The Brocade Calamity: Kindling

A bloodstained painting of “A Hundred Lotuses” and an old, dark teal seal lead to the massacre of the entire family of the Northern Frontier’s God of War fifteen years ago. Embroiderer Xiao Xiu sets out to uncover the truth behind her family’s destruction, joining Pei Qi, a guard of mysterious origins, on a perilous journey north across the snowy wasteland. From Lin’an to Heishui City, from mountain mines to the towering imperial palace, they carry the secret of “Snowbound Green,” powerful enough to overturn the court. Together, they find a way through one desperate predicament after another, staging a shocking appeal to the emperor at the Wumen Lantern Festival, and ultimately clearing the names of the wronged. When the truth comes to light, the shackle called “propriety” shatters. Only then do they realize that their life-and-death quest was also the beginning of their salvation and a new life together.
