Some say, that the remnants of the Great Wall amidst the Loess Plateau which one vaguely sees during a raging sandstorm in the middle of the night is, in actuality, the spirits of the Yumen Pass.

It follows Ye Liuxi and Chang Dong as they team up to go deep into the desert, one is trying to unravel a birth mystery and the other is trying to unravel the truth of the past.

The depths of the desert are full of dangers, and it seems that a pair of invisible hands are pulling Ye Liuxi and Chang Dong into the Yumen Pass. They put up a strong fight against various forces and just as the truth appears to be at hand, they find themselves caught in an even bigger conspiracy.

  • 尾鱼 is a relatively established novelist in the C-novel community, and is well known for writing mystery fantasy novels with horror elements (for instance, the female lead in the Voice of Death possessed the power to see various spirits, and often helped the spirits find some sort of closure to their time in the living world). One of the brightest and lovliest points about 尾鱼's novels, however, is the fresh, wholesome characters (even side characters) which she manages to craft for every single book of hers that I have read, and Xi Exiting Yumen definitely does not disappoint in this regard.

    In short, Xi Exiting Yumen is a story about a haphazard team of people who are forced to journey together in the dessert as a result of various circumstances out of their control. Although every single person in the team possesses their own motivations for stepping on this journey, they gradually learn to bond together and really care for each other as the journey becomes increasingly wild and dangerous. Of course, being a "mystery and fatansy" novelist, the story doesn't just stop at "journeying in the dessert" - along the way, the team manages to find the entrance to another 'realm / world' within the dessert, which is so well crafted by 尾鱼 that the entire concept isn't exactly hard to swallow.

    This is a terrible review (as I am terrible at writing reviews whilst trying my best nott to give anything away), but the novel is highly recommended if you like mystery / fantasy / romance (albeit the romance written by 尾鱼 always has her signature features - stoic, independent and trustworthy male lead, outstanding, similarly independent and capable female lead).

  • Hi, I would like to know if there's an English translation of the book. I just finished the drama amd loved it, but I have some doubts about the ending. I also wanted to read the source material. Have a great day.
