   # **Chapter 1 Gazing into the Abyss** **"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!"** **"So…"** **"You can look, but don't look for too long!"** … **"What are you looking at? Go home and look at your mother!"** A shapely young woman, arms crossed over her chest, angrily berated Mo Fei, her eyes filled with disgust. Mo Fei was taken aback, then looked away, awkwardly touching his nose. He had simply been standing on the subway platform, lost in thought, his gaze unconsciously falling on her, never expecting to be mistaken for a perverted peeping tom. Several other passengers waiting for the train glanced at him, some chuckling softly, others casting disdainful looks. Mo Fei shrugged and turned to walk towards the waiting area of another carriage. **"The abyss?"** He chuckled inwardly, **"I don't even have the right to look at people, let alone gaze into the abyss."** Just then, the whooshing sound of the subway approaching grew louder, the blinding headlights illuminating the deep tunnel. Mo Fei stood outside the yellow line, looking down at his toes. "If I take one step forward now..." The thought flashed through his mind, and his body unconsciously leaned forward slightly. Suddenly, a hand grabbed the back of his collar, pulling him back abruptly. "Dude, the train hasn't even stopped yet, in such a hurry to be reborn?" Mo Fei turned around and saw a young man in a baseball cap frowning at him, his eyes filled with wariness and inquiry. Mo Fei opened his mouth, about to explain, but the subway had already come to a smooth stop, the doors opening with a "whoosh." The man in the baseball cap released his hand, patted Mo Fei's shoulder, and said casually but meaningfully: "Staring into the abyss for too long, you're likely to fall in." With that, he turned and squeezed into the carriage, quickly disappearing into the crowd. Mo Fei stood there, staring blankly at the crowded figures in the carriage. "Fall in...?" He smiled to himself, then finally stepped into the subway. The doors closed, the train slowly started moving, and headed into the depths of the dark tunnel.

    [Ancient Chinese Romance Novel | "Easy to Gain Fame" - A Life Together Through the Ordinary] The morning light is soft, a porcelain bowl holds warm porridge. She is dressed simply, without makeup, her features exquisite. A gentle scolding, "Don't daydream," fills the room with spring. Her husband leans against the table, idly chewing on a toothpick, and asks with a smile, "Would you like me to see you off?" Though years have taken their toll and his belly has rounded, the tenderness in his eyes remains as youthful as ever. The little girl, charming and vying for affection, her sweet voice cannot hide the deep love they've shared for ten years—he, the handsome young man who once rode across the streets on horseback, now cooks for her; she, once a renowned lady of the capital, willingly sets aside her finery and ties herself to a simple life. An ordinary morning scene, yet more tender than the dramatic "painted eyebrows" of a play, a love story found in the mundane details of daily life, a romance that surpasses even the most extravagant courtesans. Where, then, can one find such a perfect couple? And look at the kiss he gave her when he tied her hair in "Easy to Gain Fame," the candle she trimmed when she left the light on for him—the sweetness brewed from the everyday life of the city is more intoxicating than fine wine 🌿 (Suggested illustration: a traditional Chinese style hand-drawn Q-version family portrait, with a woman holding a spoon and glaring at him, a man smiling and holding a young girl, and peach blossoms fluttering outside the window)

    "Slap—" Qin's father's large hand slapped Qin Xin hard across the face. It hurt, it hurt terribly. Even her ears were ringing. Qin Haozhong's mouth opened and closed, but Qin Xin couldn't hear what he was saying. She could only read dissatisfaction, disgust, and resentment in his ferocious, furious expression. Her left cheek burned, and her mouth tasted of rust; her gums were probably bleeding. "You dared to participate in that kind of competition behind my back!" Qin Haozhong's roar finally pierced through the ringing in her ears, "What kind of girl learns martial arts! It's shameful!" Qin Xin lowered her head, her right hand unconsciously rubbing the bruise on her left wrist—it was from an accidental bump during training last week. She hadn't dared tell her father that she had secretly studied martial arts for three years, much less that she had participated in the city's youth martial arts championship today. "Speak! Are you mute?" Qin Haozhong grabbed Qin Xin's collar and dragged her close. The strong smell of alcohol hit her face, making her stomach churn. "I... I just..." Qin Xin's voice was barely audible. "Just what?" Qin Haozhong sneered, "Just that you don't respect me, your father?" He released her and shoved Qin Xin hard. She staggered a few steps, her back slamming heavily against the wall, a sharp pain shooting through her spine. The family photo hanging on the wall was jolted to one side, her mother's gentle smile in the photo now looking so ironic—if her mother were still here, would things be different? "Go back to your room!" Qin Haozhong pointed to the stairs, "From today onwards, you're not allowed to step out of the house! I've already arranged for you to be excused from school, stay home and reflect on your actions!" Qin Xin bit her lower lip and silently went upstairs. Halfway up, she heard her father on the phone: "... Yes, disqualify