Storms Over Zilin

This work is also known as The Tale of Xiao A, and is adapted from the experiences of its author, Wu Renxiong. In ancient times, Zilin City and the royal city were locked in constant conflict. This was a blessed land, rich in produce, and the various factions seemed never to stop fighting over it. It was practically a battleground coveted by all. The city's ruler changed countless times, until Chen Zilin, the eldest daughter of the great general Chen Shun, became queen of Zilin City. That is where the name Zilin originated. Yet the city remained shrouded in turmoil, and a tangled web of war and ill-fated love ensnared everyone who lived there. Chen Zilin was always on her guard, fearing that she might one day lose her throne. She often went to pray beneath the Xingyue Tower, and at last her sincere devotion moved the immortals in heaven. The words of a fairy in white brought her to her senses. In the end, she decided to end the war and devote herself to goodness. At last, everyone made peace with one another. They worked together for their common interests and helped each other, and from then on the land enjoyed favorable weather and harmony in government and society. Many among them ascended to heaven and became immortals at the end of their lives...
