This novel tells the life story of Li Qingzhao, a celebrated woman poet of the ages. Follow her as she faces several crucial turning points in her fate and decides between love and hate.

[Blurb]

File for divorce and take her husband to court? That woman who defied society's expectations was her.

Drink cup after cup of wine and win every bet. That woman who embraced life's pleasures was her.

Criticize the literati and write works on ci poetry. Challenge Su Dongpo and Ouyang Xiu. That was her.

She was Li Qingzhao, an extraordinary woman of her age, overflowing with talent and feeling.

Born into a family of scholars, she found the most beautiful love, and her poetry was fresh, vivid, and moving. That was the first half of her life.

Then came a turbulent era, a life of displacement, her country destroyed and her family lost, with her fate out of her hands. Her poetry grew sorrowful and tortuous, wounding both heart and mind. That was the second half of her life.

Qingzhao was like a lotus: frank and passionate in bloom, graceful and unyielding as it drifted away.

Qingzhao kept searching, staying true to herself through life's hardships. The song of Yian would live forever.

Qingzhao refused to devote herself to serving a husband and raising children. Watch her brilliant talent shine across the literary world, worthy of the splendor of the Song Dynasty.