her from all competitions... I'm her father, what I say goes..." Her heart sank. After the competition today, Coach Chen, one of the judges, specifically sought her out, saying that her Tai Chi showed great potential and he wanted to take her as a disciple. That was the first time she felt that she might have a different future, not just the "study hard and marry well" that her father had planned. Closing the door, Qin Xin finally let her tears fall. She gently touched her swollen left cheek and gasped. The girl in the mirror had half her face flushed, her eyes glistening with tears, her black ponytail undone, and a few strands of hair clinging to her wet cheek. She pulled an old shoebox from under the bed, inside which were neatly arranged several martial arts magazines, a red hairband, and today's competition number—"Number 47, Qin Xin." Her fingers lightly traced the number, and she recalled the feeling of standing on the competition field: the spotlight shining on her, the surrounding silence so profound she could hear her own heartbeat, then the music starting, and her body automatically stretching out in the movements she remembered... "Bang!" The door was kicked open violently, and Qin Xin hurriedly shoved the shoebox back under the bed, but it was too late. "What's this?" Qin Haozhong grabbed the shoebox, scattering the magazines and number box all over the floor. His face flushed crimson, veins bulging on his forehead. "Did I tell you to learn these things? Huh?" "Dad, I really like martial arts..." Qin Xin whispered in defense. "Like?" Qin Haozhong sneered, starting to tear at the magazine. "What good is it if you like it? What future can a girl have learning these things? Who will dare to marry you in the future?" The sound of tearing pages cut into Qin Xin's heart like a knife. When her father picked up the number plate, she didn't know where the courage came from, and lunged forward to snatch it back. "Give it back to me!" Qin Haozhong clearly hadn't expected his usually docile daughter to resist. He paused for a moment, then erupted in fury: "You've gone too far!" He raised his hand high. Qin Xin instinctively closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come. But the expected slap didn't come. She opened her eyes and saw her father's hand frozen in mid-air, his expression changing from anger to some complex emotion she couldn't understand. "You... You're just as stubborn as your mother." Qin Haozhong's voice suddenly lowered, trembling slightly. "She was like that back then... Insisting on her choices..." Qin Xin held her breath. Her father almost never mentioned her mother, the woman who left home when she was five and never returned. Qin Haozhong seemed to suddenly come to his senses, his eyes hardening again: "Anyway, don't touch these again!" He tore the number plate in half and threw it on the ground. "If there's a next time, I'll break your legs!" The door slammed shut again. Qin Xin knelt on the ground, her trembling fingers piecing together the torn number plate. Tears dripped onto the paper, blurring the numbers. It was late at night, and Qin Xin lay in bed, the pain in her cheek keeping her awake. Occasionally, the sound of a car passing by could be heard outside the window, and the dim streetlights cast a thin streak of light on the ceiling through the gaps in the curtains. She quietly got up and pulled an old cell phone from deep inside the wardrobe—a secondhand phone she'd bought with her saved lunch money, usually hidden in the pocket of her winter coat where no one would ever look. There was an unread text message on the screen, sent by "Coach Chen," and dated two hours ago: "Qin Xin, your performance was excellent. See you at the martial arts gym tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM to discuss the special training. Don't let your father know." Qin Xin stared at the message for a long time, her heart pounding. She should refuse; her father had already warned her. But a voice inside her screamed: This is your chance, possibly your only chance! Her fingers hovered over the keyboard for a long time before she finally replied: "Okay, Coach Chen, I'll be there on time." After sending the message, she immediately turned off the phone and hid it away. Lying in bed, Qin Xin felt a strange calm. Tomorrow, she decided to make a choice for herself, even if the consequences might be even harsher punishment from her father. The next morning, Qin Xin got up early and made breakfast, placing it on the table. She wore a turtleneck sweater to cover the finger marks on her face and brewed her father his favorite Pu'er tea. When Qin Haozhong came downstairs, his face was gloomy, but the rage from the previous night was gone. He glanced at the breakfast on the table, snorted, and sat down. "Dad, I was wrong," Qin Xin said, her head bowed. "I shouldn't have gone to the competition behind your back." Qin Haozhong took a sip of tea and didn't speak. "I wanted to go to the library today... To borrow some study materials," Qin Xin carefully observed her father's expression. "Midterm exams are coming up soon." Qin Haozhong put down his teacup and scrutinized his daughter: "What time will you be back?" "Before three in the afternoon," Qin Xin answered quickly. "Two o'clock," Qin Haozhong said without room for argument. "Also, leave your phone at home." Qin Xin's heart sank, but she obediently nodded: "Okay, Dad." She hid the old phone in her sock, easily concealing the secret with her loose school uniform pants. Before leaving, Qin