A Leisurely Stroll Through the Courtyard

[Complete, pending polishing.]

In the twenty-ninth year of Xiaoqian, the land remains in chaos.

At sixteen, Li Chao said goodbye to her family in the bamboo grove and entered the martial world. For three years, she traveled far and wide, intent on finding her master's whereabouts. Instead, she found "the Mandate of Heaven" and a labyrinth of schemes, each wrapped around the next.

The Mandate of Heaven cannot be defied. The labyrinth is deep and perilous.

The guiding lamp went out, and the road ahead was strewn with bones. She wandered in confusion, not knowing where the path would end. The farther she went, the more helpless she felt, until...

Until a snowflake fell gently into her palm. Her confusion vanished in an instant. Beneath the warm sun stood a woman as pure as the first snow, smiling as she held out her hand.

Li Chao's nose stung. She rushed over and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear:

"Miss Jun, you are the light that guides me."

A sweet, loyal little sunshine who is silly in everyday life x a cool, graceful immortal who is softhearted and gentle (they dote on each other)

P.S. Ensemble cast, happy ending, slow pace, light fantasy, alternate history. It covers both the martial world and the imperial court, with the main plot focused on bringing peace to a chaotic realm. Before the Snowy Mountain arc, the focus is mainly on the plot. After that, plot and romance share the spotlight, with the balance varying by arc. There are many secondary couples, and the story also features plenty of girls' love. There are quite a few male supporting characters, but they are mainly part of the plot and won't be involved in romantic storylines, so don't worry. Finally, if you don't like angst, please don't mistake the senior sister and junior sister for a couple!

Theme: Amid the martial world's grudges and tangled conspiracies, should those bearing Heaven's mandate follow the greater good or their own hearts in a time of chaos?
