[Dual Female Leads | Equally Matched | Beautiful but Tragic | Female Shadow Guard | Severe Injuries | Healing Happy Ending]
The hidden mechanisms in the courtyard prison suddenly sprang to life, and a storm of arrows tore through the air.
Zhaoning kicked open the cell door. Ignoring the crossbow bolts filling the sky, she threw herself in front of Zhiy - no, Zhiyoa, taking several arrows meant for the badly wounded woman.
Enduring the bone-deep pain in her shoulder, she dropped to one knee and securely lifted the weak, helpless woman into her arms.
Zhiy - Zhiyoa buried her face against Zhaoning’s neck, like a child who had finally found a home.
Zhaoning leaned close to her ear and soothed her softly: “Hold on tight. I’m taking you home.”
An arrow pierced her shoulder, her clothes stained with blood, but she held the woman tightly in her arms.
With no sword at hand, she seized one barehanded. Carrying someone in her arms, she fought her way through the entire corridor.
Zhiyoa was the shadow fate had cast over her life.
From shadow guard to younger sister, from a blade to a place to call home, through political upheaval and the chaos of a warring world, she was determined to protect the light that had fallen into her life.
Readers of novels about two female protagonists, female secret guards, and two-way guardians must not miss this book! It is a complete three-volume long narrative, from the biting snowy cold night in Tingfeng Pavilion, all the way to the warm rain in the Jiangnan water town, and completely completes the entire journey of the heroines from the bloody fight to the fireworks. The first volume creates the ultimate fateful pull. One is the legitimate daughter Lu Zhaoning, who is noble and self-sufficient in the court, and the other is the secret guard codenamed Eleven who lives in the shadows. The two people with very different identities have carved the sisterhood into their bones and blood while blocking knives, healing wounds, and protecting each other in desperate situations. Volume 2 begins with the battle at Yehuling and ends with the Palace Incident at the Winter Solstice. Zhiyao completely tore off her label as a secret guard and returned to her real name, Lu Zhiyao. She even drank Mugu Powder in exchange for her life. After experiencing life and death, the sisters completely recognized each other and joined forces to quell the Palace Incident. The injustice was redressed; The two men in Volume 3 were ordered to embark on a nearly two-year journey, traveling to many places to quell chaos, and finally ended all troubles in a decisive battle. After everything was settled, they resolutely resigned and returned to Jiangnan. The sequelae of broken arms, residual poison in the body, and old fractures have been causing recurring pain all year round. The scars all over their bodies are their unique marks of bondage, and the famous scene of the bloody Shura in the mine is even more tense. Sister Hua's handkerchief, broken bone bracelet, and white angelica silver hairpin connect the entire story line, carrying the murderous intention and longing of the past. In the end, the glory of the court is given up, and only the small courtyard is left with the fireworks all year round. Readers who prefer abuse of body and mind, life and death, and joy after suffering, feel free to dive in.
