江湖路弯弯 Jiang Hu Lu Wan Wan (Jiang Hu's road is curved) by 影照 Ying Zhao (HE)

Introducing a new book to everyone! The meaning of the title is that Jiang Hu's road is not easy... I can see that after reading the synopsis hahaha. The author of the book also wrote The crazy adventures of Wu gate which is one of the 50, most influential Chinese internet novels and it's really funny! One of my favourites, guaranteed to laugh if you understand her jokes (References to modern day actors and songs).





Synopsis:

Alone, Pang Wan entered the Jiang Hu. Her dream was to become a white lotus, to find her destined other half.

To fufill this dream, everyday, she would dress elegantly in white and sit in the teahouse to admire handsome men and read her novels.

She heard, the demonesses [2] related to Jiang Hu were all, depending on their martial arts capabilities, divided into groups of three, six and nine.
Currently, that evil woman, who had the beauty of a blossoming flower, who had a heart like snakes and scorpions, who could kill at such a young age, was a once-in-a-century peerless demoness.
She also heard, The Demoness had come down from the mountains to challenge the Wu Lin [3] champion Gu Xi Ju, to take the title of number one and to wreck havoc in the Jiang Hu.
Yet again she heard, all those who had decent martial arts skills all vowed to get rid of this witch.

Aiyaya, it's not good! Isn't this demoness her? She did not kill the person! She did not start the fire!

This infamous name of The Demoness is also not what she wanted!

Looks, like Jiang Hu's road is very curved, she better run!

[1] A lady like a White Lotus, meaning pure/ someone who looks innocent
[2] Not exactly the supernatural kind. They're female practitioners of demonic arts, the opposite of female immortal cultivators.
[3] Wu Lin meaning martial arts.
