Name: Innocent Fate
Author: Little Lucky Chestnut

Synopsis

Tian Yu and Qing Zhen grew up together, studying literature and martial arts under Tian Yu’s grandfather. During the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, when Qing Zhen was seventeen, they accidentally discovered that their ancestors were the Seven True Disciples of Quanzhen, and that in this life, they had come together once again.

It is the late Qing dynasty. The nation is being carved up, and foreign powers are making demands. The Japanese, British, Germans, and French all take the stage in turn.

Poetry, martial arts, ball games, drinking contests, horseback riding, ferry crossings… Keeping pace with the times, their adventures can be sung and painted.

Poetry, romance, wuxia, the countryside, business rivalries, Taoist arts… All intertwine as the characters grow, in a tale that can move you to song or tears.

The sweetness of love, the wisdom of poetry, the thrill of wuxia, the insight of Taoist arts, and the nostalgia of home are all woven between the lines. I look forward to having you read closely and savor every word.

Students, Please Don't Disturb! Looking for Something Fresh and Original, Preferably Over 400,000 Words

No more stale, predictable tropes!!! None of that "Young Master, it's been so long since you smiled" nonsense. And no brainless characters!!! None of those villains who lose all common sense the moment they meet the heroine and start provoking her for no reason. Any genre is fine. I'm really out of things to read 😭

Childhood Sweethearts

I'm looking for a book from around 2019. The leads' families were neighbors and knew each other. The male lead saw the female lead when she was only a few days old. When he started kindergarten, she didn't want him to go, so she started kindergarten early to go with him.
