The outline is being revised, so updates will pause for two days. Updates will resume at noon on January 4.
"I am willing to be your sword, and protect your side forever."
A coming-of-age chronicle of a young general serving a dynasty in its final days and a proud, headstrong tyrant who turns the tide.
At thirty, Li Shenzhi is a tyrant notorious for his cruelty, and Ji Ling is a dreaded scourge who can stop children from crying at night.
At twenty-four, Li Shenzhi is the Prince of Yan who forced his father to kill his elder brother, and Ji Ling is the renegade general who conspired with him.
At sixteen, Li Shenzhi is the Prince of Jiujiang, whose brilliance is just beginning to show, and Ji Ling is his study companion, sharing his fortunes and misfortunes.
At twelve, they meet for the first time beside Taiye Pond. Li Shenzhi's hands are covered in blood, yet when he reaches out to Ji Ling, not a speck of grime stains them.
A bright white steed, in the empty valley.
A bundle of fresh grass, and a man as fine as jade.
A flawless white jade, and my heart as it was at the start.
Ji Ling: You're an emperor. No acting cute!
Li Shenzhi: Wah.
"The changes of Heaven are nothing to fear, the words of others are nothing to heed, and the laws of our ancestors are nothing we must abide by." - Wang Anshi
An ensemble story of court and martial-arts circles in a dynasty's final days. The protagonist is the receiving partner. An alternate world, so please don't nitpick the historical details.
The romance is a childhood-friends story about relying on each other to survive. The two leads turn the tide together, restore the realm, and get a happy ending.
[Content Warnings]
* An ensemble cast. Youth, growing up, and life.
* The first half is not a love story, but brotherly affection under feudalism.
* They are not each other's first partners.
* The dominant partner appears in Chapter 14 and officially joins the story in Chapter 24.
* Updates every day at noon. Any updates outside of noon are me fixing typos.

I've set up a paywall. You need to purchase 60% of the paid chapters to read them. If you can't access them, try buying the two chapters before the one you're reading, or come back later~
If you still can't read it, try refreshing the app!
Are you still writing... Super Invincible Universe Explosion. I like this article. The writing is superb and the plot is great. I'm waiting for you, Dad.
I've been waiting for three years, wait some more
Why did I click on this article only when I was a senior in college! In the past few years, I just missed the good time when my favorite wife was still in the pit, and I also missed the good time to support the original work I like. I really like both the article and the comment section, the writing is great!! I wish Dad Dou peace, academic success, and all the best.
I really like this article (crying)
Madam, please come back and write an article soon!
I really wanted to jump, and then I skipped directly to the last chapter. My feelings were not fully revealed yet. Oh, forget it, I stopped reading. The result I found with great difficulty has not been updated. It's too southern.
Waiting for the update to see what happens next
Hmm... I don't know if I will be able to see the completion of this book in my lifetime. May you have great peace and joy
Damn, you have to be responsible for your own work (crazy hint)
