What is the Crimson Lion Talisman in Daughter of the Moon Goddess?

The Crimson Lion Talisman is a powerful artifact that Xingyin believes she can use to bargain for her mother Chang'e's freedom from imprisonment on the moon. To earn this talisman, Xingyin joins the Celestial Army and requests the flexibility to choose her own missions, bypassing typical military hierarchy. Her quest for the talisman drives her to work undercover while honing her archery skills inherited from her father Houyi.

A Daughter's Secret Under Celestial Moonlight

00:00

Imagine living your entire existence in secret, hidden away on the moon. This is Xingyin's reality-daughter of Chang'e, the legendary Chinese moon goddess. Her peaceful if isolated life in a palace of white stone and mother-of-pearl is filled with music lessons and the gentle company of her mother and their attendant Ping'er. But questions linger in the shadows-why does her mother gaze so longingly at the mortal world each night? Why does such profound sadness haunt her eyes? The truth finally emerges on Xingyin's fifteenth birthday when she discovers that her father was Houyi, the legendary archer who saved the world by shooting down nine sunbirds. Years later, when the terrifying Celestial Empress arrives at their lunar home, Xingyin learns the full story: her mother took the Elixir of Immortality to save them both during childbirth, and the emperor, furious that Chang'e rather than the heroic Houyi became immortal, punished her with eternal exile to the moon. Now that the empress has sensed Xingyin's growing powers, she can no longer remain hidden. With her identity a dangerous secret, Xingyin must flee the only home she's ever known.
