A Dream of Xiaoxiang in the Cold Autumn

The blue clouds rise from the peaks, her brows knit with sorrow; her rouge-tinted lips breathe fragrance.

Her delicate fingers work at embroidery. What can ease her troubled heart, still brooding over last night’s worries?

A crane’s shadow crosses the cold pond and embroidered curtains; withered lotus leaves shelter beneath the pattering rain.

The evening clouds pity the spring catkins. Her heart overflows with unspoken thoughts, which turn to tears and stream from her eyes.

There is a beauty called pure as jade and clear as ice; a bearing called aloof from worldly dust.

There is a talent called standing alone, proud above the world; a splendor called the phoenix’s arrival.

There is a kindred spirit called high mountains and flowing water; a love called faithful unto death.

She is the Crimson Pearl Fairy descended from heaven, breathtaking and otherworldly, ethereal and graceful, gifted beyond compare.

He is the true dragon emperor reborn, steeped in literary elegance, handsome and refined, skilled in both letters and arms.

When the fairy meets the emperor, what timeless tale will unfold, and what legend will be passed down for ages?

Taking advantage of this new story’s platform, I’d also like to promote some of my other works:

Complete Red Chamber VIP novel, Red Shadows and Dai’s Grace beneath the Xiaoxiang Moon: http://read.xxsy.net/info/153284.html (See how the younger sister, returning from her studies at the Great Desolate Mountain, makes her life even better!)

Ongoing serious drama, The World Belongs to the Song: http://read.xxsy.net/info/185102.html (Yu really likes this story, though it seems readers don’t. Sigh...)

Complete public Red Chamber novel, I Am Yingchun after Transmigrating into the Red Chamber: http://read.xxsy.net/info/129501.html (Yu’s first online novel. The writing is still rather rough, but I think the plot is pretty good. If you haven’t read it, do give it a try.)

Highly recommended: my dear Zhuzhu’s new Red Chamber novel, A Dream that Shatters the Red Chamber: Cloud’s Lament

Link: http://read.xxsy.net/info/217823.html

(This story begins in the realm of fantasy, painting a sweeping portrait of the Qing Dynasty. Love and hate, passion and vengeance, life and death: watch the clouds drift and the flowers bloom and fade. Where will Daiyu and Xiangyun find love?

This is a tangled romance between Daiyu and Xiangyun and the Qing emperor’s sons and daughters. Xiangyun, who has transmigrated here; the graceful, beautiful Daiyu; the worldly, shrewd Baochai; the sharp-edged Tanchun; the socially adept Fengjie; and the wise, unassuming Li Wan... Each has her own beauty and hardships. See what kind of youthful years and moving stories Zhuzhu has in store for them.)
