Jade Bandit

[Bold, passionate bandit queen × deceptively sweet, growing young scholar]

On her wedding night, the groom runs away, and Mei Lanzhu accidentally escapes a deadly trap.

When she returns to her mountain stronghold, it is engulfed in flames, and everyone there has been slaughtered.

She swears to take revenge. He urges her to report the crime.

She laughs at his naivety. The law is a tool the powerful use to keep commoners in line, not a measure of equality for all.

“The wrongs suffered by little people only have a chance to come to light when the powerful are fighting among themselves.”

She will use the powerful to get her revenge.

After lying low for years, she finally gets her wish and sends her enemy to the grave with her own hands.

At last, he sees that the deals made in the Golden Throne Hall are the true source of chaos.

So when high office and generous rewards are laid before them, the two of them silently choose to step away while they can.

Leaving doesn’t mean the story is over.

The world belongs to everyone, not just the powerful, who treat it like a chessboard.

A new world can be written in more ways than one.
