The Needle and the Spear

The Needle and the Spear

by Lin keke

AdventureFantasyFemale LeadHistoricalMartial Arts

She knows Yue Fei will die. Yet she still chose to walk into his story. In 1959, a poor farm girl named Peng Ju lived a life of endless humiliation and silence. One night, an old tiger pillow and a mysterious portrait tear her out of her own time and throw her into Song Dynasty China — inside the body of a teenager. Now she stands in front of 14-year-old Yue Fei. She knows every tragedy that awaits him. She knows he will be betrayed by the empire he dies for.  But she stays anyway. With nothing but a needle, her memories, and unbreakable will, she fights beside the boy who will become China's greatest tragic hero. This is not a story of changing history.This is a story of choosing to love a doomed man. The Needle and the Spear.
