Synopsis

Everyone says I betrayed the Dark River for the sake of freedom. They're wrong. I left so that one day, the Dark River hidden beneath the earth could flow into the four seas and see the light of day.

Volume One: Dashing Youth

Baili Dongjun was the first key I chose. His wine washed away my past. His identity brought me to the gates of Tianqi Hall. His sincerity helped me become Li Changsheng's disciple.

I planned for every contingency, wielding love as a blade and advancing step by step. I watched him raise his sword to challenge the heavens for me and vow to become the greatest under heaven. What a perfect piece on the board.

Volume Two: The Dark River

The Dark River upheaval came early, forcing me to return before anything was ready, in an even more precarious position. The prince I chose had no desire to ascend the throne, and the master I sought cared nothing for immortality. And the most crucial key I had chosen became the one variable I could never calculate, after years of feigned tenderness.

So I used my death to break the deadlock.

For the Dark River, I left behind two more pieces: a new leader to inherit my will, and a daughter sent to Snow Moon City.

Volume Three: The Blood of Youth

Everyone believes the calamity of the Dark River ended with my death. They don't know that the real game only began the moment I died.

My daughter will grow up in Snow Moon City, where she will meet a boy named Xiao Chuhe. And the Dark River I once swore to lead into the light will surge once more in the hands of Su Changhe, taking a different form. My daughter will be the one to calm it with her own hands.

At last, the Dark River will see the light of day.

★ The Dark River enters the world, wielding light rather than bloodshed. My death sets the game in motion.

The character of Mu Menghuan is brilliantly portrayed! You might think she's an assassin forced into the storm against her will, but by the end, you realize the entire world is her chessboard. At first, I followed her perspective the whole time: her defection from the Dark River, her pursuit, her encounter with Baili Dongjun, her meeting with Xiao Ruofeng, her apprenticeship with Li Changsheng…

Mu Meng is still the most compelling female protagonist I've read in recent years! She's not the typical beautiful, strong, and tragic type; she's someone who truly grew bones in the bloody rules of the Dark River. Decisive and ruthless, calculating and strategic, yet also tender.

I've caught up to the latest chapter, and I think the author's Dark River arc is absolutely fantastic! The female lead and Su Changhe share a bond that transcends romantic love; they're like family on the same path. Her master-disciple relationship with the former Dark River patriarch, Mu Mingce, is incredibly poignant 😢 She sees him as both a teacher and a father.

The most touching fanfiction about Shao Bai and Dark River I've ever read, especially the series of arrangements Mu Meng made before and the Dark River members' longing for him, brought tears to my eyes several times. There's no system, no cheat codes, and although he's highly talented, it's not a smooth-sailing, wish-fulfillment story.

The rhythm is acceptable. I hope I can follow it to the end! I love the proprietress so much!! Is Baili the main couple?! The brewer and the proprietress are such a great pairing! The stubborn Mu Meng and Su Changhe who kept asking why Su Muyu, who was quietly watching her So cute!

This is the best Shaolin fanfiction I've ever read. Both the female and male leads are very well-developed. The female lead isn't one of those typical spoiled, overpowered characters with a system or a Mary Sue-like charm; she has a lot of personal charisma, and I absolutely love her. It's a shame it's a tragic ending, but it's truly a wonderful read.

To be honest, I don't feel anything for Baili Mu'an, or for her relationship with Xiao Se, or even for the entire younger generation. The reason is simple: her mother was stunning. Actually, after Mu Meng died, I didn't really want to continue reading this book, but I still read this far.
