Blurb One:
During the Great Jing era, songs and dances filled the land, and peace reigned everywhere.
But to Gu Changning, who had just descended from the mountains, the world was full of evil spirits and corpses strewn across the land.
She traveled alone, seeking the truth about her master’s death.
Born with the ability to see yin and yang, she always saw more than other people.
Lamplight and shadows intertwined, while the living and the dead coexisted.
A spirit-invoking chart that foretold good and ill fortune
A lover’s hairpin that could be either love or a curse
A carved beam that caught fire for no reason
An innocent heart cut from someone’s body
As the saying goes, “When poor, cultivate your own virtue; when successful, help the world.”
But her master taught her, “Why must you save the whole world? Everyone has their own encounters in life. Why not become someone who helps in small ways, aiding only those within reach? Isn’t that good enough?”
Gu Changning considered herself insignificant. But she followed her master’s words, and as time passed, she gradually became the “Lady Gu” people spoke of as someone who cared for the whole world.
Blurb Two:
The first time Yu Fengce met Gu Changning, he called her “a nuisance.”
The second time, he called her “a fraud who dabbles in the supernatural.”
The third time, he said, “If you can’t cure my eyes, I’ll kill you.”
Back then, Gu Changning was down on her luck, while the proud and noble young prince stood as high above her as the heavens were above the mud.
She thought he was just one of the passing strangers in her brief life. If fate brought them together, it could only be a cruel twist of fate.
Who could have guessed that on the day she lay dying, he would hold her in his arms, eyes red, and grit out, “If you dare to die, I’ll go down to the eighteenth level of hell and drag you back.”
Gu Changning laughed at him. “I’ve only conned people a few times. Why would I end up in the eighteenth level of hell?”
Then she saw him crying. “Changning, don’t leave me.”
That was the moment she was most reluctant to leave this world.
Proud young prince x deadpan woman with yin-yang eyes
Happy ending. Everything in the story is made up and won’t stand up to historical scrutiny.

Upcoming story: Mountain God
Is there anything to be careful about when praying to the mountain god?
The old man at the ruined temple grinned and offered the questioner a playful warning. “Just remember, the mountain god has a bad temper and never lets a slight go unpunished. If you want its blessings, don’t do anything to offend it.”
Someone else asked, “What would offend it?”
The old man chuckled. “That depends on the mountain god’s mood...”
The Pingchang Marquis’s household had a young cousin who came seeking refuge with distant relatives after her family was destroyed. She was blind, frail, and so weak that a couple of gusts of wind could make her cough blood.
Everyone in the marquis’s household feared she might not survive the winter and worried for her.
Later, disaster struck the household. The siblings sent their cousin to safety, then set off to seek a way out in the perilous, forbidden mountain forest where no one dared venture.
The blind girl walked barefoot into the forest where a giant python lurked, treading the rugged mountain paths as if they were level ground.
In a deep cave by a secluded ravine, golden slit pupils slowly opened in the darkness.
She lent the mountain god her eyes so it could observe the world.
The giant python slithered up to her feet and lifted her with its body.
No, to be precise, she was the true mountain god.
Theme: Self-interest lasts for a moment; the public good lasts for ages.
After reading it, I watched it again. At first he was angry at the male protagonist's behavior, but after seeing the male protagonist's transformation, he finally understood that people should not sacrifice because of their identity, status, and class because of the heroine's feelings of saving the world. Every living person is worth protecting. Maybe this kind of growth is the true meaning of love.
I really like the heroine. Upright, kind, brave and passionate. A heroine who always sticks to her own moral principles and always smiles with her eyes shaped like crescent moons. He is a male protagonist who always stands up straight despite being in the mud, remains strong and strong, and works hard for the prosperous age of Haiyan and Heqing. It was so good that it made them both laugh, but it also brought tears to their eyes several times. There is a passage in the article where the young prince evaluates Changning. He said that Changning is a person who can understand the pain of others. I wanted to cry the moment I saw it, it was so accurately written. The Taixu Pupil can amplify all emotions, and Chang Ning's kindness was magnified. She wanted to avenge Zi Yao with an almost stubborn behavior that others could not understand. She is indeed impulsive, but she has a pure and sincere heart. The two of them get along very sweetly and naturally, and the change in the attitude of the little prince is the most annoying. From disdain and ridicule at the beginning to pity, impulse and love later. It doesn't feel like industrial saccharine. Watching the two of them get along feels like I have experienced it myself. (It's so sweet that I can't keep my mouth shut.) The chapter about the letter written by Changning's master is what impressed me the most. "Master has no ambitions, but I wish you peace all the time." And later when Chang Ning saw the osmanthus and thought of Master, some small details were very touching. I think the group portraits are well written. I still remember Xue Hui and Fu Qing. The line between the eldest princess and Qin Jian was also very well written. (Woo woo woo woo) Anyway, thank you to the author for the great story. I hope you will keep up your hard work and enjoy peace year after year.
Well done Qin Jian! The author is really great. With just a few strokes, the character of Qin Jian is established.
This bald donkey is just like Fa Hai
Little Prince: rwkkrwkkrwkk Star Eyes
Looks great, thanks for letting me find the treasure for free
Ah... Is the boss dead?
Exactly the same as the article introduction, all included. The title is great, and I like the plot very much. I haven't seen such an intelligent article in a long time. The emotional drama and the plot line are perfectly integrated.
Who is the female ghost who looks very similar to the male protagonist? I didn't see it explained in the article. Can anyone tell me?
Suddenly curious, does the little prince know that senior sister likes Chang Ning?
