Ye Luoli: Moonlight Over the Clear, Cold River

[Everyone’s favorite + white moonlight + multiple unhinged, love-struck men + breaking up couples (some undecided) + shifting loyalties] Couples I might break up: Feng Yin, Pang Ying, Yan Bing, Shui Mo, Shi Li. (Some pairings aren’t confirmed in canon; I might break up some, while others will stay together. I won’t break up Jin Luo, even though I’m not a fan of theirs.) 1. Lots of unhinged and lovesick characters. Characterizations are my own. 3. The heroine is the ruler of the moon. Titles: Moon Venerable, Moon Fairy. 4. (I don’t think she should overpower everyone from the start.) So her growth in power takes some time, though not too long. It’ll be shown through the little details. 5. I won’t follow the original ages for Wang Mo, Chen Sisi, and the others. They’ll be around sixteen or seventeen. In the immortals’ eyes, they’re still children, high-school age. The story begins in ancient times. The heroine’s temperament is like something repeatedly tempered by moonlight: coldness is her foundation, beauty her sharp edge, clear-headedness her core, and tenderness the occasional moonbeam that slips through. Her cool elegance is in her very bones; her beauty is an edge she carries naturally. Detachment and clarity are her usual state, while tenderness is a rare gleam of moonlight. She is like a solitary moon: aware of her own radiance, yet protective of her cool reserve. She understands how complicated the world is, so she is not easily moved. But moonlight is still light, and sometimes she can’t help turning her gaze toward a certain moment. Love-struck man No. 1: She looked at me today, several times! (Actually, she gave me several looks that were hard to describe.) Love-struck man No. 2: She touched me today. Her hand smells so nice! (Actually, she slapped me.) (I recommend starting from Chapter 11. After Chapter 40, I’m going to let loose.)
