Since the creation of heaven and earth, countless eons of change have divided the world into six realms: the Human Realm, the Underworld, the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, the Divine Realm, and the Devil Realm. With their War Gods lending them strength, the Underworld and the Immortal Realm are the mightiest, while the Divine Realm is the most mysterious of the six...
[Secret identities + coming-of-age]
Ji Liyue, a young spirit maiden of the Jili Spirit Clan, sneaks away because she longs to visit the human world she has read about in storybooks.
But a spacetime earthquake unexpectedly sends her to the Underworld. There, she meets Gu Xinglei, the Underworld's ruler, and discovers that the elders have sealed her spiritual powers.
To stay alive, she embarks on the path of healing the God of Death and inadvertently awakens her second spiritual root.
After bidding farewell to the Underworld, she begins wandering through the six realms. Along the way, she makes new friends, and her spiritual powers grow through her adventures, until she can finally protect the people she cares about...
(A note about the title: I came up with this story back in middle school, around 2015. The original idea was a domineering, cold-faced Underworld King versus a quirky little goddess, so that's how I named it. But as I began writing, I wanted my first book to focus on a woman's growth, so I made some changes. Unfortunately, the title can't be changed.)
I love Liyue so much! Her independent personality, constantly growing stronger through trials, doesn't rely on the strong because she can become strong on her own. I adore her! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I really love the core of the Liyue Festival; I've always admired resilient and kind girls. Liyue has a complete growth trajectory of its own.
