    Reader note

    Originally the most powerful demon in the Three Realms, devoid of any compassion, he "accidentally" fell into a space inhabited only by humans. When his soul inhabited the body of the young girl Li Muyan, demonic energy and an ancient jade pendant nurtured the evil spirit (Ye Qianjun) born from her. Humans were as fragile and insignificant as ants, easily annihilated with a breath. Yet, while traveling with the human emperor's entourage, he somehow acquired a "human touch." The demon witnessed the intrigue and complexities of human relationships, and though he disdained them, he repeatedly saved Xuan Ying, who aspired to unify the world, the cold-faced youth Bu Yan, the witty healer Wu Da, and the girl with fox-like eyes... During his three years in the human world, he followed Xuan Ying into the palace, becoming a noble consort. (The demon did not understand human rules, nor did he understand love or romantic feelings. After arriving in the human world, his only actions were to spy on Li Muyan's memories and to gain insight through observation.) The world was amazed by her beauty, calling her an omen of misfortune, but Xuan Ying had already fallen hopelessly in love with this extraordinary woman. During their time together, the inseparable Ye Qianjun noticed that the demon had developed compassion and gradually grew jealous of Xuan Ying, constantly absorbing souls in an attempt to transform into a true human form. However, all of this was not an "accident"; he had already been involved in the scheme ten thousand years ago, or even earlier—meeting Xuan Ying was destined.

    Tags: Fantasy Romance, Ancient Style Romance, Xianxia Series. This book is the first work in the "Legend of Mi Lou" series. At the summit of Mi Lou, the Cangming Fire burns the Three Realms. The Divine Lord Mingyun, using his Demonic Eye as a pact, slays the Demon Lord Feitian, but sows 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, falls into the Jiugao Marsh, where she and the Longjia tribe boy Zeqing form a vow of eternal love, unaware that fate has already bound them together, entangled in an inextricable bond. In the Yue Lao Temple on the Double Seventh Festival, the marriage divination slips are prophetic. Zhitang holds the slip that reads "Only endless longing," while Jinyun's wordless slip remains silent. The suffocating obsession of Emperor Zhaolin—what kind of raging inferno will this 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.
