In the village of Huanan, in medieval China, the deity that rules is the Great Huli Jing. Though twelve-year-old Li Jing's name is a different character entirely from the Huli Jing, the sound is close enough to provide constant teasing-but maybe is also a source of greater destiny and power.

She is sold as a bride to the Koh family, where she will be the wife and nursemaid to their three-year-old son, Ju'nan.
