The queen of the Tinker Bell Kingdom dreamed that she was pregnant after swallowing the sun. Fourteen months later, she gave birth to a prince. The king and queen liked him very much and named him "Tai Xuan". Taixuan showed his talent at an early age. At the age of ten, he could read all kinds of books and never forgot them.
