Chronicles of the Martial World

Blue Ink Manor's eldest young lady, Lan Ruolian, is known throughout the martial world as the "Light of the Righteous Path." Bold and heroic, she keeps the household in order and cares for her younger siblings at home, while resolving conflicts and solving strange cases throughout the martial world.

Ye Han, young master of the Ten Killers Sect, is ruthless and notorious, a demonic figure who strikes fear into the hearts of everyone in the martial world.

One is the Light of the Righteous Path, the other the young master of a demonic sect. Everyone assumed they would be enemies who'd fight the moment they met. But who could have guessed that in the dead of night, Ye Han would corner Lan Ruolian against a wall?

"Miss Lan, how about a business arrangement?"

"What, Young Master Ye, are you trying to turn over a new leaf?"

Later, the tides turned. Ye Han suddenly lost his father, then fell into a trap laid by others. When he was pushed to the brink, Lan Ruolian came alone to save him from disaster.

The two kept running into each other amid one martial-world crisis after another. They joined forces to unravel plots, tested each other, and came to understand their feelings, yet had to be cautious because they stood on opposite sides of the righteous-demonic divide. Only when life and death hung in the balance did they finally confess their feelings.

Second brother and third sister: Thank goodness, Big Sister finally found someone! At last, we can start making plans for the Lan family's happy occasion. We all have a bright future ahead!

Reading notes:

- An ensemble story, centered on the three Lan siblings solving cases and adventuring through the martial world.

- The female and male leads are both strong, evenly matched alpha types.

- Ye Han is technically the male lead, but he has relatively little screen time early on. His role grows from Volume Two onward.

- The overall tone is light and cheerful, with multiple couples and a variety of dynamics.

- Hope you enjoy it!

My new novel is out: My Childhood Friend Next Door Is Actually a Noble Lady. Please add it to your reading list!

Pei Zhan came from a family of military officers in the capital. At fifteen, he returned to his hometown to observe mourning for his grandmother and met Shen Yunshu, the daughter of a minor official from Yangzhou who lived next door. He only wanted to repay her for keeping his grandmother company by chatting and playing with her every day. Little did he know that she would gradually cling to him until he couldn't get away.

Shen Yunshu: Brother Pei is so handsome, and he's so gentle and considerate. I wish he could be my brother.

Shen Yunshu's father: That child is talking nonsense again. She's always thinking about things like this.

Pei Zhan's father: What's so hard about that? We'll make you sworn siblings today!

Years later, Pei Zhan became a vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, while Shen Yunshu's father became a rising star at court and a favorite of the emperor. Shen Yunshu returned to the capital to reunite with her family, transforming overnight into a noble young lady. Suitors flocked to the Shen family, and even Pei Zhan's colleagues subtly asked about Shen Yunshu's preferences, doing everything they could to curry favor with her "sworn brother." Only then did Pei Zhan regret it bitterly.

The usually calm and self-controlled Pei Zhan finally couldn't sit still. Why had he listened to his parents' nonsense and made her his sister? Was it too late to ask for her hand in marriage?

At last, after a garden party, Pei Zhan stopped Shen Yunshu in a pavilion.

"Don't call me Brother anymore."

"If you still haven't chosen a husband, would you consider me?"

A jealous childhood friend x a flirtatious childhood sweetheart. An alternate world, sweet everyday romance.

Theme: The martial world may be old, but the spirit of chivalry never dies.
