Wings of Frost 霜寒之翼
“Boss, you’re saying that’s a white dragon?” The dwarf stared at the half-visible dragon wing protruding from the great glacier, his face pale and his legs already trembling. The dragon’s wings blotted out the sky, dimming the sun. Its chilling presence seemed to freeze the heavens themselves. “Maybe it is... Fall back. We should leave...” A nameless chill ran through the captain. “Move! Prepare for battle!” A powerful gust tore across the sky, knocking the mercenaries to the ground. The dragon

Literary blurb: Two lifetimes on the road to the immortal mountains, a fated bond among ten miles of peach blossoms.

Before my eyes, fate split into two unrelated, straight paths. One led to palaces and cities burning fiercely in flames, to a fallen kingdom and a suffering land, where all living things endured the torment of fire, doomed to eternal darkness. The other led to the summit where the ancient kings stood. The gods crowned me with their own hands among the clouds. I donned the laurel wreath and basked in the cheers of the crowd.

A Ten-Year Veteran Reader’s Picks: No Beginner-Friendly Books
Selection criteria: 1. I try to avoid books that have been abandoned or only update once a year. Even a great book can be a chore if updates are painfully slow once you've started reading. 2. I try to recommend works of a certain caliber. I've read plenty of high-VIP novels from 2006, books from rental shops, and so on. I think I have pretty good taste by now. At the very least, I can usually tell from the blurb and first few chapters whether a book is going to be a minefield. Of course, I've on
