Linjiang Xian: The Chronicle of Crimson Ash and Frosted Radiance

The Record of Red Ash and Frosted Splendor centers on the fated entanglement of two primordial twin spirits, unfolding as a fantastical, tragic epic of love and hate across three hundred years of reincarnation. As a stand-in bride, Li Qingyue repeatedly tries to kill Bai JiusI, sect master of the Pure Cloud Sect, with a Coldscale Dagger. Each blood-red wedding plays out again in the rifts in time and space between the icebound wedding hall and the lava-lit Valley of Weeping Flames. Carrying the hatred of the Red Flame Incantation, she pursues the truth through reincarnation. It is the heart-piercing pain of Bai JiusI sealing her magic and causing their young son Shi An to die before his time. Yet when the Frostheart Mirror reveals fragments of the truth, and the leather-carved flower burns blood-red patterns into their love and hate, she finally realizes that the three-hundred-year cycle of killing her husband is a scheme by the Demon Lord Xiao Jingshan, who used Shi An’s bones to refine the Sea of Grief. Beneath Bai JiusI’s frostbound heart lie the wound of having his heart carved out in place of someone sentenced to heavenly punishment, and his unwavering resolve to protect. The essence of the twin gods is torn apart and bound together in a destiny of “red flames that burn the soul, frost and snow that pierce the bones.” From retracing memories in the Cave of Illusory Reflections to the sacrifice of flesh and blood beneath the Boundless Stele, their love and hatred shatter before the Gate of Lies forged by the Primordial Father God. Twin flowers of the other shore bloom in soil nourished by divine blood, finally melting three hundred years of resentment and obsession into a new law of the world where their love becomes one.
