Blurb One: There is another dimension, reflecting the mountains and rivers of the real world: the deep and secluded Wu Gorge, the vast Grand Canal, the boundless Sea of Death in the Gobi Desert, the strange divine capital of Luoyang... It is a place of shifting dangers, beguiling and mysterious, a lair of dragons and tigers, a den of man-eating demons. Yet it is also a treasure trove, filled with miraculous medicines, divine weapons and armor, and things beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Some call this other dimension the Game Zone. Many are obsessed with it and willingly venture inside. Over time, these people have formed four factions: Pioneers, Explorers, Hunters, and Scholars. Six years ago, an accident claimed the lives of Ming Jue's team in the Game Zone. Of the ten-person group, she was the only survivor. Since then, she has fallen from her pedestal as the "Pioneer Flagbearer" and never recovered. For six years, she has languished, passing her days in despair, unable to escape her nightmares. But when the younger sister of a former teammate is in danger, she has no choice but to step into that lost land once more, and reunite with old friends and new. Wang Zhen, the smiling schemer whose beliefs clash with hers; Lord Hou, the Hunter who refuses to share the spotlight; a rival bound to her by old grievances; and a teammate who has returned from the dead. As she journeys on, Ming Jue gradually discovers that there was more to her team's deaths than she knew... Blurb Two: Fu Jianlu: "The past is but a prologue." Ming Jue knew then that this man would become a major chapter in the life she had yet to live. Reader's Guide: 1. A long, plot-driven story with a slow-burn romance. 2. Clean romance, happy ending. Theme: Face hardship without fear, and find the strength to stand again.
