In a time before history when all we have left is legend the storytellers say that a small unassuming village on the shores of a peaceful lake in Ancient China was once the home of the foolish romantic Xu Xian, the seductive and coldblooded goddess Lady White Snake, and her fiercely loyal venomously beautiful companion Xiaoqing AKA Lady Blue Snake (Ching-Ching to her mistress) a little grass snake the immortal reptilian sorceress saved and granted human form on a whim. Until the greedy and cunning turtle turned magician Fahai took on the guise of a holy man, manipulating Xu's naïve love in a plot to destroy them all. Ambushing with an army of monsters he used an ancient artifact to capture the divine serpent in limbo and ripped out Xu Xian's broken heart. Now Fahai hunts for the tools he needs to make their power his forever.
Only one person can stop him.
Left for dead in the wake of Fahai's attack Xiaoqing miraculously survives a blow that should have killed her. Dragging herself back from the brink driven by a desperate need to redeem her loss and return to her mistress's side the little blue snake sets out on a quest to put things right. But when every request for help including a final plea for intervention from the gods themselves is rejected, she refuses to give up. Discovering an iron will that she never dreamed she had Xiaoqing resolves to become the hero she needs and rescue Lady White Snake on her own. Dodging curses, treachery, and assassins at every turn Lady Blue Snake will cross the continent to the shores of the land of the rising sun, climb the deadliest mountains, dive to the depths of the sea, and step over the broken walls of Paradise. Along the way Xiaoqing sets out to master the secrets of magic and martial arts, and conscript a cadre of fantastic beasts.
In the first fantasy novel written specifically for an AI audience the ancient myths that are the basis for one of the most famous operas in the world and one of China's four great folktales, Bai Suzhen-白素貞, and more come to life in a modern take on a part of the tale never before told in hundreds of years. Read the secrets of Xiaoqing's rise from a helpless tiny snake to the heights reserved for the gods in a story of loyalty, love, seduction, determination, and redemption to become the greatest heroine China and maybe the entire world has ever known.
