    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.

    The novel's male protagonist is a gentle, refined, and powerful emperor. The entire harem is infatuated with him, yet he dotes solely on the female lead. He pursued her for a long time, showering her with affection and pampering; the female lead is so lucky. I love the intimate moments between the male and female leads. So affectionate, so tender. The writing is superb, the logic is clear, a truly well-written and heartfelt story.
