Synopsis

Li Quanyi × Ji Ming'an × Song Wenzhou × Fang Rongci

Female-audience story, two male leads, friendship-focused, not BL × revenge × powerful characters

Number one on the Twin Arts Ranking: Li Quanyi. Number two: Ji Ming'an.

Ji Ming'an grew up in the Duyang Sect, where he nurtured a dream of roaming the jianghu and making a name for himself.

But after he let his guard down and was kidnapped, Zhou Huilin rescued him. The two became friends who would protect one another.

They approach Li Quanyi and learn of the past, as well as the fact that Li Quanyi has now become Sect Leader. He was once their enemy.

Ji Ming'an begins to keep his guard up around him, but changes his opinion of him after they weather one crisis after another together. Zhou Huilin had a part in Li Quanyi’s past, and later returns to his old ways, joining forces with Wen Chuting, the greatest enemy of the two men.

Several years earlier, Li Quanyi was already dying after Wen Chuting infected him with Liangchou. With little time left for revenge, Wen Chuting still forces him to enter the palace and serve him. Li Quanyi uses what remains of his life to fight back, carrying out his revenge in an ingenious way.

Excerpts

“I am like a river I have crossed: frozen when winter comes, reborn when spring arrives.”

“Li Quanyi, in this life I owe you too much. I failed to give you justice or freedom, and I couldn’t keep you safe.”

There is no trace of him left in this world, nor of that springtime light...

In the first year, he prayed that he and Jiang Yuwan would be safe and sound.

In the second year, he prayed that he, Ji Ming'an, and Jiang Yuwan would be safe and sound.

In the third year, he prayed that Ji Ming'an and Jiang Yuwan would be safe and sound...

A Tragic Love of Hatred and Passion!!!

I want a love-hate story where neither the hatred nor the love is complete, where a hint of sincerity is mixed into feigned affection, and a hint of deceit into sincerity. I hate that the moon shines high above, but not on me alone. I hate that the moon shines high above, yet doesn't shine on me. I hate that the moon shines high above, and once shone on me. Are there any stories with this kind of setup?!
