A recommendation for my friend Bai Su'er’s danmei novel, Return to the Crossing!
[Guide to This Novel]: No romance, serious historical wuxia, set against the backdrop of the Eastern Jin and Sixteen Kingdoms. Plot-focused, with a male lead who has no romantic storyline. Steady but mischievous, and busy making things happen.
[The following is the blurb. Originally published on Jinjiang Literature City. Please support the official version. Thank you.]
This novel's proper title is The History of Jin: Biography of the Eight Winds, but I was afraid it might scare off readers, so I gave it a more approachable name. Don't hit me!
Say what you need to say, and get to the point.
Dynasties rose and fell, and the Five Barbarians plunged the land into chaos.
Fifty years after the southward migration of the aristocracy, the north and south had settled into separate rule. The unification of all under heaven was the prevailing trend, and Qin and Jin would inevitably clash.
367 AD
Fu Jian, the ambitious King of Qin, gathered the strength of six star generals and secretly attacked the martial world's sacred ground, the Tower Within the Tower on the Sishui River. He sought the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, the imperial regalia of the Great Zhou, hoping to contend for dominion over all under heaven. But the tower sank and collapsed, and he returned in defeat.
That same year
Ji Luo, who could not remember his origins and whose martial arts were a mystery, was taken in by the Lu family and brought back to the Luo River. He should have spent his days tending flowers and making do, but two years later, at the old site of Luoyi, the Eight Winds Token appeared. By a twist of fate, he stumbled into the affairs of the martial world and became entangled in the massacre that wiped out the Bai family. From then on, he was forced to wander the jianghu.
Over the decades that followed, strange and wondrous tales and every kind of person came one after another. At last, as the clouds parted and the moon emerged, secrets and schemes kept hidden for twenty years came to light, and the lurking conspiracy sent shock waves throughout the Nine Provinces.
On the banks of the Fei River, north and south faced off. With a choice that was difficult either way, where could they go from here...
[Ji Luo: I thought I was merely a witness to the turmoil of the Nine Provinces, never imagining that the turmoil had begun with me!]
[Reading Tips]:
○ The protagonist is a powerful amnesiac.
○ The protagonist has no romantic pairing, but most supporting characters do! Read with care.
○ The setting takes reference from works such as The History of Jin and broadly follows the historical timeline. However, this is ultimately a wuxia tale, so some details may differ from official history. History buffs, read with care.
○ The protagonist ties the story together, but it is also a semi-ensemble cast. Read with care.
Let us meet and share the storms of the jianghu, and listen together to tales of legend. Since fate has brought us together, Xiao Ji thanks you all. Having you here is more than enough to warm my heart~
If none of the above has put you off

Theme:
After reading the whole article, I feel the deepest affection for Ji Luo, and I am happy that he finally has no worries and can come and go freely. Although I don't want to encounter such a troubled world, I still yearn for such a wonderful world. Speaking of which, among all the characters who have appeared, I envy Bai Shaoque the most. His mentality is not generally good.
After reading it, alas, I feel very heavy. The plain writing style, but the profound literary and historical background is one of the best among the online articles I have read, so it seems more real. Every time I read an official article, I feel a little scared, because in fact we all know that the ending of the story has already been determined. This is indeed not the unrestrained and unrestrained world like Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, because this is a troubled time, which reminds me of Guo Jing clinging to Xiangyang City. The Eastern Jin Dynasty described in this article is not the romantic Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty in troubled times. It is really not that sad. Many people stepped on this stage to shine, and many people stepped down, but everyone worked hard for their own goals. There is no absolute right and evil, only good and evil, only positions. Even if life and death in peace make people sad, it is just the light sorrow of a boudoir girl who is not familiar with the world. In troubled times, gathering and separation are more helpless than life and death. Without mentioning the word death, it is also ferocious. Individuals are smaller than earthworms under the iron hooves of mountains and rivers, and princes and nobles cannot settle in a corner, floating on duckweeds, and their family and country are in turmoil. Fortunately, there are still people who are willing to steal fire to illuminate the darkness of the world. A single spark can start a prairie fire when gathered together. In the article, a large number of heroes end their lives, beauties are dying, including sects that have lost their glory. They are all like when Mr. Jin Yong passed away. Someone found that "many celebrities seemed to have passed away this year" and said online that "the curtain call of an era". But there are so many young girls who are unwilling to rise and fall, and have to struggle to find a way out in this turbulent and dark world. Some of them died as light as a feather but as heavy as a thousand stones. Some of them survived and saw the light of day on the stairs built with the bones of countless people. It's so real, so real that it makes people feel a little sad. Now that I think about it, those wishes of "seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence" are so difficult in this world. Like lotus seeds, they have gone through such a long and twists and turns journey. An era has come to an end, and some glory has fallen, but new hope will eventually rise. This is the endless life of human beings and the most valuable part in troubled times - "inheritance." In fact, there is no history that is not cruel, because it is the weight of time, but I still thank the author for creating such a magnificent world of rivers and lakes, which allows people to see the brilliance of humanity that still shines in the darkness.
