[A shrewd, silver-tongued, money-loving heroine x a steady, self-controlled assassin who is ruthless and speaks little]
[Wen Gushe (Yè) (Tuoba Huan) x Chu Kuanglan]
An accidental “debt” forces a noblewoman fleeing an arranged marriage and a wandering assassin to travel together. One conceals a token of office, the other hides a bloody past. They go from wary distrust to entrusting their lives to each other.
Chu Kuanglan is the last blade of the Zhuying Hall. After his master's mysterious death and his senior brother's disappearance, he wanders far and wide in search of the truth, destitute and down on his luck.
Wen Gushe is the most dangerous move on the Yan court's chessboard. The funeral bells ring through Chang'an, and wolves lurk both inside and outside the palace walls. She makes the realm her game board and enters the fray alone.
He thinks her spoiled and willful, yet willingly hunts down criminals for her reward. She mocks him as stubborn and unyielding, yet pawns her old belongings to buy his freedom.
Then confinement at the Prince of Runan's manor tears away their tender pretense. The bloody truth behind the power struggle comes to light, and his senior brother turns against him and backs him into a corner. Chu Kuanglan holds his sword to her throat, only to turn the blade against an old friend for her sake.
Palace intrigue and deadly Jianghu schemes, armor and tenderness alike become a battlefield. When rebel forces reach the capital, the new emperor grows suspicious, siblings turn on one another, and close friends become enemies, only one person comes through the flames to join her in playing a song to defend the realm.
“An assassin must have no attachments. Once you have them, you'll lose, and you won't be able to draw your sword.”
“But sometimes, having someone to care about is what lets you win.”

It's good to watch, with the background of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, family and country, wars and wars, the male and female protagonists both have their own beliefs and insistence. I'm glad that they met each other and it also has a good ending. The author's description is excellent, because the characters involve grassland beliefs, and many of the languages are very distinctive. Many of the dialogues and psychological battles between the various characters are relatively obscure, and each fighting scene is described in a serious and brilliant manner, like a martial arts novel. There are several friendships between bosom friends in the novel. No matter good or evil, right or wrong, "a scholar dies for a bosom friend" always makes people sigh and sigh.
It is a very, very, very wonderful novel. Every character is full-bodied and the rhythm is very compact. It can be seen that the author has good literary quality, exquisite writing style and quotations from classics. The plot design has ups and downs, and the family affection and love described are moving. In particular, the description of each scene is very detailed and beautiful. It would be very good if it were adapted into a film and television. The article involves a lot of intrigues and lays a lot of foreshadowings. It may seem a bit convoluted, but it is really well written and worth reading. I hope this novel can be read by more people!!
It's very interesting. The text makes people feel as if they are on the scene. They can directly feel the thrilling confrontation, the tragic war and the wind in the wilderness. They can also see the bloody power struggle and the conflicts between Hu and Han in the process of Chineseization. It's not long, doesn't look tiring, and is very powerful.
There are many aspects described. With my IQ, reading this article feels very brain-burning, especially the dialogue between the characters. Although it is very reasonable and meaningful, some of them made me unable to turn around. I can only understand the general plot. Of course, I still think it is a beautiful article worth reading. I also secretly asked the author if this book is set in the Yuan Dynasty (it's just a wrong guess, don't blame me)
The author has a strong literary foundation! The past between brother and sister is embarrassing! It's really good-looking, but it's too short and doesn't look good enough! I finished reading it in one go! This book is very good! Qingqing can read 😄
It's a very tense book that moves between reality and memories without being messy. I feel like the author is so awesome and I want to follow you! It shows Hu Han's fusion of flesh and blood and provides many interesting and inspiring angles! Watching it makes me feel excited and want to jump off the building. So lucky to read this book!
The writing is good, the story is also good, and it is quite innovative. Maybe the setting of the customs and customs of the ethnic minorities was not smoothed out at first, which made the reading a bit confusing.
Wow... It's so well written. Although it's a short story, it condenses the story to a general level. It's about heroes in troubled times, bloody killings, and machinations. It's great.
