[I'm gradually posting my completed manuscript for the original wuxia novel Night Rain, Sparse Lanterns, over on the neighboring page.]
[Brief Introduction to Night Rain, Sparse Lanterns]
On a summer day in the second year of Guangde, He Zigui receives a letter at the Bright Moon Residence in Zhaoxing Ward, Chang'an. It is only twenty characters long, yet it speaks of the whereabouts of his former comrades-in-arms.
The smoldering fires of war, the years that hurried past, all the turmoil and confusion: only the Red Dust Sword in his hand remains unchanged. When it is drawn once more, it carries the spirit of wind and moon, and the soul of the mortal world.
Old friends come and go; life and death bring hardship. Those eyes, tempered by fire and water and forged in loyalty, finally peer through layers of illusion and vast mists to glimpse the obsession entangled across centuries.
He has walked through the desolation of the martial world, through skies blanketed with war, and through the ashes strewn across these dozen-odd years.
Yet life is like a journey against the current. Where does the road ahead lead?
[Blurb for The Hanshan Temple Outside Gusu]
The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky. By the river maples and fishermen's fires, I lie awake in sorrow.
Outside Gusu, amid the misty rain of Jiangnan, she stands aboard a small boat in the middle of the river. She crosses the clear current beneath the hazy moonlight, the blade in her hand cold to the touch.
Dressed in pale moon-white, he crosses a thousand miles of mountains and rivers to reach her, the river breeze stirring his light blue robes.
"The world's affairs are in turmoil. With chaos upon us, no one can remain untouched."
"I will use the blade in my hand to protect this Rainy Tower."
A fated meeting, the consequences of years of caprice.
The night stretches endlessly.
"In your life, there will eventually be someone willing to stay by your side."
Together, you will walk through this long night. You will use the gleam of your blade to welcome the faint light of dawn.
Just keep moving forward.
Outside Gusu stands Hanshan Temple. At midnight, the bell rings, and a passenger boat waits.
Main pairing: Yu Chu. Secondary pairing: Ye Cheng, with Wei Guo, Xiao Dai, Rou, and Du making cameo appearances. (The early chapters' style is not representative.)
An ancient-style wuxia, medium to long length.
I promise a happy ending. Of course, I can't promise how many painful twists there'll be, or how brutal they'll get...
Theme: Those who care for one another will always remain by each other's side.

Record of Sparse Lamps on a Rainy Night
Ah ah ah, the author wrote about Qiu Fei in a big way. He is sad, sad, distressed and distressed. Qiu Fei, come on. Really, Tao Xuan and Liu Hao, give me the middle finger.
Qiu Fei is the same, actually, worldly things are funny. If Excellent Era hadn't had internal strife and forced Ye Xiu to retire, Qiu Fei would have been the best successor to Yi Ye Zhi Qiu. It's not that he doesn't like Sun Xiang, it's just very sad. He thinks Yi Ye Zhi Qiu should be Qiu Fei's. Of course I'm a villain. Qiu Fei doesn't care about Yi Ye Zhi Qiu. He is also now, at a young age, carrying the new Excellent Era on his shoulders and rushing forward. And I'm quite touched by the master-disciple relationship between him and Ye Xiu. Oh, really, I think Qiu Fei and Ye Xiu are so good together. Ye Xiu will always be the saddest when Excellent Era becomes like this.
Is it over? So fast...
[Du Ming sits next to him] [But the internal strength has already been prepared] _(:з∠)_So... These two often go out for trysts? Okay, very...
What do you want to do? [Take out a 40-meter sword] Speaking of which, a lot of characters didn't appear_(:з∠)_
Xiao Shiqin sat and finished writing. Ye Shen called Yu Wenzhou aside and wrote it as shouting. _(:з∠)_Be careful when playing with it
Not only them, except for Ye Cheng, the others have no sense of existence at all, and even the main CP's sugar is pitiful.
_(:з∠)_Don't do BE. Everything is easy to talk about. I just took a look at the supporting role column, and suddenly I found that among a group of actors, Huang Shao exuded a fragrance called single dog for no reason... I feel distressed.
Yes~ That's because of my status. Sorry, I have cancer on my hand! That's right, Xiao Shiqin set up the mechanic. It was Mucheng who led a small team out~ Mumu have to work hard next qwq.
[Even though Ye Xiu suffered a lot of infamy due to his status and the public opinion deliberately guided by Excellent Dynasty, there were still old soldiers who knew the truth and chose to understand and follow him. What are you? ["Xiao Shiqin is a master of mechanics, so be careful when facing him. And as one of the 'Four Wisdoms', he has a lot of clever ideas."] Mechanism master? [Half an hour later, twenty miles outside Jiangcheng, there was a canyon. The fleeing people were in the canyon, while Su Mucheng and her team were standing on the rocks on both sides. Team? _(:зゝ∠)_Seeing the attack on the royal capital, Ye Cheng felt a little complicated... Ye Cheng felt warm~! Mumu is happy to be ranked first! Hope it can keep up! Together with Ye Shen~~
