A Spark Ignites the Prairie [Butterfly Lovers]

In this turbulent age of war and strife, Wang Xizhi writes the world's finest running-script calligraphy, the worthy minister Xie An of Dongshan does all he can to protect the Jin court, Tao Yuanming, who refuses charity offered with contempt, chooses to retire to the countryside, and the talented woman Xie Daoyun of the Eastern Jin proves herself every bit the equal of a man... Yet the Eastern Jin's days are numbered.

It is now 384 CE. In little more than a decade, in 399 CE, Sun En, leader of the Way of the Five Pecks of Rice, will raise an army against the Jin, and flames of war will engulf half the Eastern Jin's territory. Meanwhile, drinking and metaphysics are all the rage. The noble clans dare not face the brutal reality, seeking brief escape in the haze of wine.

Yet tiny, flickering flames will spread across the entire Eastern Jin, because the flame of Chinese civilization will never be extinguished.

Romance blurb:

Guo Mingyue, a modern urban professional, is chosen by the biological supercomputer 008 from the future and transmigrates to the Eastern Jin.

She's a martial arts master, a literary talent, and... disguised as a man, she spends three years as Ma Wencai's classmate. What will happen between them? To find out, follow Xinghuo Liaoyuan, a Liang Zhu fanfic by Bihai Kuangxiang.

A love that blossoms quietly, and a love that burns with passion. Join us here to witness the romance between Guo Mingyue and Ma Wencai.

(Guo Mingyue: Love means giving yourself. A partner is a responsibility, and marriage is a sacred duty we must shoulder. Love, meanwhile, is the pure flower blooming in my heart. Ma Wencai: Bound together as husband and wife, our love will never be in doubt.)

The Ma Wencai in my heart is proud and arrogant, yet timid and insecure; devoted and shy, yet never willing to tolerate betrayal... I want Ma Wencai to have a true love. I want to tell him that love isn't a contest, your beloved isn't prey in your hands, and you... are not alone!
