After Ye Dange, once the mighty general who "shook the Hu for fifteen years with a single ride," gave his life for his country, the world gained an opera house called Crane's Return Pavilion. The pavilion's owner, Ye Ran, seems gentle and refined, a paragon of virtue with an unremarkable appearance. In truth, his heart is as deep as an abyss, his subordinates are everywhere, and he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He often gets caught up in cases that shake the world, standing on the very edge of a knife, yet he always manages to escape danger at the last moment and come back from the brink of death. Most suspicious of all, Ye Ran always manages to show up at crime scenes ahead of time, making wild claims and seeing right through what happened. After dozens of "chance encounters," Kaifeng Prefecture's paragon of righteousness and chivalry, Zhan Zhao, knitted his brows. Su Mengzhen, a model of patriotism and duty in Bianjing, grew increasingly suspicious. Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, Gu Long's protagonists who are "followed everywhere by trouble and blame, accompanied by bad friends and lies alike," were also astounded! As everyone looked on suspiciously, the prime suspect and the top name on both the red and black lists, Crane's Return Pavilion's owner Ye Ran, smiled serenely, turned around, and bolted! Lu Xiaofeng | Chu Liuxiang | Su Mengzhen | Zhan Zhao | Li Xunhuan: Young hero, please stop! ** One building from the start, and all the staff have to be scraped together? After enduring the hatred of a fallen nation and family, Ye Dange faked her death and came back to life. All she wanted was to keep her little opera house and spend the rest of her days in peace. But who knew what vengeful spirit Crane's Return Pavilion was suppressing, or which dragon vein it had disturbed? One day, the nine-dragon celestial orb instrument on the roof went clack, and a pearl rolled onto the jade, revealing the location of a case. From then on, time and space resonated, drawing in every evil under the heavens! Never mind the kidnappings, rapes and murders, disappearances, and drownings. There were also headless vengeful ghosts, deserted ghost towns, corpses that returned to life, one case of spontaneous combustion after another, friends and family coming back from the dead, and eyeballs rolling up to the window in the dead of night... One case followed the next, and one strange event after another came pouring in. Before they knew it, everyone was caught in the trap assassinations, frame-ups, blackmail; Death's messengers came to claim their lives, human sacrifices blocked their way, traps came one after another, their lives hung by a thread, and they died only to return to life. Let's see whether Ye Ran and her martial-arts friends can escape danger, break through the maze, and unravel this world-shaking conspiracy! [Little skit]: Ye Ran always claimed that Crane's Return Pavilion was just a "small business," "at the bottom of the industry," and "on the verge of closing." Then one day, while showing a friend around the opera house, the blood-soaked leader of the Golden Coin Gang threw himself at her feet, kowtowing and begging: "Master Ran, please... please, I beg you... spare me." Ye Ran (looking away) Friend: ?!! Ye Ran: ...Why am I still the mastermind behind the crimes? (collapses!) ** [Notes] 1. An ensemble wuxia story with theatrical elements. The martial-arts world is assumed to have performing arts. 2. Aside from cases like The Black Basin, the cases don't involve ghosts or monsters. 3. The greatest big shots often make their entrance in the simplest way. 4. The protagonist is skilled at disguises and voice-changing, with plenty of secret identities to use for a day. 5. Dange means crane. (Madness time) Haha! (twisting, brooding, crawling!) The niche of niches, the coldest of cold fandoms (rolling around, twisting, doing a 360-degree Thomas the Tank Engine spin!) If anyone reads this, I'll eat a book while standing on my head! (flings it open, shows off imaginary abs, smiles shyly, then immediately stands on my head, mwah mwah, so tasty, mwah mwah) Time to recommend my best friend's novel! Don't pass by without taking a look at my friend's wuxia story! What Should I Do About My Nemesis Being So Clingy? by Shui Zhong Qing Yun Everyone knows that Luolan Island and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons have been rivals for years. Their disciples often clash, and their grudges have run deep for a long time. What no one knows is that the poisonous miasma protecting Luolan Island was set up by the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, while all the herbs needed for the valley's poisonous insects are supplied by Luolan Island. Sui Wang, the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons' leader, has one obsession: getting Qiu Linwan to call him "Little Martial Uncle" again. But he teased Qiu Linwan too mercilessly when they first met, and never got his wish in all the twenty years they spent together. That is, until he happened to overhear a woman confessing her feelings to his junior and childhood friend. Only then did he suddenly realize that he no longer wanted to be merely Qiu Linwan's uncle in the martial arts hierarchy... Qiu Linwan thinks he and Sui Wang can't stand the sight of each other. Every time they meet, they get into a fight. They win about half the time each, but Qiu Linwan believes that if Sui Wang's poisonous insects weren't so bizarre and revolting, causing him severe mental distress, he could easily toss him back into the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. News arrives on the island that several disciples from outside have disappeared without a trace. It's time for the once-every-five-years competition in poison and venom. As the island master, Qiu Linwan decides to leave the island to investigate, and to shake off his increasingly troublesome nemesis while he's at it. But that bastard Sui Wang just won't leave him alone. He keeps turning up everywhere!