Haozhong suddenly called out to her, "Does your face still hurt?" Qin Xin was stunned; this was the first time her father had shown concern after hitting her. She shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore." Qin Haozhong seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he just waved his hand, "Go on, don't be late." As soon as she stepped out of the house, Qin Xin started running. She didn't go towards the school, but instead turned towards the bus stop. Her heart was pounding like a drum, both from running and from what she was about to do—she was going to see Coach Chen, and then... And then she didn't know what would happen. Chen's Martial Arts School was located in a quiet alley in the east of the city. Qin Xin stood at the entrance of the martial arts school, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open. The room was brightly lit, and several students were practicing basic skills scattered on the wooden floor. Coach Chen—a lean man in his fifties—was instructing a boy in the corner. Seeing Qin Xin, Coach Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over, "You're here." His gaze fell on the finger marks that Qin Xin's turtleneck sweater couldn't completely cover, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't ask anything. "Hello, Coach Chen." Qin Xin bowed. "Come with me." Coach Chen led her through the training area to a small office in the backyard. The walls were covered with certificates and photos from various martial arts competitions, and several well-worn martial arts books sat on the table. Coach Chen poured Qin Xin a glass of water and went straight to the point: "I watched your competition yesterday. Your Tai Chi has a lot of spirit; it doesn't seem like you've only studied it for three years." Qin Xin held the glass of water, the warmth seeping through the glass to her cold fingertips: "I... I learned it on my own by watching videos, and then I found a training class." "On your own?" Coach Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise. "No wonder some of your movements aren't perfect, but that kind of spirit... It's hard to teach." He paused. "Your father doesn't approve of you learning martial arts?" Qin Xin subconsciously touched her left cheek and didn't answer. Coach Chen sighed. "I guessed so. Qin Xin, I'd like to invite you to join my special training program, which will last for two years. You'll live and eat at the martial arts school. If you perform well, I can recommend you for the provincial team selection." Qin Xin's eyes widened. "Provincial... Provincial team?" "You have the potential," Coach Chen said seriously, "but you need systematic training, and..." He glanced meaningfully at Qin Xin's face, "you need a supportive environment." Qin Xin's heart pounded even faster. Joining the provincial team meant leaving home, possibly having her own income, and even... Possibly no longer needing to fear her father's slaps. But running away from home? How furious would her father be? Would he call the police? Would he find her and then... "I... I need to think about it," Qin Xin said softly. Coach Chen nodded. "Of course. But time is running out; the special training program starts next week. If you decide to come, bring your necessary personal items and arrive here at eight o'clock on Saturday morning." He handed Qin Xin a business card. "Contact me anytime if you have any questions." As she left the martial arts school, Qin Xin's mind was in turmoil. She sat on the bus, watching the street scenes flash by outside the window, recalling the first time she was beaten as a child—she had accidentally knocked over her father's wine glass. Her mother was still there and rushed to protect her, but her father beat her mother as well. That was her mother's first and last act of resistance... The bus arrived at the stop, and Qin Xin mechanically got off and walked towards the library. She needed a quiet place to think. The library's study area was almost empty. She found a corner to sit down, took out her notebook, and pretended to study, but actually scribbled on the paper: Stay: - Familiar environment - Studies (but her father might not let her go to university) - ... Nothing else Leave: - Can concentrate on martial arts training - Possibly enter the provincial team - Away from her father's violence But: - Her father would be angry - Possibly brought back - No source of income The pen tip poked a hole in the paper. Qin Xin bit her lip until she tasted blood. She remembered the torn number tag from yesterday, the feeling of freedom during each competition, Coach Chen's words about the "provincial team"... A tissue was handed to her. Qin Xin looked up and saw a girl with glasses looking at her with concern: "Are you... Alright?" Qin Xin then realized she was crying. She took the tissue and forced a smile: "Thank you, I'm fine." The girl with glasses hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice: "If you need help... I mean, you can call the police for domestic violence." Qin Xin froze. Was it that obvious? She subconsciously pulled up her sweater collar: "No... I just... Have a lot of exam pressure." The girl with glasses clearly didn't believe her, but didn't ask any more questions, only handing her a slip of paper with a phone number on it: "Women's Assistance Hotline, you can call anytime." Qin Xin clutched the slip of paper and suddenly made a decision. She packed her bag and quickly walked out of the library. The sunlight shone on her face, warm and bright. She found a public phone booth and