The Legend of Jiuli

The Ninefold Departure tells a legendary tale of chivalrous love spanning the stars.

Jiu Li, a student at a modern Taoist academy, transmigrates to another world and takes over the body of Xiao Jiu, an orphan from Qingluo Village. She bears a mysterious Fortune System. Her thousand-changing beauty can enchant all beings, yet she gives her devoted heart only to Ye Ming. The Heavenly Secrets Treasure Mirror contains the universe within it; an ancient tree spirit and a mushroom immortal become her companions; the Exquisite Pagoda subdues demons and vanquishes monsters; and the Departure Decree opens the Starcloud Realm.

Ye Ming is the personal disciple of the Radiant Immortal Emperor, bears the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, and carries the pain of his sect's destruction. He has lain low for a thousand years, guarding the secret of the Qian Mirror. Even while poisoned, he can talk and laugh as he turns the tables. The sound of his jade flute commands all beasts, while his Heavenly Dao Sword cuts down the traitors in his sect. He comes crashing through the starry river to purge his sect and restore the path to immortality, only to find his destined trial and his light beside a frigid pool.

When the truth behind the massacre of Qingluo Village is revealed and the traitor from the Yukun Sect shows his hideous face, two souls burdened by destiny meet amid twisting conspiracies. They go from testing each other to entrusting their lives to one another, from a secret realm within a mirror to the starfields of the highest heavens. Together, they brave a demon's killing formation and avenge their blood feud. Bound by a mirror pact and surrounded by friends, this perfect pair are bound by love, sincere and true. Across the vast starry river, they write an immortal romance of "an eternal Daoist heart and unyielding righteousness."

The spirit of the martial world, the grandeur of immortal heroes. Here you'll find the flashing blades of sect rivalries, the perilous wonders of ancient secret realms, and the chivalrous resolve to avenge a master's death, as well as a love that endures until death. In the end, lovers are united, and the way of chivalry fills the world.
