Tales of Qingxuan

By the banks of the Yuanshang River stood Qingxuan Manor. Legend had it that its residents knew everything in the world, could drive away illness and evil, and ward off disasters. People came from far and wide to seek their help. Qingxuan Manor had a strange rule: in exchange for help, they wanted no mountains of gold or silver, only one secret from the visitor, given to the manor's master as payment.

The master of Qingxuan Manor was named Bai Yuan. But long ago, she was neither the manor's master nor called Bai Yuan.

Before the age of eleven, she was Nangong Yuan. She had loving parents and a family background others envied, but a disaster left her orphaned and her family destroyed.

After turning twelve, she was Bai Qihuan. She wandered from place to place and suffered countless hardships, until the master of Bai Medical Valley took her in as a disciple. She and the master's son, Bai Qifei, were as close as siblings, and at last she found peace again.

But fate was always cruel to her. Bai Medical Valley was wiped out overnight. Her beloved Brother Qifei gave his life to protect her, becoming an obsession she could never let go of.

After turning fifteen, she became Bai Yuan. She escaped by sheer luck, and her mother's trusted retainer brought her to Qingxuan Manor, where she became its master. Her most important task was to repay her master's family for their kindness. When someone told her that a Heavenly Silkworm Gu could save Bai Qifei, she searched everywhere for news of one, but never found a trace.

Just as she began to think all hope was lost, a woman in red arrived and brought her a glimmer of hope. The woman had lost her memories, but never forgot that she was searching for someone. She asked Bai Yuan for help. For her own sake, and for the sake of this woman in red, who had been toyed with by fate just like her, Bai Yuan stepped into the mortal world. She uncovered the secrets of the past and witnessed a heart-wrenching romance within the palace, while also meeting the love destined for her.

When the dust settled, she thought she could spend her life with the one she loved, admiring the world's beauty and finally living for herself. But she never imagined that everything had been a scheme from the very beginning, one soaked in innocent blood, trampling on genuine feelings and destroying everything she believed in.

Overwhelming murderous intent echoes in your ears. When darkness falls, someone will stand at the gates of hell and shield you from every pain and hardship.

* The leads and supporting characters are all intelligent.

* They pursue both love and career, and reject being consumed by romance.

* Every relationship is built on absolute trust, with no misunderstandings or suspicions.

* Happy ending.

Core idea: I am only a storyteller. The characters have always walked their own paths, one step at a time.
