Crossing Three Thousand Illusions

In a corner of Zhuque Avenue lies Three Thousand Crossings of Splendor, said to be the most mysterious place in the capital.

Rumors abound. Everyone says its proprietress is peerlessly beautiful and unmatched in grace, and that even the most tangled, thorny problems become easy to resolve in her hands.

They also say she possesses unfathomable powers, able to guide ordinary mortals through the world and ferry wronged souls who died unjustly onward. Her fame has spread through streets and alleys far and wide.

At a teahouse, someone jokes that her methods are truly exceptional: even a deeply devoted marriage can be cut cleanly in two, granting both parties the freedom to part ways.

Hearing all the different rumors, Shi Yao smiles faintly and admits they are true.

But in the end, the world has glimpsed only the tip of the iceberg. No one truly knows what she can do.

Guiding people and ghosts onward is merely child's play. Even the exalted immortals above the Ninth Heaven are within her power to shake and send on their way.

She bears the bloodline of the ancient Nine-Headed Infant, and has the protection of the Great Emperor Beiyin of the Underworld. Yet Heaven's schemes close in, while old grudges from a thousand years ago continue to haunt her.

With turmoil rising along the road ahead, Shi Yao vows to use her own power to shake the balance of the Three Realms and drag those arrogant immortals from their illusory altars.

Her heart is set on the boundless upheaval ahead, and she never looks back.

Little does she know that, through the long years, someone has crossed mountains and seas, journeying for thousands of years to follow her faithfully without ever leaving her side.

Their fates are entwined and the turmoil shows no sign of ending. After enduring countless trials across countless lifetimes, will she finally see the one who has crossed millennia and stayed true, waiting to stand by her forever?
