Still Waters, Inaction

Original - Historical Danmei - "Still Waters, Inaction" -

Main characters: Gao Zhiqi, Shang Qianshui (a morally unconventional gong x a cold-bodied, demonic-cultivation shou)

Synopsis: The jianghu, a swordsman stripped of his martial arts, a young master imprisoned in the palace, a chance encounter, and a frame-up!

Blurb:

Gao Zhiqi, son of the owner of the Baitong Inn in Yueliang City.

Shang Qianshui, son of the master of the powerful Shangshui Palace.

One is unconventional in his values, handsome and dashing, with only a tenth of his strength left.

The other is innocent and bright, with a cold body and an icy heart, keeping everyone at a distance.

The reason these two, so utterly different, end up together is that they share one defining trait...

They're both down on their luck, and capable of anything.

In short, inaction.
