Promise · Word

This story borrows the setting of the previous novel, though the two are not really connected. Who knows, it all takes place hundreds of years later. Perhaps the rise and fall of dynasties is what this setting is meant to reflect.

The first half is probably a palace drama, while the latter half will have a lot to do with the martial world.

------- -------- ----

The Empress of the Great Ling, Bei Jixuan, holds power over the entire court. The prime minister knows this woman's ambitions must reach far beyond that, so he sends his daughter into the palace. But Leng Yanmu discovers that someone else is standing behind Bei Jixuan: a person she calls her mentor...

The imperial court and the martial world have always been intertwined.

Xiao Wenxin falls in love with Xu Yan, but at the last moment, Xu Yan tells her that his heart has long been incapable of loving anyone else.

In the end, Xu Yan leaves behind only two words. “Why? If I were to give up even my name... I would lose the last thing that connects me to Yan... Without it, I wouldn't know how to go on living.”

“Yan... is like the totem I believe in. If I lose it, all that remains is confusion...”

Xu Yan belongs to the martial world, and the Gentleman also comes from there.

Xu Yan, a person as beautiful as a celestial being, is blind; the Gentleman, so peerlessly graceful, has lost the use of his legs.

This is a slow-burn story! Patience is required...

As for the tone, there may be a little angst. Just a little... You could even ignore it completely.

As always, this is a story full of romantic entanglements! A devoted, one-couple romance!
