(Seeking advance readers for the historical danmei novel Three Chi Green Blade. The blurb is at the very bottom.)
Blurb:
They were simply in love. Why should they have to endure the condemnation of thousands?
[Dancer x Singer, a couple of fifteen years breaks up, an unconventional second-chance romance.]
We climb, we fall.
We climb by falling.
Failure shapes us.

P.S.:
1. No real-life inspiration. Dedicated to idealists. Everyone is the protagonist of their own story.
2. I'm a good-for-nothing at writing blurbs (emphasis on the good-for-nothing!), so please give the actual story a chance. orz
Three Chi Green Blade:
Lu Xingzhou is an unlucky student who has just finished his high school entrance exams. He downloads a martial-arts game called Three Chi Green Blade, and wakes up inside its world.
The chuunibyou teenager Lu Xingzhou makes a solemn vow: For the sake of my summer vacation, from this day on I shall keep watch, and never rest, even in death. I shall not slack off, procrastinate, or run away. I shall eat more and sleep less. I shall sacrifice my hair and toil until I drop. I am the game's bug, the missions' dog, the very embodiment of grinding. I shall dedicate my time and energy to my missions, today and every day.
He made his vow with such swagger. When it comes to doing the missions, though, he is a complete wreck.
First mission: Steal an egg.
Lu Xingzhou's result: Nearly killed by a mutated hen.
Second mission: Study and learn martial arts.
Lu Xingzhou tries his best: The calligraphy brush burns his hand, running makes his heart race, and he falls flat on his rear trying to hold a horse stance.
Lu Xingzhou wails: Is there still any hope of getting home?
-
Years later, Lu Xingzhou stands atop the Tower of Ascension, just one step away from the final mission.
He turns around, and his family, friends, and beloved appear one by one in his mind.
Lu Xingzhou thinks: It was only a dream. He'll forget all about it.
...Really?
-
Missions he has no choice but to undertake, a fate beyond his control.
Epic ensemble cast / coming-of-age / the way of the martial hero
Chaotic and comedic at first, then all-out slaughter later on.
P.S.:
1. The protagonist's vow is adapted from a passage in Game of Thrones.
2. Light fantasy game vibe with a wuxia core. Expect plenty of strange settings and nonsense.
3. I started writing ahead around the summer solstice of 2024 and plan to begin posting in 2025.
Theme: Happiness is earned through hard work.
Finished reading!! Finished spreading flowers!! This is the first time I want to write a long review for a story. Although this is not the best work I have ever seen. But it is also one of the works that touches me the most. Especially before it shines brightly, I wish more people could see it. I have many, many thoughts, all of which are very personal and subjective. Maybe it's childish, but I just want to say it! Let me first talk about what this story brought me, a pair of eyes swollen like walnuts, and a feeling that I can't express. First of all, what touched me the most was the day when Xiao Huo went to the United States for the first time and took second place in junior. The inferiority complex, hesitation, freedom and hope really hit me. From here on, I knew I had to read this article. Secondly, as a hard-working college student, I came here just to watch other people fall in love. It's really well written! From the first meeting to the first lift to "you" in the corridor of time. The sticky to stringy pulling during the ambiguous period is my favorite part to watch. Some back-and-forth tacit quips: "You like Oscar Wilde?" The values of some young lovers collide: "I trust you, so I am willing to close my eyes and let you lead me across the street" "I trust you, if you let me walk into the traffic with my eyes open, I am also willing." There is also an episode about lovers who are far apart, quoting Borges's words, "In the dream of the dreamer, the person who is dreaming wakes up." Wait, etc., Everything makes me super excited. After listening to their stories, forgive me for being immature and lacking in words, my heartbeat can speak better than me.
