Features: A masterpiece of Eastern fantasy, a passionate legend of youth and dreams. When your wings rise, everything around you will be engulfed in blood and fire, family torn apart, loved ones separated, empires collapsing, and all things turning to smoke. Yet, will you still fly?
This story tells of the struggles between the crane snow of the feather clan and the sky-pursuers of the human race in the chaotic era. The story of the seven warriors of the sky-pursuers will be told in the book Feather Legend. Xiang Yixi, Feng Lingshui, Lu Ranzhen, He Qi, and Shen Qi are all main characters in Feather Legend. A tale of the rise and fall of the feather clan's dynasty unfolds on the ancient and magical land of Jiu Zhou. Here lives a race like elves: they are light on their feet and can form wings under the full moon to soar into the sky. Their name is the Feather People. This is a story of the rise and fall of the feather clan's dynasty.
The descendants of the second dynasty of the feather clan, the Yi family, allied with the Feng family, descendants of the dynasty, to conspire to overthrow the rule of the third dynasty and restore their own kingly position. However, the Yi family, by implementing the unpopular "Mirror-Empty Decree," divided the feather people into nine classes, leading to widespread resentment among the lower-class feathers, which eventually sparked a rebellion and the establishment of a new dynasty. But the new feather king was weak and conservative, and under his leadership, the feather clan gradually declined. At this time, the Xied army of the human race, taking advantage of the rare "Star-Moon Transformation," annihilated the elite feather unit—the Crane Snow. From then on, the Crane Snow became a part of history, and the art of the Crane Snow's eternal flight turned into an ancient myth.
Xiang Yixi and Feng Lingshui met in such a chaotic era. One was the descendant of the Dark Moon, born with black wings, and his flight always meant the arrival of disaster, hatred, and war. The other was the messenger of the Bright Moon, possessing the purest white wings of the feather clan. Faced with the intricate political coups and wars, was it love or conspiracy? Justice or selfish desire? The lovers who once walked hand in hand through snow and youth, would they finally be able to enter the spring of Jiu Zhou together?
The feather women are solitary, as if fate destined them to wander the skies alone, gazing down at the earth and its myriad souls. Among countless heroes, how many could match this unparalleled pride? How many could share the sky with them? To love them was to eventually have to leave. Due to the innate habits of the feather clan, they wander their lives in search, never settling in one place. The human race longs for the embrace of eternal love, while the feather clan believes in meeting and relying on each other during their distant travels. Only those who can keep pace with them are worthy of love. If their feet grow tired and their hearts weary, they can only watch as she flies away without looking back, unwilling to stay for them.
A feather's life is one of constant falling and leaving, leaving only a breathtaking legend like a fleeting swan. Where their shadows vanish into the sky, the clouds drift endlessly for a thousand years.
This book belongs to the "Jiu Zhou Fantasy World" series.
