Little Princess Lianxing

This is a healing fairy tale for adults, a celestial parable of spiritual awakening.

In the mortal world, everyone grows in the mire and walks alone through wind and rain. The heroine was once a jade-green auspicious phoenix and a Ziwei lotus star who fell into the human realm. In her previous life, she dwelled high upon a lotus throne in the celestial river, blessed with perfect spiritual power. But as she descended into the mortal world to cultivate through lifetimes, human suffering and worldly constraints bound her layer upon layer. Her light concealed, she endured half a lifetime of ups and downs and hardship.

Only when starlight rained into the pond and the celestial river returned to its place did the auspicious phoenix, asleep for a thousand years, awaken and be reborn in the moonlit lotus pond.

Two stars bound by fate shine upon each other from afar. The elegant Azure Ice Dragon guards her, while the Radiant Gold Sacred Dragon accompanies her with warmth and tenderness. One phoenix and two dragons, with the celestial river as witness, begin a bond of destiny spanning reincarnation.

Lotus-scented breezes soothe the heart, and starlight heals the past. Every muddy trial, every injustice endured, every lonely road traveled becomes the strength and glory of awakening.

Using the lotus as a metaphor for the heart, the phoenix for the woman, and the dragons for those who protect her, this book tells of a woman's journey of self-redemption, breaking through adversity, being reborn, and finding wholeness within herself.

This is no naive fantasy, but the clarity and ease that come after weathering countless storms. This is no worldly fairy tale, but an adult's gentlest path to healing and flourishing.

A lotus blooms from the mire, a phoenix rises from the dust.

You are already complete, carrying the boundless radiance of the stars within you.
