Decades ago, the late emperor died suddenly without leaving an edict. The court was thrown into turmoil, undercurrents surged, and a bloodbath erupted in the halls of power. Countless noble families were implicated...
The late emperor died suddenly without an edict, and the court was torn apart in a bloodbath. Once-prominent aristocratic families fell overnight.
Years later, three orphaned descendants of disgraced officials return, wading through blood and swearing to reopen the old case and seek justice for their wrongly accused families.
But no one expected that Leng Yichen, the most refined and gentle of the three, would lose his heart to the "young man" always at his side, dressed in men's clothes.
He is a cool, reserved scholar, yet when a blade comes flying, he takes a deadly blow for her with his shoulder. He is devoted to the ways of a gentleman, yet while treating her wounds in the bamboo courtyard, the warmth of her fingertips makes his ears turn red.
The road ahead is full of danger, but he is the first to lose his heart...
Has he fallen for a man? Or... was she a woman all along?
When the truth and revenge become entwined, what will he choose?
The ancient costumes are plotting revenge, the characters are sober, and the character growth lines are clear. The storylines are intertwined, and the visual aesthetics and prop details are attentive❤️. Something to watch. Worth recommending.
A novel worth reading
The appearance, language, and movements of the characters are accurately captured, the descriptions are delicate and true, and the characters are vivid and three-dimensional.
The author writes very well. I like the thoughts of the characters and the detailed description of human body movements very much. I look forward to the author's new works. 😁
