The Moon Accompanies the Clouds, Our Love Endures

(One-on-one romance; detail-obsessed heroine x tall, unexpectedly quirky hero; sweet, not angsty; they dote on each other, with a soft spot for each other and a tendency to take each other’s side.)

That year, her mother was brutally killed, becoming a wound she could never get over.

To return to the capital, uncover the truth, and avenge her mother, she conceals her identity, schemes in secret, and makes her plans one step at a time.

When the layers of conspiracy are finally peeled away, she can’t accept the truth.

Gui Xiyue breaks down in tears.

The man stares in shock and heartache at the person emerging from a sea of blood.

“Aren’t you afraid of me?”

The man chuckles softly. “Come give me a hug. Once you do, you won’t be afraid anymore.”

(The ending is wildly melodramatic. Don’t read if that bothers you.)
