Pei Yan'an first met Lian Jin three years ago.
At the time, she was engaged to Gu Xianzhi, an academician of the Hanlin Academy. When Gu was imprisoned for cheating in the imperial examinations, she knelt outside the Jingcha Bureau for hours, begging to see Pei Yan'an, the bureau’s commander-in-chief in charge of the case. She knocked her forehead against the ground until it was streaked with blood.
Pei Yan'an shielded her from the guards’ brutal blows, then coldly told her, “Go home. You can’t overturn this case.”
Yet later, for that very case he had said could not be overturned, he followed her through fire and blade, surviving one brush with death after another.
Lian Jin once thought she could sacrifice everything to clear the Gu family’s name. She could walk a path alone, all the way into darkness and death, without fear.
But at some point, someone came to stand by her side.
She carefully plotted to get close to him. He saw through her tricks, yet still silently protected her. As she pursued the truth through danger, he quietly shielded her from every storm in her path.
He cast aside his pride to protect her all the way, asking for nothing in return.
Only after countless twists and turns did she finally understand:
The Gu family’s injustice was a speck of dust in her heart. Until she wiped it away, she would never know peace.
And that man was the moon in her heart, shining with a clear, brilliant light, always illuminating her as she stood in the mud.

New novel: Return to Court
Fuying is the finest assassin in the Qi Kingdom.
Six years ago, she was ambushed during a mission, blinded, and left adrift on the streets of the Liang Kingdom. Su Xun, the young master of the wealthiest family in Liang’s capital, found her and took her to the Su family’s villa. Thinking she was a kidnapped girl, he doted on her for half a year.
When her sight returned, Fuying did not find Su Xun waiting at home. Instead, she learned that the entire Su family had been slaughtered.
Six years later, Qi and Liang make peace, and the King of Qi allows Liang’s hostage, Xie Lianyu, to return home. All the major factions spring into action. A bounty of ten thousand gold is offered to stop the hostage from returning.
Fuying is hired to assassinate Xie Lianyu. But just before she strikes, she discovers that the crudely stitched sachet at his waist is the one she embroidered herself all those years ago, with a good-luck charm she secretly tucked inside.
A journey of three thousand li, with danger at every turn.
Fire planted at an inn, poison in the tea, a bodhi branch turned into a blade, a boat waiting at a wild ferry crossing... Each time the candles go out in the night, someone never opens their eyes again.
Standing among the corpses, he asks her, “A-Fu, who do you think will be next?”
She wipes the blood from her face. “This time, I’ll take you home.”
Anyone who stands in our way will be killed, be they human or demon.

Theme: Light will ultimately triumph over darkness
Overall, it's good, but I feel that the ending is knotted too quickly. There is a big web in the front and the closing is very fast, which is not very satisfying. Moreover, the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is almost non-existent, and there is no very profound plot. Not as good as the heroine's relationship with Gu Xuanzhi, or even as good as the heroine's relationship with Xie Xun. But I am the male and female protagonist, and I have an aura over the male and female protagonist, which makes it a bit awkward to watch.
Awesome. The heroine finally started to show that she is attracted to me, Bae. Cry, cry, cry.
Recommended by Xiao 📕, well written, keep up the good work!
"Hou Zai" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
Waiting
It's time for the second brush, just sit back and wait for a new post!
Ahhhh, Xie Xun is dead! Why did he die!
As a Nanning person, I feel very warm when I see the word Yongning.
Well written, keep up the good work
Go in the direction where the servant is running away
Xie Xun is not dead! Very good! [Come on]
