[The Blue Flame Blade] Chasing the Wind, Not the Moon

I reread this and realized the story has some logic problems, sob. I'll come back and fix them once I'm done with my next novel. Thanks for indulging me. I'll update extra chapters from time to time. I expect I'll be writing in the Blue Flame Blade fandom for the rest of my life.

Zhang Nian was fourteen, seven years after her martyr parents had died, when Long Baichuan and Liu Xiaoshan, Deng Jiuguang, her parents' comrades-in-arms, rescued her from pirates and sent her to her only remaining relative, Old Zhang, a forest ranger in the mountains of Northeast China.

She became sworn siblings with Zhang Chong, her uncle's adopted son, who could fight a bear with his bare hands at just eighteen.

At nineteen, Zhang Nian heard Long Baichuan tell the story of the God of War. Filled with admiration, she came to Beast Camp.

The first time he saw her, the God of War, Xiang Yu, had only two words for her: "Worthless soldier."

At twenty-two, Zhang Nian got married young.

To the God of War who had once considered her a thorn in his side.

*

It was a bet between Xiang Yu and Battalion Commander Long Baichuan.

"I bet she won't pass Beast Camp's year-end assessment."

Xiang Yu tried to drive Zhang Nian back where he thought she belonged by holding her to the strictest standards. He kept it up until he threw her into the marine training grounds.

That was the first time he regretted his decision.

Wu Gang was just as impartial and unyielding when he threw Xiang Yu into the marine training grounds.

Xiang Yu was twenty-seven when he got married.

To the soldier he had once looked down on more than anyone.

Note:

Two miserable souls finding salvation in each other, with secret crushes and all the push and pull.

Original female lead paired with Xiang Yu.

The heroine is nineteen at the start, and Xiang Yu is twenty-four.

Ensemble cast, happy ending, healing old regrets, original female lead. You don't need to have seen the TV series to enjoy it. The full novel is free.
