People say there can be no more xianxia after Chinese Paladin. I want to write the kind of xianxia story I've always imagined. The opening may be a little slow, and the full story is made up of several smaller tales.
She was the first clay figure molded by Nuwa, but unlike the other clay figures, she never became human. Burdened by her destiny, she fell asleep in the land where the world was created.
The clay figure had no name. The young Huangdi discovered her and brought her back to his tribe. “Then take my surname, Gongsun. You can choose your own name when you're ready.”
