[Zhang Xiaoyu x Wen Yi]
Bad ending warning! This is a derivative fanfic based on Zhang Xiaoyu from The Mystic Nine!
Wen Yi is the eldest daughter of the Wen family, raised in seclusion. She has received a modern education, yet cannot escape the cage woven by propriety.
Zhang Xiaoyu is an adjutant to the Buddha Lord. Beneath his mask lie scars that will never fade and the brand carved into him by the Zhang family.
After an unexpected encounter, two broken souls collide amid the chaos of war.
He carries the burden of his sins and past, afraid to give his heart away; she is trapped by her social standing and the conventions of the world, afraid to follow her heart.
Cold wars, suspicion, and a constant push and pull: though they care deeply for each other, they keep driving each other away.
But amid the raging flames of war, there is no one else in the world who can embrace their broken pieces.
She uses her tenderness to soothe his old wounds, while he risks his life to break the shackles of convention for her.
It is both a tribulation and a destined bond.
As they drift through the turbulent times, they become each other's lifeline and redeem one another.
But in the end, lasting peace is impossible in that chaotic era.
