[Historical romance + a little farming + a little fantasy + phoenix]
A phoenix graces the edge of the golden well,
And roosts on a cold branch of the parasol tree.
Wherever a parasol tree grows, a phoenix is sure to appear. In the modern world, Yu Yi studies hard and finally escapes her impoverished, muddy village.
But after dying suddenly from exhaustion, she transmigrates into the body of another girl named Yu Yi, a child living in a village. In her original life, the girl was destined to become the phoenix-born daughter of a prime minister, but a concubine’s household intrigues had brought her down to the mortal world.
One wrong move, and she has to start from scratch.
She draws on her experience of rural life to change her desperate circumstances.
Having a treasure is a crime!
Why is everyone saying that whoever possesses the phoenix will rule the world, and that the Phoenix Rainbow Stone can help someone become immortal?
And why is there a whole immortal realm involved? What are those powerful figures scheming?
Yu Yi is not someone just anyone can control. She decides how to live her own life.
The handsome young man she took in: “I’ll protect you for the rest of your life!”
The young master of the richest family in the country, the Yu family: “Why not become one of the Yu family?”
Nongyu, her companion tree: “May we share one heart!”
Lian Wencai, her companion tree: “I’d willingly fall into demonic ways for you!”
This work draws on and reimagines many traditional stories, including Nüwa Mends the Heavens, The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains, The Scholar and the Flower Demon, Legends of Tea, and Su Xiaoxiao. If readers enjoy it, more stories may be incorporated.
This book is good. It reminds me of the roof ridge made of dried sorghum where I lived when I was a child, and the straw hat I wore when harvesting wheat. It is very simple. The heroine is independent, independent, and broad-minded. She is willing to lead the whole village to get rich.
