    Tags: Fantasy Romance, Ancient Style Romance, Xianxia Series. This book is the first work in the *Mi Lou Zhuan* series. At the summit of Mi Lou, the Cangming Fire scorched the Three Realms. The Divine Lord Mingyun, using his Demonic Eye as a pact, slew the Demon Lord Feitian, but planted the seeds of five hundred years of karmic reincarnation. In the Yunlu Mountains, the Xuluo tribe girl Zhitang, riding the moon and releasing a crane, fell into the Jiugao Marsh, where she and the Longjia tribe boy Zeqing made a vow of eternal love, unaware that fate had already bound them together, entangled in an inextricable bond. In the Yue Lao Temple on the Double Seventh Festival, the marriage divination slips proved prophetic. Zhitang held the slip that read "Only endless longing," while Jinyun's wordless slip remained silent. The suffocating obsession of Emperor Zhaolin—what kind of raging inferno would it unleash? One thought leads to Buddhahood, another to demonic damnation. Love is like a poisoned blade, passion like a heart-corroding flower. Bearing the name of love, even death is not an option. "The Legend of Mi Lou" weaves an epic tale of gods and demons with magnificent strokes, depicting the vast world of love and hate within a tiny space. It contains the sweet fragrance of fireworks during the Qixi Festival in the mortal realm, as well as the blood-red prophecies beneath the celestial wheel of fate; the innocent naivety of a young girl's craving for osmanthus cake, and the resolute determination of a divine lord wielding his sword and tearing his robe. If you ask what love is—it is the icy essence of snow returning to dust, and the last inch of clear light that refuses to let go when withered vines gnaw at jade.

    A goddess, by a single misstep, fell into the mortal realm, undergoing trials and rebirths. From a celestial goddess of the stars and moon high above, to a princess of a fallen kingdom, and then to a concubine's daughter in a secluded mansion, she traversed two lifetimes, finally understanding: all beings suffer, and compassion is not something viewed from the clouds, but rather the willingness to reach out to those behind you after falling into the mud and rising again. There is intrigue within the mansion, battles between celestial sects, entanglements of love and hate, and an unresolved destiny from ten thousand years ago.
