players progress through story segments by selecting responses, leading to different romantic outcomes. No combat or resource systems are mentioned; the focus remains on narrative and character interaction.

Visual Style
The artwork depicts historical Chinese fashion and settings, though the developers note it is purely aesthetic and not historically accurate. Spirits, ghosts, and gods appear as part of legend‑based folklore. The game runs in a 4:3 aspect ratio, despite widescreen images used for Steam promotion.
