The common public of Equestria became fully aware of the existence of Changelings after the siege on Canterlot unaware that their kind had come into contact with these creatures centuries ago; that they were much more similar than they realized. The Changelings have families that they too love and cherish, homes that many would defend with their lives, and sometimes they face struggles that are out of their control.
They live in multiple different countries in the "Far East" from Equestria, each country having its designated hive as the Changeling capital. Often these countries were conquered centuries before by the Changeling race and they assimilated themselves into the culture with ease, making themselves the dominant species in this region.
Changeling society is purely matriarchal, always ruled by an empress without exception, as a result of their insect-like behavior and biological differences between males and females.

The ancient and extremely powerful Empire of Neighpon is currently ruled by the Morifumu Family, known for their immense—and more often than not despised—influence across a multitude of Changeling-dominated nations and hives, making them among the most powerful monarchs in the world.
A war has broken out within one of their colonies, Thay Đổi (a colony within the country Vietrot), caused by an uprising by a mysterious female Changeling who calls herself Chrysalis. This war will in turn affect the Changelings living there, including the main protagonist of this story, the sixteen-year-old Trần Văn Duy.
Duy has lived in the village of Chuồn Chuồn all of his life, and only very recently has started to realize that his way of life isn’t exactly normal. Why can’t he go outside during noon, when the other villagers are out and about? Why must he keep his head low whenever possible, and does this have anything to do with his father’s estranged relationship with who is supposed to be his uncle, Trần Văn Danh?
