[Please check out and bookmark the author's upcoming and completed works~] [Novel blurb] Her arrival was like an unexpected, steady drizzle, falling on my barren world and bringing forth a blade of spring grass. And I wanted to hold on to that breeze and keep that rain from leaving. Stillness is the lesson of Chan; giving is the joy of Tan. Let go of a single thought, and find freedom in all things. I named him Chan Tan, wishing that he would spend his life devoted to a clear heart and the Way, happily giving to others, and become a good man who helped the world. But I never expected Luo Chantan to take countless lives in his lifetime, to be wicked to the core, and to commit crimes too numerous to list, becoming a villain scorned by everyone. Servants, prostitutes, jealousy, and envy: since ancient times, women have held a lower place than men. Even her mother named her Zhaonan, a homophone for "bring home a boy." After a car accident, she was reborn by chance, only to encounter a madman. Watching him kill in a frenzy, she realized that living again was no more than a dream. She closed her eyes. "You want to die? I won't let you have your way."

In the end, she becomes a female physician who saves lives and heals the wounded. [Before You Read] 1. The story includes coercive possession! Please don't read if that's not for you!! (This probably isn't a story about redemption.) 2. The dynasty is fictional (some details draw on the Han dynasty), and there are many author-created elements. If anything in the story makes you uncomfortable, don't force yourself to keep reading. (You don't need to tell me if you drop the story. I hope you find one you enjoy~) 3. The author is trying to write an ensemble cast, so there will be lots of plot. The romance develops mainly in the later part of the novel, so romance-focused readers, please take note. (The upcoming historical romance, The Sun Rises and the Moon Stands Firm, focuses on the romance. If you're interested, please consider bookmarking it~) 4. Friendly comments are welcome.

The Hangs had twin sons: the elder was brave and valiant, while the younger was clever. As a boy, the eldest son, Hang Ji, followed his father to war. He won honors on the battlefield, and before he was even twenty-five, he was named General Ningyuan. The second son, Hang Yue, was poisoned while still in his mother's womb, leaving him frail from birth and unable to practice martial arts. But Hang Yue was exceptionally bright. At eighteen, he passed the imperial exam as the top scholar and was appointed to the Hanlin Academy. The Xia and Hang families had been friends for generations. The Xia family was a distinguished family of scholars, and their daughter, Xia Litang, was gentle and refined, a model of young womanhood. When the Hang matriarch was pregnant, the two families' wives arranged a marriage between the unborn children. Everyone knew that the Hangs and the Xias would one day become in-laws. As the eldest son of the Hang family, Hang Ji was naturally assumed to be the one betrothed to Xia Litang. But fate is unpredictable. Hang Ji was ordered to lead troops south, then disappeared during the campaign and never returned. Everyone lamented that a rare talent had been cut down by fate, assuming he had given his life for his country on the battlefield. As a result, everyone thought the engagement between the Xia and Hang families had been called off. Suitors seeking to marry into the Xia family lined up at their door, but the family turned them all away. Unexpectedly, three years later, news spread that the Xia and Hang families were to become in-laws after all. Xia Litang was to marry not Hang Ji, but his younger brother, Hang Yue. Outsiders had no way of knowing that Hang Yue had knelt before his parents for three whole days to marry Xia Litang, until his mother relented and his father gave his consent. He had followed his elder brother since childhood and knew that Xia Litang was destined to become his sister-in-law, yet he could not help falling in love with her. While his brother was around, he knew he could never measure up and never thought to compete for her. But his brother had been missing for three whole years, with no word from him. During those years, Hang Yue quietly stayed by Xia Litang's side, and the greed hidden in his heart grew along with his feelings. If Xia Litang was destined to marry someone else, why couldn't he take his brother's place and fulfill the marriage pact between the Xia and Hang families? But just one year after Xia Litang and Hang Yue married, Hang Ji returned to the capital alive. Theme: A tenacious life can blossom into something brilliant.
