Purple Jade Turns to Smoke

The storms still to come have yet to break,

while the pain of the past has faded from view.

A famed beauty, blue robes and white silks,

Light rippling in her eyes as they gaze at one another, hearts entwined.

A stage made of flowers and thorns, watered with blood,

but who will soothe the wounds in their eyes and hearts?

Qingyun Garden lies among the cloud-wreathed peaks of Qiyi. In less than a century, this women-led sect rose to become the foremost martial arts group in the Li Dynasty. How many legends did it give rise to, and how much blood and sorrow did it conceal? Now that the story of the Twelve Beauties of Qingyun has become the past, and the thousand-year jade has been shattered into the memory of a jade that once tilted the court... What fate awaits Qingyun ten years from now?

Qidian's comment section keeps glitching. Yesterday, the long post in “A Guide for the Lost” disappeared :( Luckily, I saved it in the comments because I'm diligent. I'm really sorry...
