Creatures of the Forbidden City: The Mystery of the Cave Light Gem

By Yi Chang

Whispers turn to chatter, and legends come to life in the heart of the Forbidden City.

When Li Xiaoyu, a spirited 10-year-old, discovers a gemstone earring lost in time, she unlocks a secret world where the guardians of the ancient palace speak in tongues of old. Guided by Pear Blossom, a feline with a taste for canned delicacies and mischief, Xiaoyu befriends centuries-old creatures, each with tales taller than the Forbidden City's crimson walls. Together, they embark on enchanting escapades that weave through the hidden threads of history. Yet, one question tugs at Xiaoyu's curiosity: to whom does the mystical earring belong?

Her journey through a tapestry of mythical tales leads to revelations as dazzling as the Forbidden City itself.
