If one rides upon the regularity of Heaven and Earth and controls the six energies, one can wander without limit. What, then, has one to depend on? Free and Easy Wandering The unserious blurb: What happens when a little demoness meets a little devil? They are bound to cause trouble! When big shots stir up trouble, it's the little fry who suffer... At first, though, the "little demoness" Xia Heng looked down on the "little devil" Lu Zhuo, because Lu Zhuo was not only mad, but also had terrible taste! The serious blurb: It all began with a strange incident in the martial world twenty years ago. Lu Yuan, notorious as the "Demon Thief," suddenly seemed to go mad for some reason. He stole the secret manuals of every martial arts sect and killed and wounded many people. The sects were incensed, and surrounded him at Feihong Ridge outside Lin'an. He vanished without a trace, leaving no remains. Twenty years later, a strange young man named Lu Zhuo arrived at Feihong Ridge and, along the way, "kidnapped" Xia Heng of the Jiuzhen Pavilion. Xia Heng and Lu Zhuo hit it off. After learning that Lu Yuan was actually still alive, they set out to find him and uncover the truth behind what happened all those years ago. They repeatedly plunged into danger, turning an already turbulent martial world upside down... A guide for new readers: Updates are usually around 8 a.m. I'll do my best to post daily, but there will be at least five updates a week. The story is set in the early to middle period of the Southern Song dynasty. It will probably be fairly long. This is a traditional romance and wuxia story in a partly fictional setting, so please don't scrutinize the history too closely. The pacing is fairly slow and the story is told from the heroine's point of view, following the lives of many different people. It has both sweet and angsty moments, with a generally lighthearted tone, while still being a serious story about chivalry, the Way, recluses, and the joys and sorrows of love.
