[The Disguiser] The City

- Foreword (please be sure to read): The premise is that the eldest Ming sister dies protecting Ming Lou, while Ming Tai boards a train out of Shanghai. But after waking in a daze at midnight, he finds himself back on the night Wang Tianfeng abducted him and took him to the Military Statistics Bureau. - The story is about how the Ming brothers prevent the original dead-end plan in this parallel world and achieve a happy ending for everyone (though not everyone can survive, it will still be a happy ending). - This is not a rebirth story. The three Ming brothers and their teacher all have memories of another world, the original world, but Lou Cheng's memories of it are very vague. They can't be sure that those memories describe the future they are about to face. Ming Tai, however, is certain that his memories of that world, the original one, are real, so he does his best to avoid following the same path. And so the story begins, hahaha. - The couples are Tian Tai and Lou Cheng. The two pairs should get roughly equal attention in the story. - I've spent quite a while thinking through the plot. There are schemes and intrigue, though I feel there may still be some holes. The story is semi-AU. - Smut, depending on my mood (... LOFTER link
