Expectation conceals the truth.

Noblewoman and cultivator Li Yao is called to a small village to investigate a mysterious illness that has drained residents of their chi. Accompanying her are her suitors Xiang An and Shen Wei, both more trouble than they're worth in Li Yao's eyes.

Perhaps not all is as it seems. In the village and her suitors.

This is a short story set in the A Thousand Li universe. Does not need to be read to follow the main series.

Tao Wong is a Canadian author based in Toronto who is best known for his System Apocalypse post-apocalyptic LitRPG series and A Thousand Li, a Chinese xianxia fantasy series. He was shortlisted for the UK Kindle Storyteller award in 2021 for A Thousand Li: The Second Sect. When he's not writing and working, he's practicing martial arts, reading, and dreaming up new worlds.

Natalie Naudus is an award winning audiobook narrator and social media influencer. โ€œA fave among audiobook listenersโ€ (Buzzfeed), she lives with her family on a mountain in Virginia.