dialed Coach Chen's number: "Coach, I've decided to join the special training class. See you on Saturday." Hanging up the phone, Qin Xin felt a strange sense of relief, as if a long-standing burden had been lifted. She knew countless difficulties lay ahead, and her father would never let her off easily, but at this moment, for the first time, she felt her life was in her own hands. She arrived home at exactly two o'clock. Qin Haozhong was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, glancing up at her: "Did you borrow the materials?" "Yes." Qin Xin nodded, placing a few books she'd randomly grabbed from the library on the table. Qin Haozhong casually flipped through them, seemingly satisfied: "Go cook dinner. I have a business dinner tonight, I won't be home for dinner." Qin Xin silently went to the kitchen and began preparing dinner—even though she would be eating alone. While chopping vegetables, her thoughts drifted: How to pack her bags discreetly? How to leave on Saturday without arousing suspicion? Should she leave a letter...? The knife slipped, cutting her index finger. A bead of blood appeared, and Qin Xin stared blankly. The pain was real, but strangely, she didn't feel any discomfort. Compared to the slap mark on her face, compared to the wounds in her heart, what was this small cut? She quickly bandaged it and continued cooking. Tonight, she would begin secretly preparing her plan to escape this home. On Saturday mornings, after her father left for work, she would take her pre-packed luggage and head without looking back towards the place that might change her destiny. Qin Xin didn't know what the future held, but she knew that if she continued to stay in this family, she would eventually end up like her mother—either completely broken or forced to flee. But today, she chose to take control of her own fate. The setting sun outside the window bathed the entire kitchen in orange-red hues, casting a long shadow of Qin Xin, as if she were trying to break free from the constraints of this space and run towards the unknown distance.

In the Snow Moon Pavilion of Taoyuan County, Magistrate Fang Zheng was enjoying a massage surrounded by beautiful maids when his subordinate Zhang Biao rushed in to ask, "Are there any unmarked merchants ten miles away? Should we do another job?" Fang Zheng kicked him, "We're an official government, not bandits! We need to be professional!" But these words, coming from a county magistrate who rose to power by kidnapping merchants and forcing them to drink liquor, sounded like a charming contrast to his former life as a bandit! Who would have thought that seven years ago, when he first transmigrated, the people of this impoverished county were emaciated, and even the county magistrate and registrar were starving to death?! Fang Zheng opened up the market by getting merchants drunk with dozens of vats of liquor, and then took advantage of the war to "deceive and swindle" refugees, turning a poor county of two thousand people into a "half-paradise on earth" for tens of thousands—with casinos, brothels, and restaurants—he became a local tyrant! When a court inspector stumbled upon an auspicious omen and wanted to report it as a merit, he went to great lengths to suppress the news; now that his subordinates want to return to their old ways, he insists on "formalization"! Is this a case of a capable minister governing the world or a lawless madman, a reversal of fortune from bandit magistrate to local tyrant?

    I absolutely loved it! The characters were so vivid and relatable, the bond between the Nightfall Squad was deeply moving, the battle scenes were grand and exhilarating, and the plot was full of suspense! But what ran throughout was that incredibly inspiring spirit of protection!

    📖Family, I recently got a recommendation for an amazing romance novel featuring a wealthy CEO – "A Flash Marriage with a Little Darling, CEO Fu Spoils Her with His Life!" It's already finished, so you don't have to worry about the agony of waiting for updates! It currently has a 9.3 rating and 75,000 readers, which speaks volumes about its appeal! 💖The story's premise is incredibly captivating. An unexpected flash marriage brings the sweet and innocent heroine into CEO Fu's world. What was initially thought to be a marriage of convenience quickly turns into a "wife-spoiling maniac" mode, treating her like a precious princess. Whether she faces work challenges or family pressures, CEO Fu is always there for her, fiercely protecting her – the romance is off the charts! 👫The characters are vividly portrayed. The heroine is innocent and charming yet resilient, while CEO Fu appears aloof and domineering but is actually incredibly tender towards her. The age difference between them doesn't create any barriers; instead, it adds to the cuteness and sweetness. Their interactions, from initial awkwardness and politeness to later intimacy, are so captivating that every scene makes viewers' hearts flutter and brings a smile to their faces like a doting aunt!

    I recommend these three books 1. I just want to say that there is someone who wrote that he was the reincarnation of Li Shimin, while you wrote that he was his minister. Don't you two conflict? 2. The whole world can be yours, but you can only be mine. So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful! 3. A classic masterpiece, a top-notch manga adaptation. I started reading the book because I watched the anime. The characters are vividly portrayed, and the author's writing is fluent. Excellent!
