Introduction

This original work is inspired by the classic supernatural tale, Banqiao San Niangzi of the Taiping Guangji (Extensive Records of the Taiping Era) written in 10th century China. The evolution of civilizations and history is driven by fear. Spanning over two thousand years, our story follows a sorceress named Madame Dolly and her companion, Yeli Feitian, as they are relentlessly pursued by the Three Divine Envoys and Puyin the warrior monk, while getting entangled in a series of unimaginable societal upheavals. As times change, so do the things that she fears—just as they do for all humans. She comes to realize that fear is merely a blockage of emotion, a threshold one must cross before reaching happiness. Only by overcoming fear can emotions flow freely once more. After experiencing millenniums of love and hate, Madame Dolly’s journey will ultimately culminate in the divine and demonic battles of the centuries to come.

    Relentlessly hunted by his nemesis, Puyin the warrior monk, Yeli Feitian takes refuge within Madame Dolly’s enchanted scroll. With long, wavy, pale-colored hair and silver-white eyes, he appears distant and temperamental, yet his nature is both naive and domineering. During a battle for survival, he is gravely wounded in an ambush by the Three Divine Envoys. While recovering under Puyin’s care, he uncovers the deep karmic ties that bind them across past reincarnations. In a moment of crisis, to protect both Madame Dolly and Puyin, he sacrifices himself and is ultimately obliterated.

    A young warrior monk with a strong sense of justice and devotion, yet a whimsical nature.

After Yeli Feitian sacrifices himself to save him, Puyin makes the fateful decision to abandon his mortal body and embrace demonhood. He enters Madame Dolly’s enchanted scroll, taking Yeli Feitian’s place, and follows her into the future.
