Different Paths (GL)

The Puliang Kingdom is home to a secretive clan known as the Snow Women. This mysterious people have lived for generations in the forbidden snowy wilderness on the border between the Puliang and Dadu Kingdoms. Born into a land of bitter frost where neither humans nor beasts can be found, they possess extraordinary gifts. Those gifted with innate spiritual power can communicate with the spirits of all things and seize their souls. Feared by the world, they are called "spirit demons."

Eighteen years ago, Cang Xi, the clan leader of the Snow Women, was caught up in the chaos and fell into dire straits in a Dadu military camp. Hiding her identity under the name Zi Yuan, she had a daughter with Yu Feng, a Dadu general who led an expedition. Cang Xi later died of illness, leaving behind a daughter named Yu Yiyan.

With war against Puliang raging without end, Yu Feng entrusted Yu Yiyan to the Qu family to shore up the army's morale. But the Qu family was wiped out by the Puliang people. Yu Yiyan was fortunate enough to be rescued by Xiao Yao, and went into hiding among the martial world.

Twelve years later, Yu Yiyan returned to the Yu household. By a twist of fate, she married Jiang Xuan, ruler of Dadu, yet found herself helplessly falling in love with Jiang Lingyun, the eldest princess of Dadu...

As the truth of her origins is gradually revealed, the wheel of fate has already begun to turn. What path will Yu Yiyan take...

If I pull it off, this story will be about palace intrigue, the martial world, religion, and the fate of the realm. If I don't, it'll be nothing but melodrama.
