[Blurb 1]
A surly young man moves in next door to Zhou Jian.
He's a pro at smoking, drinking, and fighting.
Zhou Jian keeps her distance.
Until one day, he leans lazily against her doorway. The hostility has vanished from him, and he gazes at her with clear eyes. "Sis, won't you invite me in for a while?"
From then on, Zhou Jian has a little wolf dog of her own.
-
We were both trapped in the mire. You saved me, but stayed behind.
[Blurb 2]
Lu Xing: People used to say I was cold-blooded. Meeting you taught me what warmth feels like. You made me feel, just a little, that the world might be worth hoping for.
Zhou Jian: Today is so much like yesterday: the phone ringing, the noise next door, the boy in the cage. You made me feel, just a little, that the world might be worth being curious about.

Coming soon: Hold the Line, Senior Brother, I'll Go Ahead. Please add it to my collection!
In her previous life, Zhixia killed only one person, yet the righteous sects of the world would not tolerate her.
The twenty-four great immortal sects mobilized every last disciple to hunt her down, and would not stop until one side was dead.
After more than a decade of slaughter, she despised the ways of the world and scorned the laws of heaven. Once she had wiped out twelve of the great immortal sects, she was tired.
With no regrets, she fell into a long sleep in that icy, snowy prison.
When she awoke again, Zhixia had become a "cripple" who had lost her spiritual meridians.
Every senior and junior fellow disciple in the sect could take a turn stepping on her.
It was a life she'd never experienced before.
At first, she found it novel. But as time passed and the bullying piled up, even her mild temper couldn't take it anymore.
Before she could fight back, a young man in a green robe came striding in, sword slashing through the crowd as he shielded her behind him. "You claim to be an orthodox immortal sect. Is this how you bully the weak?"
In both her lives, Zhixia had never had anyone stand in front of her before. It was another new experience, and she decided to keep her secret hidden a little longer...
-
Zhixia's life was saved by Ye Tian, or at least that's what he thought.
He watched the frail young woman carry buckets of water, stumbling across the snow.
He watched the foolish young woman look dazed after failing to form hand seals again and again.
He watched the timid young woman raise a barrier for him, blood at her lips, gritting her teeth as she told him, "Go."
At first, he thought she was foolish and weak, and that he could make use of her. As time went by, the young woman settled in his heart.
Later, he saw another side of her.
And later still, neither of them could tell who was using whom more.
-
Zhixia doesn't know what this feeling is.
She's a demon and doesn't understand love.
Others tell her it's love.
But she knows Ye Tian loves her meekness, pities her frailty, cherishes her clumsiness, and likes her gentleness.
He loathes her malice, despises her depravity, and hates her cruelty.
The side of her he hates is the real her.
-
Fate crushes down, just as it did in the past. In the Nether Snow Domain, the people of the immortal sects carry out Heaven's punishment.
Amid the overlapping shadows of demonic fire, the young man from years past, dressed in white with brows dark as ink, walks toward her, just like yesterday. He raises his sword and stands before her. "Demons are cruel, deceitful, foolish, and kindhearted, but what have they done wrong?"
-
"Why do you wield a sword?"
"For love."
-
"Why is it wrong to kill people, but killing demons is called carrying out Heaven's will?"
Theme: In the first story, the heroine brings the hero out of the abyss. In the second, the hero discovers that Zhou Jian is in the same abyss as him. She does everything she can to save him, then stays behind alone. If the hero stands tall in this love and learns to grow, then the heroine breaks through and learns to be brave.
The author's writing is very comfortable to read
My tears are worthless. It's so sweet to cry.
The pen name of the male protagonist is broken down into abbreviations
Very nice, big, great, great
The ending of "Spreading Flowers" feels very ordinary. There is nothing dramatic, but it can still be plainly pierced into the heart. Everyone is real and redeemed in the darkness. Thank you very much. I like this article very much.
It was already late at night when I finished reading this novel. The love between Lu Xing and Zhou Jian was not dramatic, but it was a steady flow, deeply touching my heart, and giving people a sense of reality. Zhou Jian is salvation for Lu Xing, it is the salvation that pulls him from the gutter to the light. There is a sentence in "Young You": We live in the gutter, but there are still people looking up at the stars, but Lu Xing has no desire to look up at the stars. He is confused, has no attachment to life, and has no expectations. Until Zhou Jian appears, he walks into his lonely but longing to be loved heart. Heart, he tried his best to walk from the darkness to the light. He didn't care about the rejection of small groups or the rejection of good students. He seemed to be a person originally, but the boy's malice always came for no reason and was caught off guard. Lu Xing had murderous intentions more than once, but Zhou Jian could always pull him back from the edge of darkness. Zhou Jian was like a beam of light illuminating Lu Xing's chaotic life. Zhou Jian is salvation for Lu Xing, and Lu Xing is not the same for Zhou Jian. Before Zhou Jian met Lu Xing, Zhou Jian's life was peaceful, so peaceful that it was a bit scary. Mother Zhou's love was too heavy, and it was difficult for Zhou Jian to move forward. Although Zhou Jian left her hometown, her mother Zhou's influence was everywhere. Zhou Jian didn't want a life where she could see the end at a glance, but she couldn't resist until she met Lu Xing. She wanted to save this young man. Although she didn't like this world either, she still persuaded Lu Xing to accept it. Everyone has a side they don't want others to know, commonly known as the dark side. Lu Xing broke into Zhou Jian's dark side. From a certain point of view, Lu Xing and Zhou Jian were the same people. The two people seemed to have a magnetic field and attracted each other. Age was not an obstacle in their eyes... There was a lot to say, but some words were about to be blurted out but buried in their hearts. I really admire the author for being able to write such in-depth text and create such a layered character?
I can't bear to finish the full text!
Advertisement time Urban sweet text with fantasy elements, has been serialized, welcome to watch next door 1 Lu An clamped his tail and lived as a human being for 20 years, and finally waited for the opportunity to travel back from ancient times. The moment she came back, she felt that the car exhaust was fragrant. Fuck patriarchy, fuck slave society. Navel-baring outfits, short skirts, nightclub style, disco, get high. But this happiness ended at the moment she opened the door. The man standing upright outside, wearing ancient clothes, looked at him for a second, then quickly moved away: "It's immoral." Lu An:??? Who can slap her awake? Who is standing outside? The master she served in ancient times? "My lord, why are you here??" 2 Lu An worked hard for a few days, and finally broke out due to someone's fault-finding. "Eat my food, use my food, pick and choose, and carry bricks for me." The upright person sitting on the sofa stood up, and Lu An subconsciously took two steps back. He bent down and whispered in her ear: "Okay, wife." Lu An:??? Wife??? Where did you learn this shit?? [Small theater] One day, Lu An threw the newly received bunny girl clothes on the man: "Didn't you say it was immoral?" The man hugged him and chuckled: "My name is, do as the Romans do."
I finished the chase in one go, scattering flowers
"With you, with me, with children" woo woo woo, so sweet!!!
