The Blazing Splendor of Her Brows

This is an Eastern fantasy world where spiritual energy leaked away and declined after the "Brow-Guide Rebellion," with mortal dynasties existing alongside hidden lineages of cultivators. Its power system revolves around "bloodlines" and "qi." Divine artifacts have spirits, and even cooking can become a path to cultivation. Key locations include a fishing village in Jiaodong, the Nine Nether Secret Realm on Mount Tai, Tiangong City, and the Rift at the Heavenly Gate. The factions include the Brow-Guide lineage, guardians charged with repairing the heavens; former rebels who took part in the uprising; and aristocratic clans and sects, each with their own agenda. The central conflict follows Lin Zhuohua as she seeks out five companions, repairs the Heavenly Gate, and settles the karmic debts left behind by her mother.
