The Moon Over Jinghu Lake

(80,000 words, complete. Mutual pining, bittersweet romance, happy ending, sour before sweet.) A deal made Chi Lie the Prince Xuan, charged with assisting the young emperor. After waiting so long for the emperor to take power, Chi Lie was trying to figure out how to make his escape when he realized the emperor planned to kill the horse once it had carried him across the river. Talk about perfect timing. Chi Lie happily faked his death, changed his name, and went off to live a blissful life as a farmer. But he hadn't enjoyed that happy life for long when his archenemy, Jun Su, the regent confined to a palace retreat, suddenly raised an army and deposed the young emperor. From that day on, Chi Lie kept hearing all sorts of strange rumors. They said the regent had personally led troops to conquer the lands beyond the northern frontier, attacking day and night and refusing to stop even after taking several arrows, all to avenge Prince Xuan. They said the regent never slept, drowned his sorrows in wine, and wrecked his own body, all because Prince Xuan's death had devastated him. Chi Lie: ? People had gotten the wrong idea in a big way. The regent had always seen him as a thorn in his side and wanted him dead. How could he possibly be pining for him? Chi Lie sighed and put it all out of his mind. Until one day, the regent appeared before him, having gone several nights without sleep. * The regent, Jun Su, and Prince Xuan, Chi Lie, had grown up together. Jun Su had been in love with Chi Lie for years. Knowing he had little time left, he didn't dare reveal even a hint of affection to the one he cherished. Instead, he did everything he could to seize power, vowing to clear every obstacle from Chi Lie's path before he died. He had planned for every eventuality. The one thing he hadn't expected was for the young emperor to be so foolish as to move against Chi Lie, the man who kept him in check, while Jun Su was still alive and serving as regent. At the time, his illness had returned, so he pretended to have lost power and allowed himself to be confined in the palace retreat, while secretly sending all his trusted men to protect Chi Lie. But when he awoke from his coma, the news he received was that the emperor had joined forces with the northern tribes to kill Chi Lie. Jun Su forced his shattered body to keep going, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stormed the palace with sword in hand. He installed a wise ruler on the throne and drove the tribes beyond the northern border. He swept through the lands north of the pass without rest, racing against time to purge the court. Until he saw Chi Lie once again. (The most powerful, celibate, imposing, gravely ill regent from the imperial family × the wise, brave, openhearted, sunny royal uncle) #Power couple, both leads are gorgeous, mutual obvious pining, secretly in love with each other at first, happy ending# The title takes its inspiration from Li Bai: "I dreamt of Wu and Yue at your suggestion, and flew across Mirror Lake beneath the moon in a single night. The lake's moonlight reflected my shadow and carried me to Shanxi." It captures the mood of the poem.

[Book Transmigration]. Please add it to your bookshelf~ Synopsis: Yu Shiyu transmigrates into a high-risk world, the cultivation world, bringing along a farming game with a mobile castle. His "homestead" is bound to a cliff. At regular intervals, the "homestead" moves along with the cliff, traveling around the cultivation world. Because only Yu Shiyu can enter it, and because it can move, over time it becomes an urban legend in the cultivation world, a legendary magical treasure and secret realm that cultivators eagerly seek out. Yu Shiyu pays no attention to any of this, happily living a secluded life, until one day, an immortal venerable with an exquisite, moonlike face runs to the cliff at his home and jumps off. Then he discovers that this immortal venerable seems to love jumping off cliffs, and every time he can somehow ignore the mobile castle's ability to move and find Yu Shiyu's cliff with pinpoint accuracy. Yu Shiyu: Hey, is this some kind of scam? Could you jump off a different cliff? .

Until one day, he is ambushed by the treacherous Demon Lord and left on the brink of death. Rong Zhi would rather die than open the vortex and put Yu Shiyu in danger, so he resolves to self-destruct.

At his most desperate moment, he sees the "mortal" he loves pick up a broom and smack the Demon Lord, a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, flying. "You can come over, but why'd you bring a cockroach with you?" To Yu Shiyu, the Demon Lord is just a cockroach.
