Brewed with Clear Tea

Blurb

Tang Yi is the only daughter of the prime minister's household, doted on by everyone. She opens a teahouse and establishes Dark Current, a secret organization, and life goes smoothly until her childhood friend and childhood sweetheart tie her to a red thread with an enemy she's never even met. Her teahouse is burned down, Dark Current is dealt a heavy blow, and she's forced to leave home. Things couldn't get much worse...

But heaven doesn't spare anyone. It seems she isn't even the one having the worst time of it. (smiles and looks at her childhood friend and childhood sweetheart)

Please note: This is actually a slapstick story with an antique, old-fashioned setting. It has both yuri and danmei storylines.

The two supporting characters are also protagonists to some extent, and may share the spotlight with the main character.

This story has a lot of original worldbuilding. If that bothers you, please don't read. Trolls and people who derail discussions, please move along. No need to notify me if you drop the story. Thank you for your cooperation.

Happy ending. Medium-long in length. The pacing is slow at first as things are set up, then speeds up later. It focuses on both plot and emotions, with melodrama and heartbreak.

The characters' values do not represent the author's, and none of them are smarter than the author.

If you're interested in historical danmei, check out the author's works: completed novels The Assassin's Lord and Immortal Lord, Stop Flirting, You're Going to Turn Me Gay, and the ongoing Eighty Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon.

Upcoming romance novel: I Won't Wear a Qipao (Republican-era romance).
