At twenty-four, after living a whole life, Shui Mei finally realized she had been the punchline of a joke. She had been kidnapped as a child and sold to an opera troupe. The heir of the Runan family bought her freedom to keep her as his mistress. With no other choice, she had to cling to him like a creeping vine. Only when he married a princess, the lost pearl from overseas, did Shui Mei see her own jade pendant on the princess and realize that the heir had stolen her identity to clear the way for his true love, using Shui Mei as a scapegoat. Before she could even see them wed, she was dragged away and beaten to death. Blood flowed across the ground and down the drainage ditch, soaking the red carpet. As her spirit drifted above, she saw that three years after her death, the Demon-Spirit Prince, infamous throughout the land, had gone mad. He slaughtered the entire Runan royal family, leaving rivers of blood, just as there had been when she died. Only then did she learn that she had been the monster's one true love. When she woke, Shui Mei was back at the opera troupe. She broke free of the Runan heir and volunteered to be sacrificed to the Demon-Spirit. To Rong Fengqing, the Demon-Spirit Prince who terrified the world and was cursed by the people. Everyone said that once she entered the prince's residence, she would suffer a grisly death, torn to pieces in the courtyard. But they didn't know she was napping in Rong Fengqing's arms, when she suddenly sneezed. The man held her carefully, his brow creasing slightly. The prince's residence was too cold in winter, and there wasn't enough charcoal. He would have to usurp the throne. One-on-one, both leads have had no other partners. In her previous life, the heroine didn't love the Runan heir. She was forced to become his mistress. Upcoming story: "Qian Dan, Kun Sheng" A hundred years later, they were buried together where they first met. Among the belongings they left behind was a flower-shaped note: This life of mine, I regret nothing about being born in Beiping. My only lasting sorrow is the bright moon of my homeland. I love only one person: Xie Yun. Upcoming story: "Sword in Hand, Slay the Peach Blossom" One xiao and one sword, a lifetime of purpose. For fifteen years, she lived up to her infamous name. Lin Chenyu, the famous white-clad young swordsman, was the dream lover of countless girls in the capital. Few knew that she didn't have the equipment. When she was sixteen, she rescued a girl from a pool of blood. The girl was as beautiful as a painting, with a peach-blossom mole at the corner of her eye. She named her Taohua. Taohua, newly arrived: "Master, actually... I'm the late emperor's empress..." Lin Chenyu: "Mm... Go make dinner." When Taohua was a young girl: "Master, actually, you're a woman, aren't you..." Lin Chenyu: "Mm... Go do the laundry." When Taohua was sixteen: "Master, actually... I'm a man..." Lin Chenyu: "..." Without another word, she drew her sword to slay Taohua. Taohua ran off, and Lin Chenyu continued her travels through the martial world. Then one day she woke up and found herself lying on the imperial dragon bed. The young emperor knelt by her bed. The peach-blossom mole at the corner of his eye seemed to glow as he spoke sincerely: "Master, this disciple only wants to repay your kindness. I mean nothing else by it..." As Lin Chenyu listened to him talk about repaying her, she looked down at the ropes binding her securely and fell silent. [Serious Blurb] He lived in a hell of hatred, surrounded by ruins after his clan was massacred. On a night filled with bloody mist and the wails of ghosts, a white-clad girl came with her sword aura blazing like a rainbow, treading the moonlight as she pulled him, still dripping with blood, out of hell. Later, he descended into hell again. He turned bloody storms into sweet rain, built palaces from mountains of corpses, and offered his own blood to extinguish hell's blazing karmic fire. The flames became white lotuses, and hell transformed into a paradise. Everyone said he was an emperor who saved the world, restored order, and brought peace to the land. No one knew he only wanted to cup a handful of clear spring water in his hands, to lure the moon in the heavens back into the mortal world. "At last, I've picked you..." He held her tight and whispered, "Master..." The heroine is incredibly cool, breathtakingly beautiful, and adored by everyone. The hero... is probably an emperor who's half wolf and half puppy. A sweet story with two equally strong leads. One-on-one, both leads have had no other partners. Theme: Promote traditional Chinese opera and bring back the glory of the pear garden.
