Chronicles of Sword and Storm

I was hooked after just a few chapters! Five stars, no doubt. Author, please update soon! After deducting four hours for meals and washing, and eight hours of sleep a day, you still have 12 hours left. You should at least update 10 chapters, right? 😏

This is the first time I've read something like this, and it's really good. Especially the part where Duan Shisan drinks the teahouse owner's "Soul-Severing Tea," which reveals Princess Ling'er's true identity. The Empress clearly gave birth to a daughter, but was switched with a son, abandoned her newborn, and killed all the midwives and palace maids who knew the truth.

I was drawn in by the cover, and initially didn't intend to read it since it was only 20,000 words long. But after reading a few chapters, I found it quite good, and the genre was something I hadn't encountered before.
