Chasing the Jade: Xie Zheng and Fan Changyu's Chang Yu
About This Novel
Xie Zheng and Fan Changyu, two "dead souls" who narrowly escaped death from the battlefield in the north, bought an old house in Qingshi Town, Jiangnan. He learned to use the art of war in chopping firewood and growing vegetables, and she turned her healing skills into making tofu. Chopping firewood is to set up a formation, lighting brine is to use soldiers, the chessboard hides gunpowder smoke, and the embroidery needle is heavier than the sword. Yet the past is never truly far away. When three foreigners with suspicious behavior move into the inn, when the military code words are heard in the small town carpenter shop, and when clues about the orphan of the old friend gradually emerge - they must find a third way between "anonymity" and "fulfilment of the promise". In the end, the couple used their wisdom tempered on the battlefield to weave a protective network of their own amidst the warmth of the neighborhood and the fireworks of the city: he became Mr. Xie who taught "strength classes" in the school, and she opened an embroidery workshop for girls from poor families.
