Synopsis

[The rating is low because it just came out. I did my best, but the blurb is still pretty awful. Bear with me, everyone TUT]

Starting with The Lost Tomb, paired with Xiaoge, a little bit of a crowd favorite, lots of personal headcanons, and a long-lived protagonist.

Yi Sui had just turned twelve when Er Yuehong bought him from Nan Feng Guan and brought him home.

He knew nothing at all. He followed Er Yuehong, learning opera and martial arts, and occasionally picking on Chen Pi.

Yi Sui established his own faction by opening the Yubao Studio. Er Yuehong had only meant for him to run it for fun, but unexpectedly, Yubao Studio eventually became a must-visit destination for anyone appraising antiques.

When he was seventeen, Changsha was without a ruler, and war suddenly broke out.

Many people knew that Er Ye's young apprentice was in poor health. He never let go of his long-stemmed pipe, but what he smoked wasn't tobacco: it was the medicinal vapor from pills that nourished his body.

Er Ye also never let him get involved in dirty work or bloodshed.

Yet on the night Changsha descended into chaos, that pipe, entwined with a silver snake carving, bloomed with a scarlet flower of blood.

From then on, everyone in the underworld respectfully called him, “Master Sui.”

As for Master Sui himself, he didn't have any grand ambitions. He only wanted to look after his home at Hong Mansion and run his little antique appraisal shop.

When he was eighteen, he was the Serpent Lord. Coming of age brought him severe torment from his bloodline, leaving him listless all day. Chen Pi mocked him, then turned around and sent him a newly found wild man as a bodyguard. The man was supposedly formidable, ruthless, and taciturn.

He asked the wild man, “What's your name?”

The wild man thought about it for a long time. After a very long while, he finally answered, “Zhang Qiling.”

Writing a blurb is so hard!!!!!

Although the plot lacks dramatic ups and downs, the emotional expression is very delicate, and the character portrayals are quite three-dimensional, making you want to keep watching. You'll be moved by the familial bond between Er Yuehong, Ya Tou, Chen Pi, and Xiao Sui. I hope to see Xiao Sui grow into an independent, emotionally rich person soon, rather than just an object. Looking forward to the rest of the story! ~(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

It's great! I love it! Give me more! 🥰🥰🥰 I browsed the book community and found that the author's updates seem a bit inconsistent. But it's good that he focuses on real life, right? I just hope that the author can update more often in his spare time and not abandon the story!

Wow, this is amazing! Before Xiao Ge appeared, I was happily shipping Hei Xiazi and Sui Sui. After Xiao Ge came out, I wished the three of them could live together forever… The writing is superb, it's a very comfortable read, and the pacing of the plot is great. I really love Sui Sui, and I'm sure she'll be happy! Waaaaah, could you please release 100 chapters so I can keep reading…?

So good!!! The protagonist's cold, imitative behavior really appeals to my taste!!! And protecting Hongfu during the attack in Changsha was so cool!!! 💕💕💕 After killing the bandits, he piled their heads on both sides of the road, leaned against a pillar, and smoked drugs with a pipe (can I say that? Anyway, it looks like it)! Waaaaah, how long am I going to be obsessed with this kind of character?

It's so good!!! The main character is the Snake Lord, who initially doesn't understand "emotion," like a blank sheet of paper, constantly imitating the emotions of others, before finally developing his own. My favorite scene is when Master Sui leans against the gate of the Red Mansion, smoking medicinal cigarettes, flanked by two officials from the capital and seven hundred bandits.

I want a strong and beautiful protagonist, not one who suffers or is tormented. I've given up on several books because of the need for angst; I hate angst for the sake of angst, and I can't stand angst-filled stories. I just like sweet, happy family stories.

The book is wonderful. Watching Xiao Sui grow up little by little, developing flesh and blood and emotions, is both heartwarming and painful!

The protagonist's character is quite unique, and the writing and plot are also good. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a good Tomb Raider fanfic (it keeps making me cry with its angst, but it's really good). The protagonist is indeed a pitiful little thing, an empty shell, a blank slate, destined to be a tool to complete a mission.

It's a really good story! But could the author please give me a definite answer: is this a tragic story? I'm a little afraid to read on 🥺🥺🥺

This is so, so well written [kiss][kiss]. Every character is exactly my type. I feel so bad for Sui Sui. Everyone calls him Lord Sui now, and it feels like I'm raising him [giggles]. Juzi has a sharp tongue but a heart of gold, haha, and Xia Xia is such a little rascal. I love every character so much. I can't wait for the little brother to make his proper entrance.
