Black Wind, White Lotus In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames.
A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream.
....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man.

This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilization, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost.
Warnings&features:
-3rd person multiple pov with sometimes unreliable narration
-some romantic attraction may be hinted at but never developed because its nor a romance story.
-no sex scenes here, either
-it's a slow burner, so prepare for the initial chapters to be rather uneventful
-I planned the story before I started writing it, most plot developments will be foreshadowed well in advance
-it has some kemonomimi and furry characters
-its has a yin-yang dynamic of comedy and tragedy, and some sad events might be occasionally presented in a snarky or light-hearted way; that's intentional, because I'm not fond of drama
Also, I'm super confused by webnovel, if I classified this one as "female lead" it automatically assigned it fantasy-romance. This story is not romance. To be able to classify it as fantasy, I picked male-lead.
