A classic tale of political intrigue, as acclaimed as Nirvana in Fire and The King's Woman, and highly recommended by Xian Cheng, Qing Mei, Ye Fan, and Yun Shangwei! A breathtaking struggle for power, rife with deadly schemes; a passionate romance in which a tender-hearted warrior gives up everything for love; and the bonds of honor and loyalty among the martial world’s free spirits all come together in a spectacular, world-shaking epic! Once, Lili thought that a lonely, helpless life spent drifting without a place to call home was simply the fate she had been born to endure. The Book of the Son of Heaven brought about her parents’ deaths and the ruin of her family, while powerful factions coveted its secrets. She had no choice but to hide her identity, disappear into the bustling city, and joke and banter her way toward a few moments of peace. If Qi Fengxiang was a dangerous red spider lily, someone she kept at a distance, then Jiang Qiudi was a ray of sunlight on a bitter winter’s day, warming her lonely heart. All the hardships of the world fade away, but love and desire sink deep into the bones. Yet in these turbulent times, how can anyone hope for peace? They must fight their way through every thorn and obstacle to hold on to a lifetime of peace together.
