Synopsis

My new wuxia mystery, Crossing Swords Beneath the Bright Moon, is now available in my profile!

To prevent major spoilers from affecting everyone's reading experience, I've closed the comments section. Thank you, dear readers, for supporting the official release.

The heroine's story:

Bo Ruoyou lost both her parents when she was five.

Her uncles called in a fortune-teller, who declared that she was a bringer of misfortune who had killed her parents, and predicted that she would die before turning eighteen.

Claiming they wanted to change her fate, her uncles drove her out of the family home.

After she left, they seized her property and stole her betrothal. They took everything from her and waited for her to die at eighteen.

They waited and waited. Before Bo Ruoyou turned eighteen, however, they heard that her skill at performing autopsies and examining bones had made her famous throughout Jiangnan.

The powerful asked her to make the dead speak, and the nobility begged her to clear the names of the living.

And behind her stood a man who struck terror into the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

The hero's story:

He commands the Embroidered Uniform Guard and oversees the Court of Judicial Review.

Though Huo Weilou is ruthless and ill-tempered, and holds power over the entire court, he has nothing but contempt for women.

So when he first meets Bo Ruoyou, despite her distinguished family and peerless beauty, he loathes her as though she were worthless.

Later, he watches her delicate hands examine the corpse of a woman in red, solve a case involving a ghost taking lives, and distinguish the truth behind an old injustice...

Huo Weilou: She's amazing. She's really damn amazing!

-Mainly a mystery and crime-solving story. Both leads are each other's first and only. Happy ending.

-Entirely fictional setting, research-heavy. Anti-piracy measures in place. Please don't nitpick or dig around for sources.

-Author's Weibo: @Bo Yue Qi Yan

Message: Even the lowliest person can adjudicate cases and clear the wrongfully accused. Evil will always be punished.
