In this vivid, action-packed story, Miu Miu and her betrothed make a valiant but unsuccessful attempt to assassinate the wicked emperor who killed her father. After they escape, thanks in part to their martial arts training and her father's magical sword, Miu Miu decides--satisfyingly--to reject her desire for revenge and look to the future instead.
