"The journey of a thousand rebirths begins with the first step into the mist." — Liu Weishan.
I apologize, dear reader, but before continuing with this reading, it is necessary for you to receive some essential information that may, or may not, change your path. This book, for instance, is part of a much larger universe than you might imagine. It belongs to the same world as the Shadow and Blood universe, which you may or may not have heard of, and it is also closely tied to the novel Tianhuan Shizun's Heart of Mist and Ice or Heart of Mist and Ice. But beware — this is a dangerous place, filled with myths, legends, and, of course, epic adventure.
Now, if you dare to turn the pages, you will find yourself following the journey of Liu Weishan, a character worthy of being remembered for many years, alongside the roguish fox monk Yao Qing and the celestial officer Lan Fengxian, who becomes more than just a figure of authority and a close friend. Oh yes, there is romance between them — and if you're one of those people who frown upon reading about a BL (Boys' Love) romance, I advise you to stop here. But should you continue, you will find yourself immersed in a tangled universe brimming with beings from Chinese mythology and an epic narrative.
The story is what truly matters here.
Do not be mistaken, dear reader, for romance is not the main focus. What truly matters are the challenges, the magic, and the depth of mythology that shapes this world. This book, A Void for Eternity, was crafted to respectfully transport you into the universe of Chinese culture (with some fictional characters who might fit within mythology, such as a yaoguai or another mythical being), exploring its legends and mysteries in an immersive and authentic way. If you decide to proceed, know that the path will be arduous but rewarding. Otherwise, it might be better to seek something more digestible. Good luck, and may the choice be yours.
— From your eccentric and passionate author, Marcos Torres.
