No Escape

Heads-up: This story is mostly wuxia.

The writing is average, so please be kind in the comments.

Valley doctor and immortal vs. poison master (wuxia)

Synopsis

The current crown prince, Rong Lin, is cruel, volatile, vicious, and bloodthirsty. Despite being blessed with a handsome face, he always wears a smile that still manages to send chills down people's spines.

During the struggle for the throne, Rong Lin is ambushed and goes missing for several months.

As the palace descends into chaos and factions fight over the throne, Rong Lin suddenly reappears, with a beautiful young woman of ethereal grace at his side.

In everyone's eyes, Su Yunmiao is innocent and kind, with exceptional medical skills. She gives Rong Lin her full support in his bid for the throne.

But no one knows that he tricked her down from the mountain with a medical book.

After the new emperor ascends the throne, the palace banquet is full of music and dancing. In the midst of the feasting and drinking, someone brings up the new empress, Su Yunmiao, who rarely makes public appearances.

The new emperor, Rong Lin, who never shows his emotions, smiles and says only, “Her light-footedness is so good, I was afraid she'd run away.”

Everyone takes it as a joke, but within a few days, the palace is surrounded inside and out like an iron barrel.

And the new empress really does run away!

.

Su Yunmiao makes an unexpected appearance at the martial arts alliance leader election, only to be caught by the man chasing after her.

Rong Lin holds her tightly in his arms, his dark eyes fixed on her as his knuckles turn white from clenching.

“Yao Yao, your husband has had such a hard time finding you!”

Su Yunmiao looks at him tenderly. “You said that if I escaped, you'd let me go.”

Rong Lin smiles and leans close to the girl's ear, his eyes dark. “Didn't I also say that if you ran away, I shouldn't catch you!”

Otherwise, unless he dies, he will never let her leave again.

Wuxia version of the synopsis

Eighteen years ago, after the martial arts world fought for supremacy, the various sects gradually faded away.

Eighteen years later, sects are everywhere. The Nightfall Sect, famed for its deadly poisons and hidden weapons; the Heart of Mystery Cult; and the Tang Sect are known throughout the martial arts world as the three great evil cults. Meanwhile, there are countless orthodox sects, led by Shaolin and Kongtong.

The appearance of a medical book called The Divine Compendium of a Hundred Herbs shakes the martial arts world. A rumor that whoever possesses it will rule the world draws factions from all sides into the fight. Its owner, the Jade-Faced Physician Immortal Luo Yunheng, is also swept up in the turmoil of the martial arts world by this fateful encounter.

At the martial arts tournament, the various sects set up a fighting stage and invite heroes from across the land. They nominate Luo Yunheng as leader of the martial arts alliance and plan to use the medical book, The Divine Compendium of a Hundred Herbs, to rally the martial arts world and eradicate the Nightfall Sect, the Heart of Mystery Cult, and the others.

The veil over a long-standing mystery is lifted, revealing one conspiracy after another...

Heads-up:

1. Romance plus wuxia. The outline and approach have changed; this leans toward serious drama and focuses mostly on wuxia.

2. The male lead is a villain, a real scoundrel. The female lead isn't some pampered young lady. She's incredibly capable and full of confidence, even more formidable than the male lead. If that's not your thing, there are plenty of other great stories on Jinjiang!

3. This is a new attempt, and the pacing is rather slow. I hope you'll be kind and go easy on me!

Synopsis

At fourteen, Qi Yao got a cat and picked up a young boy,

but she died at sixteen.

When she opened her eyes again, her soul was trapped in the body of a strange girl.

In an unfamiliar place, under an unfamiliar reign name, Qi Yao spent two years in a daze, always thinking she'd arrived in another world.

Only when her elder brother passed the imperial examination and the whole family moved to the capital did she learn that this was the tenth year after her death!

-

The palace banquet is filled with laughter.

Qi Yao sees a man who looks remarkably like the young boy in her memories. She hears that he is the current emperor's sixth prince, Lu Yuxuan.

She goes to great lengths to arrange chance encounters, just to catch a few more glimpses of the face she longs for and can't help falling for.

Even knowing that Lu Yuxuan can't possibly be the boy from that snowy night, she still throws herself into trying to see him again.

Beneath the peach tree, the young woman is tipsy, her eyes hazy. She is as radiant as the moon, her voice soft and low.

She calls his name. It should be an act of disrespect, but Lu Yuxuan is entranced.

He reaches out to catch the drunken girl, only to watch helplessly as she falls into another man's arms.

Lu Yuxuan stares blankly at the handsome man before him, whose face bears a slight resemblance to his own, and gathers the courage to say, “Uncle, she's mine...”

The emperor's crimson eyes darken. He lifts the girl's slender waist and carries her in his arms, then asks with a curl of his lips:

“You should listen carefully to whose name she's calling.”

Amid the mournful sound of falling snow, Lu Yuxuan listens again and realizes that the girl's soft, distant voice is calling, “Ziqian.”

And Ziqian is the childhood name of Lu Yu, the current emperor.

The female lead is a frail, sickly beauty. The male lead...
