    Reader note

    The opening of "The Princess and the Sword Immortal" unfolds like a vast desert landscape. Amidst swirling snow and biting winds, Princess Zhao Jin, accompanied by her maid Bihe, quietly escapes the confines of the palace and plunges into the treacherous world of martial arts. This scene is reminiscent of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's first encounter in the snowstorm of Zhangjiakou. However, Zhao Jin is not as clever and nimble as Huang Rong; her will is resolute, her vision broad, and her noble bearing makes her a hidden gem in this perilous world, drawing the reader's attention. The "Lone Sword Immortal," Xiao Jianqiu, is a renowned figure whose martial arts have reached a pinnacle. With his "Autumn Water Ancient Sword" unsheathed, no one can withstand three moves, leaving all heroes helpless. He is aloof and elusive, yet not heartless. The princess and the sword immortal, one noble, one reclusive; one passionate, one cold, their fates intertwined in this harsh winter, inevitably leading to a momentous upheaval. The story is ingeniously plotted from the outset, with vividly portrayed characters, suspenseful twists and turns, and hidden dangers amidst the snow and wind, making it a truly captivating masterpiece.

    Young men and women roam the martial world, wielding a sword to open the gates of heaven, slaying a martial saint with a single palm strike. Winter. Lingering snow. Her sword is moonlight. Her poison is honey. Her name is a secret. Purple robes, swift as lightning. Her person, poetic as a poem. The world only knows Princess Jinning, Zhao Qingli, a living portrait of a court lady in the deep palace. But they do not know that she is also the only successor of the Sword God, a once-in-a-century genius of the Tang Clan. Her sword is named "Purple Lightning." When the sword is drawn, it is like a fleeting shadow. No one in the world can withstand three moves from her. Because those who have witnessed the third move have all become speechless corpses. Her palm is named "Soul Chaser." Her fingers are named "Wind Slicer." Chu Yueyao and Wen Yunshu are not maids, but two deadly shadows. Three women, a winter game.
