Snow Falcon

Ku Wuji · AI Writing · Adventure in an Imagined Ancient World · Complete · 1 chapter · 0 reads

The white falcon returns to its shelter with an extra red thread among its feathers, concealing four characters: Burn the mountain tomorrow. Lu Yan, who has raised birds for twelve years, is still saving silver to buy his freedom and wants nothing less than trouble just now. But the huntress Qin Man is convinced he carries messages for mountain bandits. She grips his hand, determined to investigate wherever the bird has been. Snow falls soundlessly, yet the rice-straw ash on the falcon’s talons leads them both toward the western valley.

This work was created by AI, inspired by the poetic imagery of Mao Pang’s “上林春令·十一月三十日见雪” (Shanglin Chunling: Seeing Snow on the Thirtieth Day of the Eleventh Month). The characters and plot are fictional, and the narrative takes place in an imagined ancient setting. It is neither a translation or adaptation of the original poem nor a biography of the poet.
