A Lifetime of Serenity

The modern-day sequel to A Life of Quiet Joy is now available. Visit the author's page to read it. She was the revered master of Beifa Palace, the greatest sacred ground of cultivation in the land. She had lived a life of detached serenity, never letting desire stir her heart. Who could have guessed that the moment she took in a little disciple, every twist of fate would be thrown into chaos? Nan Yang racked her brain, but could never figure out how teaching her disciple had ended with them in bed. To Qing Huan, her master was her entire world. Nan Yang had given her a second life, and was the only person she would ever cherish. So she was willing to defy both heaven and all human convention, even if it meant dragging Nan Yang down from the clouds and into hell with her. But alas, every bond begins by ending, and every beginning is already empty. This is a love that the world would never accept, yet also one that grows slowly and endures, unforgettable to the bone. From the icebergs of the far north to the martial world in its golden age; from innocent dependence to a love deep and tender. A cup of wine in the spring breeze among peach and plum blossoms; lamps glowing through ten years of rainy nights in the martial world. When the dust has finally settled, may we return hand in hand to the Glory and Decay Pavilion where it all began, and watch the myriad faces of mortal life, as the years wax and wane... The unserious blurb: Actually, this is just a story about a sweet, clueless girl being taken in by an icy, high-and-mighty master, who raises her with great effort until she grows into a mature, doting big sister type. Then she successfully knocks the icy master down, marries her, and they live happily ever after, all lovey-dovey. Only after winning her over does she discover, oh my god, my wife is the sworn enemy who wiped out my entire family! But I still want to hold her hand and watch the flowers bloom and fade, the clouds gather and disperse, and time pass while we enjoy our peaceful days together. What should I do?! Help! Waiting online!! P.S. Let me say it again: this is not xianxia, it's wuxia. Beifa practices the way, not immortal cultivation, and Nan Yang is not an immortal! There are no such things as immortal pills! Those old geezers, apart from living longer than ordinary people, are NO! DIF! FER! ENT! from ordinary martial arts masters! -- Announcement: This novel will go VIP on June 18.
