The Daoist Princesses: A Chang'an Family Quest

In the final years of Empress Wu Zetian's reign, behind the towering palace walls, hidden currents of danger lurked. Princesses Yuzhen (Li Chiying) and Jinxian (Li Huaqi) took refuge in the Yansheng Temple in Zhongnan, hoping to escape worldly affairs and cultivate the Dao, far from court intrigues. A secret letter shattered the peace, and the sisters were shocked to learn a long-buried secret: their mother, who had supposedly died of illness years ago, and their wet nurse had not perished but had been secretly abducted and hidden away. To find their kin and uncover the truth behind the injustice, the two women shed their royal splendor and descended the mountain as Daoist nuns, traveling the ancient roads of Guanzhong. At the Baqiao ferry, they encountered Jianghu wanderers and travelers from the Western Regions, and inadvertently became entangled in old grudges spanning the court, the Jianghu, and the steppes. Wei Tuan'er's long-suppressed revenge scheme, the deadly case of the Black and White Demons, and the covert surveillance of the imperial guards followed one after another. Two Daoist princesses walk the chaotic Jianghu, navigating the cracks of a prosperous era, pursuing the truth, upholding justice, and preserving their true selves. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Daoist Princesses: A Chang'an Family Quest — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
