Reminiscing About a Certain Gentleman in the Xianping Era [Where Winds Meet]

This story is free and won't be moving to a paid platform~

Most of the plot, characters, and setting are original, but the main storyline, such as seeking revenge and searching for family, remains unchanged. I'm no expert on the history of Yan and Yun. I'm writing this just to ship the couples~

The heroine's main ship is het, with a little het shipping for Yan as well. Love-triangle drama comes later.

Not long after Taizong passed away, she returned to Bu Xian Xian. On the way, she found a young child, Ping Xi, who looked remarkably like Taizong.

When he was little, Ping Xi asked her, "Did you take pity on me back then because my parents had both died in the Northern Expedition? Were you afraid I'd be left all alone, so you took me in?"

At the time, she replied, "Yes."

It wasn't until Ping Xi was sixteen, when the current Jingyin sent over the belongings of Young Master Jin, that he realized he had spent his whole life serving as a shadow in that person's place.

Feeling that it was unjust, he left home and went to Kaifeng Prefecture to demand answers:

1. Who was Young Master Jin?

2. Who was Young Master Jin, and where was he?

3. Did Young Master Jin really look so much like him?

The current Jingyin took out a booklet and placed it before him.

What Ping Xi did not know was that later histories would say only: The emperor's younger brother's aide in Jingyin, a genius of rare talent and great bearing. The emperor's younger brother admired him, saying, "How could he be a magpie? He is a roc."

And he would become the first, and the last, to experience a love that history never spoke of.

[Reading Guide]

1. Except for the "Prologue," the rest is told from the young heroine's perspective ("she").

2. The heroine's "she" can be read as "you."

3. Dual narrative, with Ping Xi and the young hero both present.
