[Those days of being a promising new author are long gone. Now I’m just a lunatic banished to the cold palace. Ball ball, don’t save up chapters. The author has no basic attacks, no ultimate moves, only a passive skill: fighting one pit with another. Feel free to unleash your scorching abuse on the author.]
[The heroine is the sole protagonist. Whoever is around her gets scenes.]
[Words can be artfully deceptive, but what about sophisticated, complicated human beings? Stay alert. Only one person is telling the truth. Guess whether this statement is true or false.]
There are seventy-two bright gates in the world, each representing a different power. Yet in the legends told by all who seek them, above the bright gates lies a mysterious and ancient place where all waters return: the most powerful ruling class, known as the Chongmai.
The moon’s reflection shines across a thousand rivers; differences share the same source. The Yin and Yang branches beneath the Chongmai were originally servants. Over generations, they became opposing forces, ensuring the Chongmai’s absolute neutrality and dominion.
Centuries passed, and the Chongmai vanished without a trace. With their masters gone, the Yin and Yang branches were left unchecked, and the flaws in their bloodlines began to emerge with increasing speed.
During the Shou Zhu era, the Yin branch made a covert move, sending its elite to infiltrate the main family of the Yang branch. Their mission was to monitor its movements, reap the benefits, and muddy the waters.
Everything went according to the Yin branch’s plan, until...
The person who knew you best, the one you had to deceive, became an unforeseen variable.
[Reading tip: A cunning hare can have three burrows, and a spy can have three covers. Every faction thinks it’s the one lurking in the shadows, ready to swoop in and claim the prize. Look forward to more twists.]
