Thank you Netgalley for the free ARC in return for an honest review.

Wugang, advisor to the Celestial Emperor, becomes general of the Celestial Kingdom army and shoes more interest in Xingyin and her mother, the Moon Goddess. Their peace at home is broken when four visitors arrive unexpectedly all parties with different motivations to ask for the hospitality of the Moon Goodness. They are betrayed and Wugang's plot for revenge on his wife and the Celestial Emperor is revealed as he usurps power from the Emperor (didn't expect that!). During this time, Xingyin and Liwei make promises to each other, then Xingyin to someone else that causes all kinds of misunderstanding between the lovers. Wenzhi's constant presence is an annoyance to Xingyin but comes in handy when Wugang's evil plot is revealed. The love triangle really detracted from the story and grew tiresome. I wasn't convinced at the ending her love towards the man she selects but I understand her why. Not as great as the first installment but again, the author succeeds in creating a rich and magical world.
