A Handbook for Observing the Dark Moonlight

[Two equally strong leads] [Happy ending] A seemingly kind and haughty, secretly head-ripping madwoman, the dark moonlight x A paragon of righteousness who turns into an obsessive, loyal black-hearted sweetheart for love

Ye Nanzhi suspects that Song Ye is a romance scammer targeting her.

She went to great lengths to get close to him for one reason: to use this blade to take revenge.

Everything is going unbelievably smoothly. Even getting close to him is going unbelievably smoothly.

Too smoothly to be normal.

Ye Nanzhi looks at the intelligence report her subordinate brought her:

Song Ye, the top disciple of Dayong Academy, is exceptionally gifted. Born into humble circumstances, he trampled a host of scions of noble families through his own efforts and became the hottest candidate to be the academy's next head.

Cold-tempered and distant, devoted to seeking the Dao, and never involved in the rivalries of the immortal sects.

Cold-tempered...

When they first met, the two of them fell into a deep cave. He used his own body to break her fall, suffering internal injuries, yet held on to her and refused to let go.

Distant...

Whenever danger strikes, he stands in front of her. When he bandages her wounds, his ears always turn red.

Devoted to the Dao...

He enters the kitchen to wash his hands and cook for her, remembering everything she likes and dislikes. When she ignores him, he only turns red-eyed and asks, looking down, "Am I not useful to you anymore?"

As for never getting involved in the rivalries of the immortal sects...

Ye Nanzhi looks up and quietly gazes at the figure ahead.

He holds a long sword, drenched in blood, like a demon from the underworld.

Behind him, the immortal sect cultivators who once swore to take her life are sprawled across the ground.

Song Ye's eyes shine like a river of stars as he stares at her with stubborn intensity, his voice low and bloodstained:

"Is anyone else making you unhappy? I'll kill them all for you."

He pauses, then speaks with a touch of reverent delusion:

"If everyone who gets in your way disappeared... would you look only at me?"

Ye Nanzhi looks at the black sword dripping with blood in his hand.

The sword is named "Unattached."

At last, she understands.

Damn it!

Has there been a single true word in this rotten report from beginning to end?

The road from an orphaned puppet to the ruler of the Spirit Realm is far from smooth for Ye Nanzhi.

Along the way, the world has raised her to an altar, then trampled her into the abyss.

She has hurt many people and used many people, and many have used and hurt her in turn. She used her blade to deal with everyone who tried to stop her, only to discover that she was just another blade in someone else's hand.

But on a road that even made her doubt herself, Song Ye never wavered. He stayed by her side all along.

When she would sooner turn the whole world against her than give up her ruthless pursuit of power and revenge, Song Ye stayed by her side and said, "Do whatever you want. I'll help you."

When her Dao heart shattered and she caused a calamity, becoming the enemy of the entire Spirit Realm, Song Ye stayed by her side again, shielding her from every malicious word before telling her, "You're just lost for a little while."

Even when she repeatedly schemed against him and exploited his sincerity, finally pushing him into the abyss with her own hands, Song Ye climbed back out step by step and still... returned to her side. His loyalty to her had never changed. "It's all right. My love will never disappear."

Song Ye was the smartest person Ye Nanzhi had ever met, and also the most foolish. In the end, he became the person she loved most.

Reading Guide:

* One-on-one romance, happy ending.

* The heroine is sweet on the outside and dark on the inside. She only has the "beautiful" part of "kind, good, and beautiful," so read with care.

* There will be a series of groveling-after-a-breakup storylines, romantic rivalry, terrible people with sincere hearts, and other melodramatic tropes in the middle. The author loves this stuff.

* The hero has his reasons for standing in her way. He's not being sanctimonious or deliberately opposing her. From beginning to end, he's a puppy drenched in a downpour brought on by the very person he loves. The romance gets a little bittersweet.

* This is not a case of a powerful heroine with an even more powerful hero. The hero is fully aware that the heroine has him wrapped around her finger, body and soul. She's the cleverest one of all! The heroine will grow stronger in combat and eventually reach the summit.

* There are lots of chapters already written, so read with confidence. Updates will be daily during serialization, with occasional double updates depending on the author's typing speed.

Theme: Proving the Dao through one's own life is the ultimate romance.
