Synopsis
I'm opening "The Moon Shines on Us" in June. The entire novel is already written, so please add it to your collection. The blurb is below!!!
[Blurb]
Young, I held lofty ambitions; grown, I kept the wish to save the world in my heart.
As a woman, Shen Yunshu was casually abandoned by her family, sold like an object, and treated as a tool for bearing children. Should she endure and scrape by, or end her own life?
She chose neither. Shen Yunshu killed the people who abused her and fled alone to the capital, searching for a chance to survive.
As the emperor's youngest son, Zhu Yiheng survived the brutal struggle for the throne simply because he was young. He watched his mother and brothers die one after another before his eyes. Should he keep his head down and live out his life as a wealthy prince, or plunge into the chasm of power and become a traitor?
Zhu Yiheng chose the latter. If fate had made him a member of the royal family, why shouldn't he claim the throne?
Perhaps fate had bound them together. When they first met, the girl was covered in blood and begged him to save her. The boy found it amusing and played the hero. The next time they met, the girl was in love with him, while the boy had his own ulterior motives. After a bizarre imperial examination fraud case, the two became entangled, each with their own schemes, using and plotting against each other.
Zhu Yiheng had no heart. In his life, everyone could be used, and everyone could be abandoned. Yet because of Shen Yunshu, a heart grew within him. For the first time in his life, there was someone he could not bear to give up. For the first time, he wanted to become a ruler who would sweep away the old and build anew, changing this decaying Ming dynasty.
Shen Yunshu fell in love with Zhu Yiheng from the moment they met, but she loved herself more. She would not feel ashamed of her humble origins, abandon her principles because the world was harsh, or give up her freedom for even the smallest measure of love.
"Yunshu, what do you wish for?"
"I hope more ordinary people like me can have food to eat and clothes to wear, and live in peace without suffering the pain of upheaval. I hope that one day women can leave their homes and no longer be men's private possessions and property. They should be able to study and read and write, do business, teach, become generals, even hold office, just like men. I want to change this world, even if I can only change it a little!"
[Reader's Guide]
1. This is a fictional Ming dynasty setting. Some supporting characters are inspired by historical figures, but there are many original inventions, so please don't treat this as historical fact.
2. Both leads are virgins.
3. Plot-focused, with character growth; not a power fantasy.
4. Please read with care if any of the above bothers you.
"The Moon Shines on Us" blurb:
The first time Zhao Xu met Liu Wanyue was in the autumn of the fifth year of Yuanfeng. Back then, she didn't yet have that name.
It was just after the rain had stopped. A little girl in a red top and green skirt stood beneath a tree and smiled at him, as lively as a crabapple blossom. They took to each other at once. The granddaughter of a sage and the son of the emperor: they could not have been a more fitting match. Sadly, their fate together was enough for only one month of friendship.
His father said that once Zhao Xu was grown, he would bring her back to the palace to be his wife. Sadly, before Zhao Xu could grow up, his father died. Zhao Xu was forced onto the throne against his will. He became emperor, but not the master of the realm.
He watched helplessly as his grandmother destroyed all the achievements his father had worked so hard to build and altered the record of his father's life. Blood ties meant nothing in the face of power. His grandmother hoped he would never grow up, just as he hoped she would soon meet her end.
That year, he encountered her again among the palace servants. She had changed her name and identity. Dressed in the pale blue-green skirt of an ordinary palace maid, she knelt before him with a calm, detached expression, cool as the moon.
From the age of twelve or thirteen, the two words Liu Wanyue heard palace servants use for her most often, openly or behind her back, were "seductive vixen."
Among the imperial attendants, she was undoubtedly the most striking: beautiful, talented at singing and dancing, clever, quick-witted, and good at getting along with people. Yet she was illiterate, and with her low birth and beauty but no accomplishments, she seemed born to be a seductress.
Sometimes she wished she really were the empty-headed woman they described, thinking only of seducing the emperor. At least then, life would be much easier.
But she was nothing like that. She had read many books, traveled many roads, seen the vast world and the deviousness of human hearts. Once, all she wanted was to roam freely beneath the open sky. In the end, though, revenge forced her to spend her entire life within the palace walls.
It seemed fate had cut her life in two. Before the age of ten, she was a young lady of a distinguished family, afraid of nothing, outspoken and carefree. After ten, her closest family members died with grievances unresolved, her family fell into decline, and she changed her name and identity. Within the palace, she kept a low profile and endured every sorrow life had to offer.
The palace servants thought it was enough to become a favored consort. But Liu Wanyue was different. If she was going to fight for something, she wanted Zhao Xu's complete love, supreme power, and the position of empress.
Whatever she wanted, she would hold on to with all her strength.
Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine's background is entirely fictional and unrelated to real history. Any similarities are coincidental.
2. I'm not a history expert, and the story contains fictional events. Consider it a partly fictionalized setting; readers looking for historical accuracy should move on.
3. Supporters of the Old Party, especially Sima Guang fans, and fans of the "female Yao and Shun" should read with caution. This definitely won't be what you're looking for. Please don't curse me; any curses will bounce right back.
4. Historical figures appear in the story. Don't ask whether they are virgins; you can look them up yourself.
5. Please don't send me writing advice.
That's all. Peace and love.
Theme: Shared ideals bring joy to the heart

I hope the author can maintain his current level! Really well written! Everyone is well shaped!
