Su Hanxiao grew up in Su Family Village, a close-knit place that keeps outsiders at arm's length. Unless you prove yourself capable and honest enough to earn the village's respect, you must never stab someone in the back.
So what happens in an age when rumors and gossip can get you killed?
This story was originally meant to cover many events over several decades in an alternate world, but that proved too difficult for a beginner. You could say it starts strong and loses steam: the opening setup is ambitious, but it gets too complicated, with too many ideas, and the later chapters can't keep up. Still, it does reach an ending.
