Tough servant-girl heroine & unhinged ghostly senior disciple & gentle, short-lived senior brother
Li Hao (Fuguang) & Wang Xian (Congdao) & Xie Yi (Zhuoyu)
On the thirteenth night of the winter month, heavy snow fell through the night. Xie Yi, the chief senior disciple of Chuitian Daoist House, fell to the dark path and was slain by his master, the House's leader, with a single sword strike.
Li Hao felt guilty and couldn't help lamenting his fate.
But it had nothing to do with her. She was just an unremarkable little servant. Her daily work was to sweep snow and wipe tombstones. She lived alone and had no one to worry about.
Until one day, a kind Daoist priest gave her a sword without a scabbard.
Li Hao looked it over from every angle, delighted with it.
But before she'd even had a chance to enjoy it, she was thrown, sword and all, before Wang Xian, the new chief senior disciple, who had finally taken the top spot after years as runner-up.
Help! A kind stranger gave me this sword! How did it turn out to be the senior brother's life-bound sword? I don't know anything!
Stealing a magical treasure was a serious crime!
But that was no longer the important part. She'd once lied to this killer to save her own life, and he'd seen her face.
There was no way she'd escape death!
Li Hao knelt on the ground, unsure whether to cover her face or beg for mercy.
Wang Xian strolled over with his hands tucked in his sleeves and used his sword to lift her chin.
"So it's you, Xie Yi's widow."
Everyone was shocked! Since when did their senior brother have a Daoist partner?
Li Hao: I'm not! I don't have one! All I ever said was that I was senior brother's lover! Don't go assigning me a title!
[Wang Xian]
Wang Xian took her back to his cave abode. He'd seen this disciple last winter. She'd said she was Xie Yi's lover.
Wang Xian didn't understand, but he was curious. The Xie clan had always been old-fashioned, believing in lifelong monogamy.
So he went to ask Xie Yi.
Xie Yi was silent for a long time, but didn't deny it.
So it was true.
No wonder he was the Dao Alliance's foremost rising talent.
He had a master, a mother, a family, and now even a wife, all so easily?
Wang Xian laughed softly.
Now she was his.
Wang Xian at the beginning: Strange. A man like him has a wife?
Wang Xian later: Strange. A man like him deserves a wife?
"What are we to each other now, Madam Xie?"
"My lady... My lady, choose me. Choose me, please..."
Wang Xian had finally won Haohao's consent. She'd agreed to marry him and join their names in a Daoist bond.
On their wedding day, his sworn enemy, Xie Yi, who should have been long dead, appeared at the ceremony.
Wang Xian watched as his wife ran to Xie Yi without hesitation. He reached out, but couldn't catch hold of anything.
What about him? In the end, he still had nothing.
Wang Xian would never beg for love again. He would hate instead.
"Haohao, look at me. Choose me. Fall in love with me.
It doesn't matter if you don't love me. Hate me, then.
We'll be entangled forever, for all eternity."
P.S.:
1. One heroine, two male leads. My take on cultivation, with lots of original worldbuilding.
2. A tangled mix of love and hate, with lots and lots of supporting characters. The heroine is surrounded by unrequited love.
3. Slow burn, melodramatic, and full of bitter romantic entanglements. Not a strong female lead story. Li Hao is the sole protagonist.
4. Ad space for rent.
5. Anti-piracy: 70%, 48 hours.
6. Rambling style. I write whatever comes to mind.
7. One of the male leads has a bad habit of using a pipe, mentioned once or twice in the story.
Below is the upcoming novel, [Chronicles of Jingchun]
Song Shu, sixteen years old, lives with her maternal aunt in the capital. Disguised as a boy, she has enrolled at the Imperial Academy as a student by privilege. With the spring examinations fast approaching, she's fretting over how to fake an illness and avoid taking them. Then, for some unknown reason, her uncle, a Judicial Court official, is thrown in jail and vanishes without a trace.
As the only "man" in the family, Song Shu has no choice but to step forward and visit the Chancellor's residence, seeking out the young master she's friendly with, the seventeenth son of the Xie family, Xie Xi, to ask for information.
Instead, she runs into the distinguished Chancellor Xie of the Xie family, Xie Shen.
--
Raised in a Buddhist temple, Xie Shen returned to secular life and entered the Grand Secretariat. Now nearly thirty, he entered the Buddhist faith through slaughter, and believes he has devoted his life to the Great Zhou. He wants only peace and prosperity, and is willing to bear infamy for a thousand years.
One day, he caught sight of a young man in front of his home.
One glance was all it took for selfish desire to take root in his heart. He was willing to fall into ruin for him.
