A concubine-born daughter forced to marry into the mountains × an ancient mountain god who guards the divine realm
Carrying nothing but despair, Jiang Si enters Beiman, only to stumble into a fantastical world of mountains and seas:
Moon-howlers cry beneath the moon, huan beasts ward off evil, the Wangchuan Pool connects to the netherworld, and Mount Qingyao conceals countless treasures.
Her newlywed husband is a cold, otherworldly deity with silver eyes and ink-black hair. For three thousand years, he has kept his distance from all human feeling, yet he secretly warms her bed and gives her spiritual fruit.
He is a prisoner bound by his divine duties. She is a mountain-speaker who can break the shackles on the earth's ley lines.
They go from wariness and testing each other to sharing life and death, from spouses in name only to soulmates.
When the imperial court seeks to seize his divinity and evil spirits threaten to destroy the divine realm, she commands a hundred beasts and wields the mountains and rivers, standing with him to defend these eight hundred miles of desolate wilderness.
