The Guest Moon

Saving up chapters, currently writing for myself.

[Same world, cultivation across the sea, with a few cameos. Not traditional wuxia, primarily romance, a slow-burn relationship, niche appeal.]

Blurb 1

Shang Ruxu, once known far and wide as the “greatest swordsman” thanks to a single sword, has converted to Buddhism. Then she brought her staff down and smashed the black market’s signboard.

From that day on, this person no longer existed. [The End]

Blurb 2

One day, Gu Lin'an suddenly discovers that his childhood sweetheart, who had left and then returned, has become a ghost.

Shang Ruxu, under a secret identity, takes him along to “elope.”

.

After countless trials and entreaties, he finally manages to whisk away this young woman whose life hangs by a thread.

The ghost is relieved. Along the way, she secretly takes out her little notebook and scribbles away. Every time she writes something down, Gu Lin'an sneaks a peek.

.

Blurb 3

The young woman tells him about the dreams she once had, and those memories seem like they belong to another lifetime...

Back then, they often sat on the roof together, gazing at the moon in the night sky. The scattered moonlight stirred his youthful heart and pointed him toward his life’s calling.

But it also reminded him that the unrestrained wind of his dreamlike days in the martial world, like the ambitions he once held so fervently, had long since vanished into the passing years, no one knew where.

.

But perhaps, over these next fifteen years, they can travel together to every corner of the world and rediscover the days they once lost...

.

Happy ending route

The Records of Wangchuan

Tonight, the moon is full beside the bridge, and a flute sounds softly, as if someone has come home.

◎Reading Guide:

[One-on-one romance] Both leads are powerful, and their relationship is equal.

☆ A sassy, razor-tongued queen on a merry little scooter & a surprisingly “fierce,” slightly clueless, loading-screen ghost Buddhist with a little notebook

.

☆ Both leads have pretty unusual ways of thinking. The logic is what it is. There are tons of authorial liberties, and the setting is entirely fictional, so please don’t overanalyze. Thanks, everyone.

.

☆ Sweet with a sting. Not simplistic, and not a power fantasy. The leads are taking it easy and traveling.

.

☆ The author’s writing isn’t great, and they’re mainly studying English. You don’t need to tell me if you drop the novel, and please don’t give unsolicited writing advice. The characters’ values don’t represent their author’s values. Many thanks.

☆ Updates are slow before the contract is signed, but the novel won’t be abandoned. I’m a compulsive reviser. In other words, I might suddenly rewrite it years from now. (?) So please don’t read pirated copies.

.

Growing up and healing. Does the blurb make it sound sweet? Then you’ve been fooled by this lousy author. ⊙▽⊙ (Not really, it’s pretty safe... actually.)

Theme: Love learns to let go and to protect. Fate will bring us together
