Synopsis

The Jade-Faced Yama, the Jade Qilin, a man who defies heaven and changes fate

The Zhang family had two pure-blood Qilins, Xiao Guan and Xiao Bao, though both were descended from marriages to outsiders.

Xiao Guan became the Zhang family's Qiling, taking up the Black-Gold Ancient Saber and shouldering the clan's mission.

Xiao Bao remained Zhang Lingjiu, roaming the Ninth Gates of Changsha with a black-gold dagger in hand.

Would the Zhang family's internal strife really sacrifice Xiao Guan?

What use were immortality and an undying mission? Without Xiao Guan, Zhang Lingjiu could find no meaning in living.

But Zhang Qiling couldn't run, and Xiao Guan couldn't escape. So he set Xiao Bao free.

Leaving the suffocating Zhang family, Zhang Lingjiu sought power and status, determined to take his Xiao Guan back. But by a twist of fate, he joined the Ninth Gates and became Fourth Master.

Once you enter this gate, there's no turning back.

The man he casually saved became the Buddha Lord, and insisted on repaying his kindness by giving himself to him.

A charming opera singer met a heartless swordsman. The singer fell into character, and one song sealed their longing for each other.

He took Chen Pi as his apprentice, believing that the notorious pair of evil master and disciple had all of Changsha in fear. He never realized his apprentice planned to betray and destroy him.

The loyal yet ruthless Zhang Lingjiu and the righteous Wu Laogou became sworn brothers, slaughtering every ingrate before them.

Only the Eighth Master saw through it all: “Lingjiu, your name is too heavy. No ordinary man could bear it.”

Hei Xiazi adjusted his sunglasses. “In the end, it'll still just be the two of us.”

Looking back on his life, Zhang Lingjiu saw himself locked in a struggle to the death with the Buddha Lord, watched the singer grow old, and never knew that Chen Pi's search for immortality was only an excuse.

At the very end, all he could do was sigh:

What a master of prophecy Qi the Eighth was, and what a man who could outwit fate by half a move Xie the Ninth was.

The Ninth Gates, three generations, another cycle...

Xiao Hua and Wu Xie, so much like the old acquaintances they inherited their love and devotion from.

This is a really good book! The plot is handled quite well. I wonder what will happen to the protagonist after Er Yuehong dies (that awful lifespan theory 😢). Speaking of which, I don't know why, but I really like the protagonist's interactions with everyone. However, the way he's coaxing Er Yuehong feels a bit like a fantasy novel about abducting a minor, especially since it mentions that the protagonist's age at the time was equivalent to 10 years old in the Zhang family 🤔

It's so good! A little bit angsty, but also very addictive. The odd/even dynamic is really something else; even though the brothers are inside, they still think the other is just warming up 🤦🤦 Er Yuehong's position as the empress, and the behavior of a mistress 👍👍

I've been following Dandan's writing since her first book, and I can clearly see that her writing has become more and more delicate and stable. The plot and characters are also becoming more and more believable, and the more I read, the more addictive it becomes. Yin Qiaomu, Qi Yu, Lu Li, Zhang Lingjiu, Wu You—the meanings of their names are truly heart-wrenching.

It's really well-written. I followed the author from their first book, *Yin Qiaomu*, to *Lu Li*, and then from *Lu Li* to *Qi Yu*. The author's progress is obvious. *Yin Qiaomu* had some minor flaws in its romantic storyline and character development. *Lu Li*, however, is absolutely fantastic. Lu Li, meaning parting.

I've been following the author since her first book. I've watched as Dandan's writing has become more and more delicate, and her characters more and more vivid. Occasionally, when I see these characters, it's as if they've come to life right in front of me. I've witnessed their joys and sorrows, their happiness and fulfillment, and how they've all gotten better and better.

This is the story of Zhang Lingjiu. He is Xiao Bao, the younger brother of Xiao Guan, and the heart and soul of three generations of the Nine Gates. He is the golden unicorn of the Zhang family, the darling of Er Yuehong, the future of Qi Baye, the light of Chen Pi, and a turning point in the destinies of many. He and Xiao Guan are the gods and faith of all the Zhang family members.

I started reading this book after the first one by the author, "Yin Qiaomu." The author's writing has improved significantly, and the characters have become increasingly vivid and three-dimensional. Young Master Zhang, a dashing and spirited young man, dreams of wandering the world with a sword, but the name Zhang Lingjiu carries too much weight, as does the responsibility of the Zhang family.

You finished watching it? How did you finish it so quickly? It was really good. The main character is the classic cheerful and lively type. The following may contain spoilers. I have to say, Dandan's writing is as good as ever. This is the same CP as the one in the second book, The Mystic Nine, which is also a CP that Er Ye has always had. It's Xiao Guan. Later there's Xiao Hua and Tianzhen.

The story of two little bitter gourds redeeming each other is so cute, Odd and Even Baby and Little Official.

This book is truly excellent, both in its characters and its themes. The idea of an "ideal world of freedom and fairness" really resonated with me. Xiao Bao yearns for freedom, yet he stays for his companions; his tragic childhood fostered his optimistic nature. The bond between Xiao Guan and Xiao Bao, and their inevitable separation, was touching. But the departure of the Old Nine Gates at the end was truly heartbreaking 🥺
