Her grandfather, a wild-looking old man who lived on the mountain behind the village, became her only family. He had no idea how to raise a child, and within half a month, she had made a dramatic transformation from a rich young lady into a scrappy village kid. In these “harsh” conditions, by the age of twelve, Ni Yu could wield a giant wok at home with the best of them and head into the mountains to hunt tigers. Around that same year, her grandfather, who had promised to return after a month away visiting a friend, vanished without a trace. After waiting and waiting for him to come back, Ni Yu, who had never even left her hometown, decided to set out and look for him. But once she left, she discovered just how vast the world was and how wide the jianghu stretched. There were people everywhere, and her grandfather had enemies all over the land. After getting to the bottom of things, Ni Yu realized it was all her grandfather's fault. To avoid being pursued by his enemies, she had no choice but to conceal her identity. A few years later, a wild assassin known as “Faceless” appeared in the jianghu. In the 34th year of Emperor Wang's reign, “Faceless” killed a man nicknamed “Spring Mountain Dragon” in Jingling Prefecture, sending shockwaves through the jianghu. That same year, in Jingling Prefecture, Ni Yu reunited with an old acquaintance from the distant imperial capital, Baiyujing... Female Lead's Perspective Two: The current Emperor Wang has many children, but his favorite is undoubtedly Princess Changyu, Jiang Qingmu. She is the daughter of his beloved Noble Consort Zhou, and the emperor's affection for her has earned her unparalleled favor. None of the other princes and princesses can compare. But Jiang Qingmu knows it is all a lie. Few people know that before becoming Princess Changyu, Jiang Qingmu lived in a palace that was little better than a cold palace. The only lively things she ever saw there were birds occasionally flying across the sky. Even the ugly clay figures she molded to amuse herself had more life in them than the wooden, cold-faced palace attendants. In fact, besides birds sometimes falling from the sky, a person had fallen from it once too. That was the first time Jiang Qingmu had ever met someone her own age. It was a strange and wonderful experience. The person was injured, and she was delighted to care for them for a whole month. That month was nearly the only happy time in that part of her life. But in the end, that person had to leave. They promised to visit whenever they got the chance, but no matter how long she hoped and waited, they never came. Eventually she left that palace and became Princess Changyu, only to go from one cage into an even larger one. At seventeen, Jiang Qingmu went to her fief in Jingling Prefecture. She had something to do: free herself from someone. She never imagined that fate would turn and twist, bringing certain people together when they least expected it. A Brief Introduction to the Story: Martial arts flourish throughout the land. Heroes rise in the jianghu, where countless factions vie for supremacy, yet none can rule the world forever. More than thirty years ago, the Martial Maniac appeared out of nowhere and defeated one hero after another, shaking every corner of the land. The imperial court intervened, and the balance between the righteous and demonic paths shifted. Afterward, the Martial Maniac vanished without a trace and remains a legend in the martial arts world to this day. Now, more than thirty years later, a young woman surnamed Ni sets out into the jianghu to find her only family, who has gone missing. Main couple: Ni, a martial arts prodigy, a hopelessly sincere directionless wanderer who gets seasick, X Princess Jiang, a seemingly favored but truly pitiful, wise princess who knows how to gently lead people on Side couple: Ji, a doctor from the Valley of Medicine who has suffered a hard fate and is branded a “traitorous disciple,” X Shen, a frail, frequently ill businesswoman of immense wealth Please note: 1. This work is entirely fictional and has absolutely no connection to the real world. There may be some errors, which I may revise later as appropriate. 2. The romance develops slowly. It's a happy ending, and the story will probably be very long. I write slowly, but I promise to finish it. 3. Please enjoy the story and don't argue. If it's not your cup of tea, feel free to click the X. My writing skills are limited, so please don't offer writing advice. 4. Writing is hard work. Thank you for supporting the official release.
