Name: The Blood of Youth: A Bird That Cannot Return
Author: Star Quilt

Synopsis

Hunting wild geese with a bow: “Yun Yi” (Yi, fourth tone) is like using clouds as a bowstring to shoot birds flying across the sky. But birds are born confined to cages, and once released, they can only stumble as they struggle toward the heavens.

She hates everyone and uses everyone. She is selfish and hypocritical, she stops at nothing, and she has no regard for blood ties.

Perhaps she was born to be the great villainess in a storybook.

She’s quite ruthless in the prequel, but grows into someone with firm principles in the main story.

Xiao Yunyi, formerly known as Su Yiyuan, and Xiao Yu are twins.

The family relationships currently focus in detail on Wuxin, Xiao Yu, Xiao Chong, and Xiao Se. There is less romance so far, involving Su Changhe, Lei Wujie, and an original male character.

The story has multiple routes. After the main route is complete, there will also be an if route that goes to Young White Horses, resolving all the regrets at their source. It may be rather long.

The story before Chapter 23 is a prequel to Young Songs, providing background. It doesn’t follow the timeline exactly, instead selecting several important events. More details will be added later through flashbacks.

Xiao Yunyi and Su Changhe’s relationship begins in the prequel chapters about the Dark River.

Content warnings: The story is unfriendly toward the Beili royal family and Xiao Ruojin. There are no absolute villains, only people with different positions.
