Blurb:

Three years ago, Xin Yue was stabbed clean through the shoulder and nearly blown to bits. For three years, she kept a sign in her heart that read: "Treasure your life, stay away from Gu Yan."

Three years later, she snuck around in the dark and crashed into his arms. From then on, she was a lamb walking into a tiger's den. No, she was the tiger.

Tender words? Not listening.

Thoughtful care? Don't want it.

Intimate affection? Not giving it.

Gu Yan is the eldest illegitimate son of a once-prominent family, now fallen on hard times. He endured in silence and built his strength for ten years, then distinguished himself in battle and spent another decade at war. Beneath his glorious reputation lay mountains of corpses and seas of blood; behind the security of his grand halls were ruthless methods.

Yet in his heart, he was plotting to marry a girl.

That girl could climb a tree to steal eggs from a nest and wade into a river to catch fish. Her lively, sparkling eyes brought life to his heart, as still as an ancient well.

He got his wish and married her. He doted on her, indulged her, and coaxed her, hoping only to protect her true nature as best he could.

But when war broke out, fate's threads tangled and pulled them apart. He lost his girl.

His fame shook the world, illuminating the heavens and earth and leaving its mark across the land, yet he couldn't find even a trace of her.

One moonless, windy night, the girl snuck into enemy territory to steal something, only to bump right into him, who was there doing the same...

Lu Yuyuan found a girl in a pile of corpses. She looked terrible, covered in blood, with her meridians severed. Everyone around him urged him to leave her be. But he refused to accept that, wanting to see whether his own skills were formidable or the King of Hell was simply too cruel.

He spent countless rare treasures to barely pull her back from death. Jokingly, he said, "The effort I put into saving you was enough to build a whole city-state."

Later, Xin Yue returned to the side of another man, and he finally understood: that city-state had trapped him inside it.

The girl he'd poured his heart and soul into saving had left. What was he supposed to do? Snatch her back, of course!

Completed novel: Thirteen Unrivaled Tales of Luanye. A cool, proud heroine with overwhelming combat prowess vs. a wild, seductive hero who falls for her on his own.

Theme: Her life was utterly ordinary, and everything she received was a gift of fate and its favor. When she stopped to reflect, she realized that if she wanted to cherish some things, she would inevitably have to let others go. All she could do was keep walking the path she had chosen. If she strayed from it, she would only drag herself and others into an endless abyss.
