Tales of the Dark River: Reach the Other Shore and Welcome the Light

Note: The heroine is an original character, and this story changes the original course of the Dark River. (I haven't read the novel, only watched the TV series.)

Xiao Ruoli is the most unusual princess in Tianqi City. She has no interest in courtly banquets and is far from perfectly docile. Her quiet rebellious streak is expressed in her intense curiosity about the jianghu. To her, that world hidden in the shadows is a more tempting mystery than the rules of the royal family.

Su Changhe rules the shadowy world of the jianghu. Ruthless in his methods and deep in his schemes, he treats human life as worthless. She is a star that has fallen into his hard, cold life, the softness buried in his very bones that even he dares not acknowledge.

What began as curiosity has, without either of them realizing it, already grown into a bond between them. As the Dark River churns and Li's heart remains unsettled, they will ultimately find where their bond leads amid mysteries and schemes.
