And when they lead her into the path of a mysterious foreign devil , Li-Xia takes the first steps on a new and perilous journey . . .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sphere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42972277145766,"sku":"9780751538984","price":17.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/red-lotus-9780751538984-3829124857900.jpg?v=1656040286","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/red-lotus","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
