I am a peach tree.
It's not an ordinary peach tree, it's a peach stone left on earth during the peach feast in heaven. It fell on Nanshan, took root for three hundred years, and took shape for one hundred years.
I originally thought that I was born with immortality and was only one step away from ascending to heaven.
Until a woman in wedding clothes died under my tree.
Her name is Shen Zhaoxue, and she is the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
She was supposed to get married to Lingnan in a glamorous manner, but she was ambushed on the way to the wedding, and all 137 people in her escorting team were wiped out. She fled into my peach forest with the soul-breaking arrow. Before she died, she soaked my roots with blood and entangled a lifeline into my soul.
From that moment on, I had her face, her wedding dress, and her lingering resentment.
She asked me to return to Beijing for her.
I don't want to.
But if I don't untie this life connection, my path to immortality will be cut off and my body will wither.
Thus, a peach blossom demon who had lived for four hundred years and never cared about the rights and wrongs of the world walked into the deep residence of the Hou Mansion for the first time.
I thought what I wanted to find out was just the truth about the murder of a legitimate daughter by her stepmother.
But at the end of my investigation, I discovered that Shen Zhaoxue's death was just the first drop of blood on the iceberg.

Peach Blossoms Shine on the Snow is a fairy-demon power plot with a very lingering flavor. The story begins with the peach blossom demon Tao Yao being killed by the blood of a dead man. Along the way, it leads to layers of truths such as the old case of the Hou Mansion, the royal family's child exchange, the abandoned baby well, the false dragon vein of the Imperial Prefecture, etc., With a strong sense of suspense and fate. The most touching thing is that it does not write "becoming an immortal" as escaping from the world, but letting Taoyao choose to stay after seeing the pain of the wronged soul, name and living person. Shen Zhaoxue's death, Shen Mingzhu's sobriety, and Xie Wujiu's company all make this story not just a revenge story, but more like an eternal festival to light a lamp for the unknown. The ending is peach blossoms shining on the snow, gentle and powerful.
It has more stamina than I first imagined. I originally thought it was just a setting of the Peach Blossom Demon investigating the case for the dead, but the further we go, the bigger the story becomes. From the murder case in the Hou Mansion to the royal family's child exchange, the abandoned infant well, and the pseudo-dragon vein of the Imperial Master's Mansion, it feels like catching up as the layers are revealed.
What I like most is the growth line of the heroine Taoyao. She was actually very "demon" at first, naive, afraid of trouble, and just wanted to get rid of her lifeline and continue practicing. But then she saw too many people whose names had been erased, and she slowly changed from a bystander to a person who was willing to get involved. In the end, she did not choose to ascend and leave, but planted the opportunity to become an immortal back to Nanshan, which really poked me.
The characters are not thin tool men either. Although Shen Zhaoxue died at the beginning of the story, she has a strong sense of presence. She is not a simple innocent ghost like Bai Yueguang, but the starting point and wound of the entire story. Shen Mingzhu's plot is also very interesting. She did not indulge in regaining her identity, but chose to clear the case, erect a monument, and return her name. The pattern suddenly opened up. The relationship between Xie Wujiu and Tao Yao is not overwhelming, but it is smooth and flowing, and the marriage letter in the extra chapter has a special aftertaste.
The overall style is a fusion of suspense, intrigue, fairy monsters and female growth. It has a sense of investigation in the early stage, a reversal in the middle stage, and a grand trial and group portraits in the later stage. It is not just a refreshing article, it contains many expressions about "names", "remembering" and "justice". After reading it, you will feel gentle and heavy. It is very suitable for readers who like ancient suspense, fairy settings, a sense of fate and group portrait redemption.
