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":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32037410340947,"sku":"","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780751538984_f3f1bf00-756a-4ac4-ac01-6f9af5dcb889.jpg?v=1748427345","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/red-lotus","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
