Younger man, equally matched, switching, personal growth, revenge
A fallen general like the setting sun & a proud, lone-wolf hostage prince
At fifteen, Huo Zheng was the most doted-on young master of a general's household in the capital of Great Yan, carefree and untouched by sorrow.
On a whim, he gave the Northern Border hostage prince, who sat silently and warily in a corner, enduring constant humiliation, a jade wolf he'd carved for fun.
At eighteen, his country fell and his family was destroyed. The capital fell.
His elder brother, who had protected him, died saving his life. The boy who had once been like the sun became a homeless fugitive overnight.
Burdened by a blood feud, Huo Zheng was cornered by pursuers. Badly wounded, he collapsed in an abandoned mountain temple, burning with fever.
Just as he thought he was going to die, a bloodstained curved blade appeared before him.
The person standing there had outgrown his childishness and was cloaked in a murderous aura, like the fiercest lone wolf on the open plains.
Mohelie took out the little jade wolf, polished smooth and warm from being handled, and rasped:
"You once gave me a little light. Now I'll repay you with my life."
The country has fallen and its mountains and rivers lie in ruins. The young master of old must learn restraint and decisiveness in a life lived by the blade.
The wolf cub whose clan was wiped out finds the warmth of "home" again amid the ruins of his hatred.
Mohelie teaches Huo Zheng how to survive in the wilderness and how to take revenge.
And Huo Zheng brings the only glimmer of light to his deadened heart.
"A Lie, we're going home."
"...All right. I'll take you home."
Returning home, at last in full splendor, carrying a long, loud cry.
Ten years have frosted our temples, as we toil across dark, dusty ground.
Let us raise golden cups to the moon. No need to speak of merits or titles,
for now there are only flowers and banana leaves to drink among.
Let us cry out to the heavens, entrusting our lives to a fisherman's boat.
Theme: Growth, love of country
A two-player plot will start later, I look forward to 🤩
Attack each other, still be strong, love 😍
Come on, teacher, your writing is very good.
Ariel is so reliable, he always appears to save Xiao Zheng at critical moments.
I've had so many experiences along the way.
Alas, the price of growth is too high
Will the next chapter be n years later?
Xiao Huo was forced to learn how to survive, one against his will and the other disappointed.
It's beautiful. The writing is great. It feels like it's going to be quite long. You can tell that the protagonist's relationship develops very slowly hahaha.
The protagonist and CP meet for the second time
