Flowers in the Mirror, Not the Moon on the Water

[Serious Blurb]

After a princess becomes a prince and gets her revenge, how should she go on with her life?

That is the question.

Once everyone you hate is dead, and you are destined to walk alone for the rest of your life, should you live or die?

That is the question.

They say Black Impermanence claims lives, White Impermanence claims souls, and Meng Po tends to the living dead.

At Li Hun Valley, a legendary place in the Central Plains, souls may depart, but people never do.

At their first fateful meeting, who is seeking life, and who is seeking death?

Are their pasts and memories, like flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon in water, destined to come to nothing?

[Simple Blurb]

This is a love story about a mature, smiling, gentle young woman who is the top (or the bottom?) and a mature, icy, scheming young man who is the bottom (or the top?). They never say "I love you" and never make it official, yet they understand each other and stay together for life.

[Reader's Guide]

1. This story is a snow-white tangyuan with a dark filling. It takes place after most of the villains are already dead, so there are no drawn-out confrontations, only love and conflict, unfolding at a leisurely pace.

2. Their relationship develops slowly, with hints planted early on. The truth comes out and their feelings are revealed later. It should be heartbreaking, but I accidentally made it sweet instead... May good people enjoy a happy life.

3. One-on-one romance. Both are decent people who are straightforward and prefer to settle things with their fists rather than their words.

4. Complete. Feel free to add it to your favorites and enjoy reading.

Theme: Death brought us together and helped us understand each other; love lets us keep living with a smile.
