   As summer begins, my heart still feels cold, torn between two places: one in the holy city, yearning for you; the other in the seaside, longing for you. My thoughts are unbearable, my pain boundless; the agony of longing intensifies day by day. I remember when you were not by my side, dreaming of you alone and helpless; I toss and turn, filled with regret, unable to sleep at night. My heart cannot be deceived; I will soon set off to seek you, to stay by your side. This is a beautiful passage from a story I read, a tale of a protagonist finding himself as he grows, and seeking justice for many innocent people. For some reason, it was mistakenly labeled as completed, but the comments are mostly negative, lamenting the unfinished ending. But wait! It's not finished! It's still ongoing!!

    🌵🌵Cold-faced bodyguard X Delicate little princess Qin Yi is an assassin, cold-faced and even colder-hearted. Killing is more commonplace for him than eating. One day, Qin Yi received a mission. Not to kill, but to protect Princess Fuguang—Ji Ning, the beloved daughter of the Empress. Qin Yi found it troublesome, because he only knew how to kill. On their first meeting, Qin Yi killed someone right before her eyes. The long sword rang out as it was drawn, blood spurting out and splattering all over him. The legendary Princess Fuguang, rumored to be breathtakingly beautiful, hid in the carriage, looking at him with fear. Her skin was like ice and jade, graceful and delicate, almost otherworldly. Qin Yi could see his own blood-covered reflection in her eyes. That night, Qin Yi had a long dream, a dream filled with the image of that golden princess.
