   Reader note

   Tags: fantasy romance, ancient romance, fairy tale series. This book is the first work in the "Milou Biography" series. On the top of the Milou, the Cangming Fire burned down the three realms. The Lord Ming Yun used the Demon Eye as a contract to kill the Demon Lord Feitian, but he planted the seeds of five hundred years of causal reincarnation. In the Yunlu Mountains, Zhitang, a girl from the Xuluo tribe, stepped on the moon to fly a crane, fell into Jiugao Ze, and formed a life-cutting alliance with Zeqing, a young man from the Longjia tribe. Little did she know that fate had already entangled the two of them. In the Yuelao Temple on the Chinese Valentine's Day, the marriage sign is like a prophecy, Zhitang holds "Only endless love" in her hand, Jinyun's silent sign without words, and Emperor Zhaolin's suffocating obsession will set off what kind of turmoil will set off a prairie fire? Become a Buddha with just one thought, and become a demon with just one thought. Love is like a poisonous blade, and love is like a flower that erodes the heart. In the name of love, I will not regret it even if I die. "The Legend of Milou" weaves an epic of gods and demons with magnificent brushstrokes, and describes all the love and hate in Xumi Mustard Seed. There is the sweet fragrance of fireworks at the festival of begging for cleverness in the mortal world, and there are also bloody prophecies under the life wheel written in clouds and seals; there is the childishness of a girl who is greedy for sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and there is also the determination of the divine king when he cuts off his robe with his sword. If you ask what love is, it is the ice soul in the ashes of the snow, and it is also the last inch of clear light that refuses to let go when the withered vines bite the jade.
