A story I don't know when I'll get around to writing.
Traditional infinite-flow, with a highly intelligent, rational protagonist. Some character growth and plenty of mind-bending twists.
Warnings:
1. As usual, no CP, but there is an idiot admirer who loves to fight but not to love. He and the protagonist scheme against each other without mercy, and eventually the protagonist gets him killed.
Note: This admirer may hit a lot of people's favorite tropes:
A domineering young master with a strong possessive streak, narcissistic and arrogant, devoted to the person he loves but wanting them to belong only to him.
If that's your type, please use the exit at the top right, because both the author and protagonist dislike men who disrespect women. He'll meet a miserable end! Even when he's at the end of his rope, he can't get the protagonist to kill him with their own hands, no matter how much he wants it!
2. There are companions in the protagonist's group, but don't get too invested. Fellow travelers are bound to turn against each other.
3. The protagonist is highly intelligent, calm, rational, disciplined, and restrained. He's suspicious and thinks things through, but he's not a good person. Readers with very upright values or a moral purity streak should proceed with caution.
4. The protagonist is an ordinary person from the start. Apart from his exceptional intelligence and rationality, he has no especially outstanding abilities. I guarantee he won't be left helpless or forced to compromise, but I can't guarantee he won't suffer.
5. The protagonist is decisive in killing, takes revenge (?) and punishes scum (?). In any case, due to the unique setting, everyone who bullied the protagonist is schemed into dying. So... if you thought Xie An wasn't ruthless enough, you can bookmark this story. This should be the author's only protagonist with blood on his hands.
6. This story does not represent the author's values. This story does not represent the author's values. This story does not represent the author's values! The author's values are very upright!
