Ashes of Bone China

With the emperor obsessively craving the peerless “celadon glaze,” the Longquan imperial kiln is on the brink of ruin.

Qing Yan, a mute girl blessed with extraordinary talent, can awaken the spirit of the clay with her fingertips. She becomes the kiln’s last hope.

But when the tribute porcelain fails once more, a merciless imperial decree and the shadow of an ancient tale of “human sacrifice” descend upon them.

To save her father, brothers, and the kiln workers, Qing Yan calmly walks into the roaring furnace.

At last, that never-before-seen, dreamlike “celadon” is born. Beneath its pure glaze lies the life of a young girl, frozen in the moment she was sacrificed.

This peerless porcelain is both the dynasty’s treasure and her cold, eternal tombstone.
