The Emperor's Phoenix

Chapter 1

YEAR 1337 - Jong Dynasty, Ancient Siam

It is winter, the Han manor was filled with gloom and sadness when the youngest son got an accident, he slipped off the roof filled with snow and hit his head, everyone is busy working to and fro in the entire manor. 

The great General Han Li didn't settle down, he keeps on pacing back and forth while a physician examined his son.

"General, his pulse is stable, I've done an acupuncture medication on him. We will just wait for him to wake up." 

"Thank you Physician Ming." General Li give a small bag of silver coins to the physician.

The physician excuse himself and he turn to go.

HAN Yin, the oldest son comforts his father, he is a deputy general ruling his own set of 20, 000 strong soldiers. 

"He will wake up soon father." 

The Madame of the family, Jung Yoon prepared some porridge for Han Kana, The youngest, hoping he will wake up soon and be better.

Kana stirred in his sleep when he felt his body all in pain. 

He felt like he is being pulled from the dark abyss.

He slowly got up, sitting fully on the bed.

"Madame, the young master is awake." Sheen happily called out when she saw her young master sitting in the bed.

Kana squint his eyes.

Young master?

Him?

Kana look at his surroundings.

He look at his bed, and his clothes. Specially his long soft and flowy hair.

What the fuck is happening?

His confusion was added up when someone of a middle age in a thick clothes obviously for a high rank military entered the room. 

"Kana'er, how are you?" he gaze at his son, and Kana felt comfortable when he saw the concern look on his face. 

Yin came in, and happily he pinch his youngest brother's cheek. 

"I am happy you are awake."

Kana was unaware of what he will say. He didn't absorb anything. He cupped his head. He better sleep back, this might be his dream! 

"My head is aching. Can I sleep again?" he closed his eyes again, unwilling to look at the strange people surrounding him. 

General Li and Yin nodded and let him to rest. 

Kana closes his eyes tightly and a long flashback happens. 

The owner of this body Kana dies when he fell from the roof. 

And then him, the modern Kana lost in time, came here in this body. 

Kana can't accept this. How is this possible? His soul travel back in time? 

Sheen, He remembered her name by the memory of the real Kana, sheis his  personal servant, She stays with him the whole time. 

"Sheen, hand me a mirror." Kana ask in his soft, mellow voice. 

Sheen immediately gave it to  him. 

Kana was mesmerized when he saw his appearance. 

His face is the same, but his body is more of a feminine, his long soft and smooth hair cascading on his back. His white porcelain skin, almost hairless body.

His body on year 2020 is far different in this body. His abs was gone, his perfectly tone muscles as a fruit of his rough training was were also gone! 

So Disheartening! 

"What year now?" he mumbled. 

"Pardon me Master but my education is limited but I think it is year 1337, the lotus festival will be held next week after the winter is gone."

Kana nodded. He now understands. 

He took time to recuperate, until all this events sunk on him. 

He really did time travel after that accident. 

He is back in Ancient Siam, and he realize that whatever he will do, he cant go back.

Only one thing but not sure though. If he dies in this time that he can come back to the future.

Only God knows.

***

The Crown Prince of Jong Dynasty Prince Sunwoo was on the training grounds along with the warriors, he train and fight with them. As the future ruler, he must learn how to wield the sword, use the bow and arrow, and kill without remorse.

He is having a sword match with the soldier when his father's personal servant approached him.

"Your Highness , the His Highness the Emperor had summon you in his study."

Prince Sunwoo put his own royal sword on its sheath that was tied on his waist then he fix his crumpled clothes and he walked to the study, following behind him is a trail of servants.

He is the only Son of the Emperor and the Empress while he had two brothers from the two Imperial consorts, while his father had almost 10 concubines. 

First Imperial Consort Mia is Second Prince Haii's mother.

While second Imperial Consort Pleng was The third Prince Tong's mother.

Prince Sunwoo and Prince Tong get along well, while Prince Haii keeps his distance.

He is high and mighty and he dreamed to be the next EMPEROR.

Prince Sunwoo came in his father's study He bowed down on his father saying his respects.

"Greetings your Majesty."

"You may rise," He cough a bit while he continues his writing.

"You've summon me Father?" Sunwoo asked impatiently.

"I've written an edict regarding your consort selection. The three of you will choose amongst the daughters of the Ministers and Generals to be included on your Harem. Before you ascend my throne." 

Prince Sunwoo, at the age of 20, will soon to be the ruler of this empire and now he will choose his consort and his harem.

He secretly shook his head in disbelief.

But nevertheless, 

He agreed.

So the news of the new IMPERIAL EDICT OF THE EMPEROR, spread like wild fire. 

ANNOUNCING THE YOUNGEST DAUGHTERS OF AGE IN ALL NOBLE HOUSEHOLD WILL JOIN THE CONSORT SELECTION. THE FAMILIES WHO WILL DECLINE WILL RECEIVE A PUNISHMENT BY BEHEADING.

This is a problem for General Han. Much more to Kana, He? From the future? To be a consort?

IMPOSSIBLE. BUT KANA DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE. HIS FAMILY NOW IN THIS ERA WILL BE AT STAKE.

SO HE PREPARED HIMSELF FOR THE WORST TO Come.