It's truly a treasure trove! I feel happy that A-Heng and Yun Shu have achieved positive results. A-Heng is lucky. After meeting Yun Shu, his empty heart has grown fresh flesh and blood. From the scheming masked king to finally understanding the suffering of the common people, he can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the people of the world. Yun Shu ended up wandering around in her previous life, and was cherished by her brother, Meng Niang, and Ah Heng. Finally, she was able to make greater efforts as a queen to help women become stronger and get rid of the constraints of the world. This pair went through ups and downs, and finally joined hands to be consummated. It is really a warm color in the article. But apart from that, every character is extremely heart-wrenching. Meng Niang can be said to be a woman who can bear all the praises, but she is too bitter. She has endured all kinds of difficulties, but her heart is full of holes. If Master Liu's love can glue a broken heart together, but after the verdict was over, the energy that supported the tenacious beating of the heart has dissipated. If the emperor had not been fatuous, Meng Niang and Yinian would have been a pair of gods and immortals who stayed with each other until their old age. There is also the princess and Master Su, the charming and young princess and the upright and upright teacher. I heard the story is good, but I didn't expect such a tragic ending. I really hope to see the extra story of their second life. I thought the princess complained that the teacher didn't understand the style and was too upright. The old man blushed and coaxed his little wife jerkily. And brother Jianan, he can obviously be very high-spirited in the Hanlin Academy, talk about politics and poetry with his colleagues, and be a very popular minister! But no matter what happened, in our hearts, we are still the handsome young master in troubled times, and her love for Yun Shu is heartbreaking. It can be said that all tragedies are caused by the emperor's ignorance. If there is another parallel world with prosperity and clarity, they should be extremely happy.
Damn, when will the extra episode be released?
Pre-collection of the article "Landscapes I Have Acquainted", please collect it!!! Do you believe in traveling through time and space? If you could go back in time, what would you do? Shen Yuchen wanted to save someone. Autumn 2011, Fifteen-year-old Xu Nanyi finally got admitted to the only key high school in the county. If life is a TV series, then Xu Nanyi's life should be a drama of bitterness. She was an anomaly in that small town, a withdrawn monster with nothing but good grades. Bullied by her classmates and targeted by her teachers, she grew up surrounded by inexplicable malice. She originally thought that her life would continue in a difficult mode, but she didn't expect that Shen Yuchen's arrival would inexplicably turn her life script into a youth pain literature. Xu Nanyi is a nerd who was admitted from a small town, while Shen Yuchen is a school boy who transferred from a big city. They are from two different worlds. Xu Nanyi's goals in life are very clear: to be promoted to the experimental class, to be admitted to a good university, and after the college entrance examination, she will confess to the boy she has always had a crush on. She wants to leave those who have hurt her far behind. She wants to escape from here and never look back. Shen Yuchen was not in her life plan. Xu Nanyi stopped reading novels about a domineering president falling in love with Cinderella when she was in junior high school, but fate is always unreasonable, just like the infinitely beautiful Shen Yuchen who insisted on squeezing into her narrow and difficult life to help her light a lamp. He said, "I'm here for you." Autumn 2021, Shen Yuchen, 25, has accomplished nothing. On an ordinary afternoon, he lost the last bit of light in his life. The day before her birthday, Xu Nanyi jumped from the top floor and stopped her life forever at the age of twenty-four. He always felt that their meeting was destined. When they first met, she was a sunny and cheerful doctor in charge of the bed. After they met again, she was a mentally ill patient. Two people who were at the same low point in life began to support and warm each other. Shen Yuchen likes Xu Nanyi, but Xu Nanyi doesn't like him. Xu Nanyi agreed to be with him after her twenty-fifth birthday. But she died on the day before her birthday, and Shen Yuchen could no longer wait for the 25-year-old Xu Nanyi. Xu Nanyi's only relic is a diary. On the last page of the diary, she said: Xiaoyu is a very good boy, but I am a very unlucky person. As long as I want to get anything, I will lose it forever due to various force majeure. Therefore, I cannot like small fish. Shen Yuchen didn't expect that he could really travel through time and space. If he had to do it again, he would help Nan Yi realize all her wishes and live a good life with her... Before Time Travel: Downtrodden Little Star X Unlucky Doctor After time travel: A handsome academic with excellent academic performance and a proud and sensitive shining girl
Ahhhhhhh help!!!!! Ah this!!!! Madam, do you wholesale blades at home?????!!!!!
It's really sad, thinking about how Jiang Chen was so full of energy back then, yet he was tortured to death at such a young age. Emperor Cheng Ming was really selfish and ignorant. How many people were killed?
Although the aunt and brother-in-law both work for the male protagonist, they don't think highly of him hahhhh
It is indeed a painful thing to follow serialized articles, especially since I can't write fast enough. I am not full-time and can only update every other day to ensure quality. I feel that it affects the experience of following articles and can be fattened up! Just read the article, the most important thing is to be happy! I have already written more than half of the novel, and I will try to write the remaining parts as quickly as possible. Finally, I am very grateful to the little cuties who have been following the update. The motivation for my update comes largely from you. One thing I can guarantee is that it will not be a trap or unfinished. Above, the refill!
The period piece "The Heroine's Counter-Killing Strategy in Abuse Stories" is being serialized, and "The Bright Moon Shines" and "Cangshan Mountain Bearing Snow" are pre-released. Please click and add them to your collection!!!
Meng Niang's life is too bitter and bitter
