After Chang Gui found her late mother's notes among the novels Aunt Seven had collected, she couldn't stop thinking about going to the Snow Plains and uncovering the secret of the pocket watch her mother had left her.
But the unbreachable gale stopped her with ease, keeping her on the mountain, until a visitor from beyond the snowy horizon brought new hope.
The Snow Plains are a legendary place, unreachable to anyone who isn't a legend themselves. They say the world's greatest swordsman lives there, along with an eccentric miracle doctor, a tycoon sitting on a mountain of gold, and a psychic who drives beast tamers wild...
One group after another, all consumed by greed and ambition, fell before the violent gales and the smooth, sheer cliffs that reached the heavens. That is, until a rare golden roc, fiercely protective of its master, carried him to the Snow Plains despite his terminal illness and poison-ravaged body.
Chang Gui once asked Bai Lianze, "If you could turn back time, what moment would you return to?"
With the mountains crumbling before him and the sky about to collapse, Bai Lianze still smiled. "This very moment, to sleep beside you."
