Gentle and Graceful

When Pei Rou was young, she met Ninth Brother and once believed that forever could be measured in days and nights. In the end, their love was deep but their fate shallow, and they became strangers. When he looked back, she was standing in the shadows, but his heart shone and burned bright. He was as lowly as mud; she was his salvation.

When he married, he was determined to grasp all the power in the realm. His mistake was failing to stay true to one woman. Halfway through, a delicate white lotus clouded his eyes. He laid down his butcher's knife but did not attain enlightenment. Instead, he descended to hell alongside his little white lotus.

Upcoming novel, "Moonlit Springs": The story of a yandere Imperial Preceptor and a ruthless Empress. The scheming Emperor ultimately loses to his delicate, soft-hearted Empress. At first, she was merely a pawn in his bid to seize power. Later, after becoming hopelessly entangled with her, she became his wife. She says, "I don't want my first love, the young general, anymore, and I don't want an Emperor who holds all the power. I only want you." Because in this world, only he understands the real her: her weakness and her strength, her cruelty and her defenses. They are neither the clear wind nor the bright moon. They are cold, piercing springs beneath the moon, unable to stop, carrying the mud along as they rush onward. He says, "You and I are made for each other. We were destined to walk this road together."

Theme: Cherish the person by your side, and fight hard to hold on to everything you already have.