For the first time, I felt the urge to write a long review of a story. "Idealists" aside, why are you so miserable! How to persuade! There is no ending to this article, and I almost lost my mind halfway through. In fact, from the moment I opened it, I wanted to find a piece of music that suited him. Yes, I like it very much, but I couldn't find it. I'm so excited, why doesn't Lin Xu sing to me! Offended Huo Yucheng haha. I didn't know how to describe it at first, but they were like the artist's muse to each other. Well, the same can be said for singers and dancers. I'm so afraid that they will break when they get there, and Xiaodie, why don't they dance gracefully? I understand, he is going further away, where is the winter fluff, it's okay, she can fly, in his own world, Xiao Luo is so unlucky, but okay now okay okay! Yingying, you have always been brave and beautiful. Sister Tong! You are the best agent in the world! A very true story. It turns out that this is idealism. Then you must, no, you must always be optimistic. And I thought they would change as they grew up, well, not at all! A sincere heart leads to spirit, and a perfect heart leads to forest. I wish you all the best. We will always be Panxia. —2024-05-12-03:14—
It's well written, five stars for the emotion conveyed in the article. In fact, I was very sad when I was reading this article, because whether it is the protagonist or the supporting character, many people have encountered obstacles in reality. Some may have passed them, and some may have fallen here. But everyone in this article can be said to have passed them. But I will always feel sad for the misfortunes that have happened or will happen or even have not happened, or feel it. Nowadays, many novels will completely idealize the story, but even the plot of this kind of story, which is rated very cruel by everyone, is actually very "bland". This plainness does not mean that it is not spectacular enough, but because everything under idealization has an insurmountable sense of fleetingness - things happen just as they happen, pushing the plot forward without leaving any traces. When a good story is written, I feel heavy no matter how it ends, because there are many complicated people or things in it. Regardless of whether the protagonist changes because of these, the traces left by these experiences can always be felt by me. Of course, I don't mean to say that today's novels are bad. Too many heavy things will be too much for people to bear. But I can feel the heaviness in this article, and it has a sense of realistic idealism - I know the sky is high and the sky is high, but I am moving forward indomitably. This kind of rationalism is not as heroic as hearing the truth in the morning and dying in the evening. It is not a pursuit, but a kind of persistence. It's not the kind of passive persistence that Gan Youyou said, but subjective hope. I was moved by Lin Xu and Huo Yucheng's persistence. Many times when reading novels, I will stop before I feel "heavy", because all stories are the most beautiful and pure before they officially begin, just like the poems written by the girls in the Haitang Poetry Club before copying the Grand View Garden in Dream of Red Mansions. "The sweet-scented osmanthus is loaded with wine in advance, but it is not the same as the youth tour." The "heavy" I say may be part of the sadness that is not like the youth tour. But idealism will always get a license, because their beauty and purity can only be truly revealed after experiencing everything. No one can prove anything with words alone. Rationalism takes a lifetime to prove. And these people who come to prove, I would like to call them martyrs. The world needs them to leave a little light in this world where people feel powerless all the time. Finally, life is not about pursuing anything, but I hope everyone can stick to something they want. Occasionally "not knowing" the heights of the sky may be a rare blessing.

Babies, you are the cutest babies. You are all my babies. The author is also my baby!
Finished spreading flowers!!!!!!! Why are there so few people with such good writing!!!!! The author writes so well!!!!
I watched it in one night, it was so good
Good article, no one reads it. Why do you only have 500 collections? It feels like the quality of 10,000 articles qaq I stayed up all night to read it!
A very peaceful love story. It took nearly twenty years to write less than a hundred chapters, and many "important" nodes in the story have been covered, or the feelings at that time are simply described calmly in the form of memories, including the first award, the first concert, the success of the two's careers, etc. There are basically no insurmountable obstacles, hysterics, or long timelines to smooth things over. It's not that there are no setbacks, but that the protagonists are able to deal with them in a mature and modern way. They conceal when they should conceal, face when they should face, give in when they should give in, communicate when they should communicate, call the police when they should call the police... While they are mature in dealing with things, their love and pursuit of music or dance are so idealistic. The pressure, prejudice and pain of separation do not disappear because of the peaceful narrative. It is their stable love and emotions that make everything seem so peaceful and safe.
"Lin Xu paused, Huo..." This is a big bug for the author~ This should be Huo Yinan, right?
