A scheming sweetheart × an icy, arrogant man
Su Zhishui is an undercover agent for the demonic sect, posing as a healer who saves lives. While treating the wounded, she attempts to assassinate the seriously injured lord of White Emperor City, who is lying in bed.
At the crucial moment, the chief disciple of the Coldlight Sword Sect ruins her plan with a single strike.
The young man was born with a sword constitution, flawless as white jade. Beloved by his sect and respected throughout the martial world, he was destined to become the greatest swordsman under heaven.
To hide her identity and infiltrate the sword sect, Su Zhishui decided to make him her next target.
That night, the young man, who never touched alcohol, broke his rule after she coaxed him into drinking. Blushing and tipsy, he kissed her. His eyes held a tenderness she had never seen before, and he repeatedly confessed his feelings in her ear.
He said he was willing to give up everything and become her cultivation partner.
Su Zhishui didn’t believe him.
She didn’t dare believe him.
Instead, she turned around and stole the sword sect’s sacred treasure.
At the Sword Cliff, ten thousand eight hundred zhang high, the disciples drove her to the edge.
The young man took the full force of the sect leader’s furious sword strike to save her.
Even at the very end, he weakly clutched the hem of her clothes. His usually proud, bright face was filled with helplessness.
Su Zhishui knew he was waiting for her to explain.
To say she’d been forced, that she had her reasons, that she’d had no choice.
To say that when she closed her eyes and waited for his kiss, she had once imagined they could be together forever.
Su Zhishui said nothing.
Without looking back, she left and disappeared into the distance.
Not long afterward, Su Zhishui fell into trouble and fled in a panic, only to meet him again at a narrow pass.
The young man had died once and been reborn, transformed and no longer innocent. His gaze was cold and desolate, devoid of all the warmth he’d once shown her.
All that remained was hatred.
He said coldly, “I should have killed you from the start.”
Su Zhishui looked at the trembling sword before her and curled her bloodied lips into a smile. “Then why did you just lie to everyone and say I wasn’t hiding here?”
Reader’s Guide and Content Warnings
1. A bad woman deceives an innocent boy. A love story steeped in hatred.
2. The male lead is a good young man from beginning to end. The female lead is very selfish and awful at first.
3. The romance is the main focus and the pacing is fairly slow. The story follows the leads from their first meeting, through their falling-out, and then to their reunion.
4. I couldn’t find the story I wanted, so I wrote it myself. This is a writing exercise as I get back into practice. Please don’t read too much into it.
Theme: Too young to know love or hate, he gave his whole heart without reserve.
I'm so excited for this post! The first thing I'll do tomorrow when I open my phone is check for updates 😭😭 Ugh, baby, how can I put it? I'm an author too, so I understand data anxiety. But sometimes there's nothing you can do. Every book gets great data, maybe there's a lag, or maybe your writing will suddenly explode – that's not impossible. But I'm not forcing you.
As a seasoned bookworm who's been reading novels for decades, this is my second comment on JJ (a Chinese online literature platform). This novel is fantastic!!! I stayed up until 2 AM last night reading it, and even knowing you're resting until November, I still wanted to finish it. Keep it up!
Please, please don't do major revisions, please don't change the character's personality!
I really love this story. The romance and plot develop simultaneously in a very delicate way. I myself am often going through a creative block right now, so I can only wait for the few authors I follow to update. I hope everyone can stay in good shape and wish them stability.
Baby, I think your writing is exceptionally good…! Teenage boys and girls are the coolest! 🤩 It's good to relax a bit, just enjoy writing. It's been so long since I updated that my old readers might not even know I've started a new project. Good things come to those who wait…! It's exceptionally well-written!! 😳
Teacher, I'm Waiting for You is really, really good! Ever since I finished reading "Surprising Pear," I've been waiting for your next book... I can tell that the romance in this one is handled much better than the last. Take a break, take your time, don't rush! 💪
Holy crap, I thought the repairs would be finished by the end of National Day, but it went straight to the end of November.
It looks really good! The boarding students crave this every week when they come back.
No way! I've only been following this one book lately, and I'm waiting for a new chapter every day 😭
Please update soon, I don't even dare to read the last chapter.
