Alas, Penglai Is Ten Thousand Miles Away

[A Cast of Villains + Fast-Paced + Long-Laid Plans + Many Male Suitors + Extreme Angst]

For the three years Huo Qi was married to Tu Bailing, Tu Baiping spent those same three years as his hidden mistress, never allowed to see the light of day.

Huo Qi once swore to heaven, even cutting off his hair as an oath, that he would never abandon Tu Baiping, even if the Avici Hell opened or a flood swallowed the world.

Yet now Tu Baiping is the most notorious fallen woman in all of Kyoto.

The new top scholar, Jia Dao, is a man of both letters and arms, with outstanding virtue and talent and a graceful, untroubled air. He is the foremost catch among Kyoto's great families, all eager to secure a new graduate as a son-in-law.

Who would have thought he would become attached to Kyoto's disgraced fallen woman?

Was it love at first sight, destined to last forever, or was he hiding ulterior motives?

And what of Tu Lingjun, who hides his feelings and silently protects her? Is his love truly without reservation?

Could the blind Fourth Prince, whose deep love is doomed to end in tragedy, be her final destination?

Or perhaps none of them! She will carve out a path the world has never seen before! She will build a Great Wall with blood and tears, leave the land strewn with corpses, and crush millions beneath her feet!

...When the dust settles, who will be the final stop on her journey?
