Latest NetGalley reviews of my #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology.
What happens when you infuse a #cdrama style #wuxia story with #mythological elements (my creative conception)? The magical results can be seen in THE HEAVENLY SWORD and THE EARTHLY BLAZE, as attested by this Netgalley reviewer!

#Xianxia #cdrama fans!
Who is the forerunner of the #xianxia genre of fiction?
Answer: Huanzhulouzhu 還珠樓主 (real name: Li Shoumin 李壽民, 1902-1961), whose magnum opus is Legend of the Swordsmen from the Shu Mountain 蜀山劍俠傳! Have you
seen Tsui Hark's stunning 1983 adaptation?

I finished #wuxia #cdrama #ZhanZhaoAdventures & WOW! Such a phenomenal adaptation of the beloved wuxia classic 三俠五義 (a precursor of modern wuxia fiction)! Loved everything from plot, explosive fight scenes, character development, to the moral dilemma theme, cat/mouse dynamics, atmospheric settings.

I learned that the MARTIAL HERO Anthology Kickstarter Campaign was fully funded within 13 minutes of launch!!
This is a collection of 16 #cdrama style wuxia and xianxia stories written by 16 passionate authors in a limited lux French-flap foil edition!
Did you know how much alike are Ren Ruyi in #AJTL and Tang Sai'er in #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon?
- formidable sword fighters;
- charismatic leaders;
- engaged in deadly espionage;
- each has an admirer whose love they cannot requite;
- masters of own fates.

In case you missed my talk with the #OWWRpod hosts about the writing of #THEHEAVENLYSWORD (Book 1 of the #SWORDMAIDENFROMTHEMOON duology), here's the Spotify link to the episode:-

Finished my rewatch. Every detail got branded onto my mind. Only one Chinese adage suits this gem: 可歌可泣 (worthy of ovation and tears). It was used to praise the masterpiece in poetry: Song of Lasting Sorrow by Bai Juyi.
MARTIAL HERO to launch on June 9!
My contribution is "Blood Debt", a classic #wuxia tale with a dash of sapphic vibe.
My character Rufeng was inspired by Jin Guangyao from #TheUntamed. Like him, Rufeng exploits her secret identity to indulge in blatant ambitions at the expense of innocent lives.
There're seriously too many things to love about #wuxia #cdrama #AJourneytoLove! I reached ep. 30 on my rewatch and couldn't but be spellbound all over again by this cute couple arc!

What amazed me most was #YangYang 's & #FangYilun 's natural interaction mixed with humor, the profound question of how best to serve justice, and the tear-jerking scene where the cruel truth about Ming Zu'er's tragic past comes to light and how he and Zhan Zhao wiped away their misunderstanding. 😢
