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.
