The Zhuye Pavilion series of stories is set more than ten years after the initial period of another novel "The Ballad of Mo Yun". Ye Yinchuan and Xiao Qingyan in it have somewhat different personalities and are still not the protagonists.
The Heartless Whip is the first protagonist, a story about an unrequited love triangle. Overall tone: Abuse?
The ruthless whip is not a whip, but a person. Written as "unfeeling", pronounced as "infatuated".
When she was chasing that person's back, she didn't know that there was a person, a person trapped in darkness, who spent his whole life looking at her from afar.
"I will never forget you, even if you never know me."