I still hope that Ji Luo knows that Fu Jian of Knife Valley does not want Ji Luo to die. Although whether he knows or not will not affect the overall situation, he still does not want Ji Luo to misunderstand. After all, the human heart is not a stone.
The wind and clouds are gathering, and it feels like a finale.
After reading it, I felt melancholy. I watched it from a friend's MP4. I stayed up all night several times and it was dark now. I finished watching it. But I really wanted to review it (I was crazy), so I bought my first full-length novel. I wanted to review it with five stars, and I wanted to be better to Xiao Luoer. I feel very sad and complicated. I can't say that the author's wife doesn't love him, but I think, if possible, I can love him more. I was already very interested when I saw the beginning of the copy. Furthermore, I also like the words "Ji" and "Luo" very much, which aroused great interest. I really liked it when I saw that little Luoer was ignorant at first, a smart boy, innocent in appearance, filled with black sesame seeds, and a bit cold noodle cuteness. He had a bumpy journey, saw separation and hatred, and finally grew up and changed. There is a sense of joy that "my son has just grown up." Madam, please don't deliberately subtract the details of Xiao Luoer. Can't you write about the changes in his outline, eyes, and demeanor after the time jump? I really want to feel his every development and describe him in more detail in my mind. I want to see more about him. It's a pity that this is a group portrait article [Split]. There are too many supporting characters. Their stories are indeed good, but they should be half as long, right? Moreover, most of them have love entanglements. I came here specifically to read non-CP articles, but I was fed another mouthful of dog food [split]. I came here for Ji Luo, knowing that the future might be really unpleasant and bumpy, so I endured reading more than 130 chapters. When telling my friends, I couldn't help but complain that our little Luo'er is too much like a soy sauce, right? My friend suggested that I stop reading, but I said no, I must see the highlight of Xiao Luoer! I especially read the novels with male protagonists without cp. In fact, it is because I have been relying on reading novels to continuously describe and perfect the shadow in my heart, and I am a protagonist controller, so I pay special attention to the protagonist's every move, chewing on the text, and staring at him. I am happy when he appears, but his length is not very long, and it really plays the role of threading the needle. So, he dimmed. Not to mention the supporting role of Shi Ang, who is already very important, but also Xie Xu, the great monk (my biggest highlight is the monk), and Li Zhouyang. These multiple lines running in parallel for many chapters are really annoying, so I skipped them (I don't like to skip reading), so it was miserable. . . Moreover, why aren't more descriptions given to Xiao Luoer and are inconsistent? At first, I thought he was a handsome boy who couldn't tell the difference between male and female (I don't like it much), but later the adjective was "Qingjun". When I told my friends, I said he must look good, but the last chapter said it was average, and I felt a little pain in my face. In fact, what makes me aggrieved is that there is a feeling that the author is deliberately suppressing Xiao Luo'er. I mentioned before that the author is so high up the mountain and unfathomable, which makes me yearn for the mystery (I am a local dog, I love this tone). The reasoning, the highlight of the sword fight in the Emperor's Pavilion and Chang'an's fame are amazing, but some parts feel bland and some are inexplicable. Obviously what they are doing is not good. It is qualified to impress a certain celebrity or character, but they just praised it. After recovering the memory, it is obvious that Xiao Luoer has gone through many vicissitudes of life. The author's writing is indeed worthy of praise, but is the ending a bit hasty? Alas, no matter what, I cannot deny that this is a really good novel, which made me deeply immersed in that magnificent and pleasant world, and was fascinated by the soul-stirring stories. Each of them is the protagonist of his own life, with ideals in mind, family and country in mind, and living stubbornly and hard.
Woohoo, finished reading
Although Jiang Xia is hateful, I don't think Luo Luo should kill him. Even if he was going to die, someone else would do it, and Luo Luo would kill him.
It seems that Huangdi's surname is Ji. This is really a surname with a long history.
The Battle of Feishui, I have to say that I am lucky to know the ending. However, I discovered that almost all of these battles in history where a small number of people defeated a large number had the power to set the situation and turn the tide.
The middle-aged and elderly love-hate relationship between Yu Mingzhen, Aan Zhang and Gu E deserves another book. In fact, Yu Mingzhen's true love is not Aan Zhang but Fu Jian.
The Yu family is indeed worthy of being the supreme king of martial arts. Shi Ang and Bai Shaoque, the two top two younger generation members, can't beat them together.
