Synopsis

【Angst-filled romance + Republican-era setting + revenge + fate’s cycle through generations + dual narrative + bittersweet tragedy + happy-ending bonus】 Set in the Republican era, amid desolate wilderness and sweeping snowstorms. Angst-filled romance × revenge × the cycle of fate across two generations There is heartbreak and sweetness, hatred and letting go. The early years of the Republic: a snow-swept wilderness. A little boy is abandoned and found in the snow by a landlord, who names him Shisheng. He grows up alongside Xue’er, the landlord’s daughter. They ride horses across the wilderness, swear a blood oath beneath a giant rock, and promise, “Even if we die, our souls will wait for each other here.” But he is a hired hand, and she is a young lady. Humiliated by Zongyao, the landlord’s eldest son, divided by their vastly different stations, and tormented by fate, Shisheng is driven to the brink. On a snowy night, she kneels before him and begs him to take her away. He only says, “We can’t leave.” He leaves, and is gone for ten years. Ten years later, he returns with a body covered in scars and a troop of soldiers at his command, now the feared Commander Shi. But the woman he came back for is already married, a young madam of the Chen family. He wants revenge and to take back everything he lost. He wants her back at his side. But he does not know that some things can be reclaimed. Some people can never return.

Looking for Satisfying Stories About Revenge Taken in Full

I don't want stories where the enemy is still alive dozens of chapters later. It's annoying. I want a female-lead perspective, and she shouldn't be a pushover; she needs to have brains. No stories that pretend to be about revenge but are really just submissive-wife romance. Recommend something that fits, and don't blame me if I get harsh about irrelevant suggestions.

Looking for Realistic Republican-Era or Period Dramas

I like calm, everyday stories without awful relatives: just a happy family working hard to earn money and improve their lives. Keep the golden finger subtle, not overpowered.