"Song Shu, do you think I'm too old?"
--
As the adopted son of the Chancellor Xie, whose name was known throughout the land, Xie Xi respected and admired the man he called father, until he discovered that his beloved was being held in his father's arms.
"Third Brother, if Father can do it, why can't I?"
--
Just an idea for now. It'll probably be a historical romance.
P.S.: Of course, as a heartthrob, there will definitely be more male candidates than these. I'm also considering a gentle, sickly eldest prince, a young genius top scholar, a taciturn young general, a dashing poet and wild romantic... The whole roster's being called up for inspection.
Theme: Love and freedom must never be betrayed
Why not try to explain the current situation to readers? In fact, if you look at the comment section, you will know that there are still readers who have been waiting for you and appreciate and like your writing. For a new author, this score is not bad. What everyone always cares about is why you said it but couldn't do it, missed appointments again and again, and treated you coldly. The first time the comment section was very gentle, they were waiting for you. After the second time, there were still people leaving messages waiting for you. What about the third time? Do you want to repeat it over and over in the future? They just want to know if you are still writing, if you plan to continue writing, and if when will you be able to resume updating, you will still have to wait for you to adjust your status. I believe they need your honesty more than refunding money and need you to fulfill your responsibilities. They were definitely chasing more than just this one. Some were running very slowly because of the lack of speed of Kavin and themselves, some were taking medicine to recover, and some were in emergency situations. Rather than reading the comment section over and over again, it's better to announce your response to those who are still waiting for you: What's wrong with you, what difficulties have you encountered, and what are you going to do? It's better than watching the comments evolve like this in silence since the 20th. Anyone who has waited for you seriously three times deserves a good response from you.
I felt so uncomfortable. I liked this article, then Aiwujiwu liked this author, and posted a long comment to encourage me in Jinjiang for the first time. Finally, I went to Xiaohongshu to pursue my love, and it turned out to be like this to me. . . I don't know if it's because of you that I banned you today. If I hadn't apologized to you, but you did delete my comment, I feel so uncomfortable. It's really okay to spend this little money. What's important is the relationship. It's over and goodbye. I wish you a happy present life.
I think everything that can be said in the comment area has been said. Everyone took turns being the Chinese class representative, breaking down the truth and explaining it 800 times. Is it useful? So what if I saw the comments? Has it changed? What can I say over and over again? Since readers buy this article, they don't want their money back. They buy it because they like it. But then again, this article is not so good that they have to wait to read it. No matter how much expectation you have, you cannot withstand being disappointed again and again, and you cannot withstand repeated consumption. How long has it been since I kept breaking promises and not updating? Will it still taste good if I chew it again? Already dry. It's not that I can't follow the series, it's just that it feels too uncomfortable. There is a young author I am following now. Although she has very few data and readers, she is extremely responsible for both her articles and her readers. She may encounter pain when writing articles, but she will explain them very seriously and make promises. She responds to every comment in an interesting way and never evades or breaks an appointment. Who wouldn't like this kind of author? I think if you have time to wait here, it is better to pursue a truly responsible author. At least the love is worth it. I am disappointed every time I click on this article. It is really unnecessary and tiring. I'm here to read the article, not to wait unilaterally. Even if there are readers who are dissatisfied, they still speak for the author in the end and find steps for the author. To be honest, readers are really good. In reality, there are no industries that consumers need to coax and beg producers to do. No one can always accommodate. So be it.
Is there really no update? I thought it would be updated, but I kept repeating it, and was fooled again. Okay, okay, I'm stupid too, I have to come and see it. Alas...[Changed]
I had been holding back and saying nothing, thinking that something was really going on in my life, but it turned out to be this reason??? If the screen is broken, you must have a mobile phone. Even if you don't have a mobile phone, a really responsible person will find an Internet cafe and explain it to the reader (if you want to say that even the Internet cafes don't have it, then I really have nothing to say... That's it. It's a shame that I recommend this article to others everywhere.
Didn't you say you would come back on the second day of the Lunar New Year? Liar? I have been saving for a long time, but in the end I have nothing, let alone can I put a request for leave? It's not like I can't ask for leave. Could you please tell me? Very frustrating...
It's easy to delete comments. It is much easier to disappoint readers than to satisfy them. Be sincere, can't you? That's it, goodbye.
I really don't know what I want to do. I started to disappear again.
If you are so kind in the comment section, can you please refund me the money I paid for this book? .
... Can I solve v without updating? My dear friend, I have already solved [vomiting blood] in the previous book. Will the update stop after I keep it? I will refund my money.
