Suo Yao = Su Yao, Lin Yu = Lin Yu.
Suo Yao awoke with a start and found herself hurled from the star charts and ancient books in the Grand Astrologer’s residence into the bizarre, primeval world of The Classic of Mountains and Seas! Man-eating xieju, monstrous beasts on the rampage, indifferent gods: every inch of this land was rife with deadly dangers and ancient laws.
The stern God of Autumn, Lin Yu, wielded the power of punishment and death. He saw her as an anomaly disrupting the order of things. His golden eyes held nothing but frost and warning. “This is not your world. You must return.”
The gentle and refined Lord of Qingqiu, the fox spirit Song Bojian, reached out to help her, his smile so warm it could melt ice. “Do not be afraid, miss. I will keep you safe.”
Suo Yao thought she had found someone to rely on, unaware that she had already fallen into a scheme that used heaven and earth as a chessboard and divine souls as its stakes.
Behind every tender gesture lay careful exploitation; beneath every act of protection lurked an inescapable destiny. When the ancient conspiracy came to light and trust shattered completely, she finally learned that she was, in fact, the most crucial offering in the sacrifice…
“If this primordial world has no place for me, then I’ll offer my soul to the stars and sacrifice the Mountains and Seas!”
