Three Hundred Years of Longing: Bu Jian Shang Xian San Bai Nian 1

The Banquet of the Winding Wine ends with one nobleman falling asleep warm in his bed. When he wakes, he’s shackled as a prisoner in the Northern Domain of Tealspire, feared by all as an archfiend! However, he’s not the only one who’s just woken up. Floating on the Boundless Sea is an impenetrable prison thirty-three stories tall where the damned rot and demons perish: the Northern Domain of Tealspire. It’s at the very top of the spire that Wu Xingxue has just awakened on a dead tree in the middle of a deep, blue lake, rinsing strange blood off his hands. Nearby, he hears the sound of metal clanging. Not only is he disoriented after a night of revelry and ambrosia, but he’s now an archfiend shackled in chains?! Clearly, he is no longer living a life of luxury as a nobleman in Magpie Haven. Yet it’s not all bad news for this bewildered demon. With a stroke of luck, his awakening rouses the legendary Tianxiu Immortal, Xiao Fuxuan—a mysterious being who has the power to levy justice, all while bearing the word “absolution” upon his neck. It’s in the nick of time too, as they must team up to escape as Tealspire crumbles around them. Still, the mysteries don’t stop there. The two must uncover why Tealspire collapsed, what happened to Wu Xingxue’s former life in Magpie Haven, how he woke up as archfiend, and just who the Tianxiu Immortal, Xiao Fuxuan, really is. Interwoven with Mu Su Li’s signature humor, this genre-defying tale dives deep into the nature of good versus evil—and will make you believe in a love that can last forever!
