Completed: The Right Way to Win Over a Brocade Guard, ruthless commander × beautiful, charming princess
Blurb
Sickly little princess × young wandering swordsman
1.
The emperor of the Ming dynasty was past forty when his youngest daughter was born. A red glow appeared in the sky, an auspicious sign.
The emperor adored his daughter, gave her the title Princess Huiyi, and named her Zhao.
The whole realm celebrated, and the emperor granted a general amnesty.
Princess Huiyi had been frail since birth. A Taoist master once said, "Your Highness is destined for hardship. Until you turn sixteen, you must remain beside the Buddha, or you may not survive."
The emperor reluctantly sent his beloved daughter to the Great Xiangguo Temple in Yuzhou, Jiangnan, to recuperate. She could return to the palace and reunite with him only after she turned sixteen.
For fifteen years, Ming Zhao was tied to her medicine, reciting sutras before the Buddha and bedridden with illness.
Then one day, a young man in white leaned against a peach tree, carefree and proud, the evening light illuminating his features.
His name was Jiang Ce. He rode across the land and roamed the martial world.
He said, "I'm one of the best martial artists under heaven!"

Jiang Ce was a carefree, dashing wanderer. He had always thought he would roam the martial world, live without a care, and become one of the best martial artists under heaven.
He never imagined that a spring shower of peach blossoms would bring him to Ming Zhao.
At first, he acted only out of chivalry. Knowing the girl had never been able to enjoy herself, he took her drinking and singing and told her stories about the martial world.
When he left, he said goodbye with effortless ease.
"Little beauty, I'm off to ride through the martial world."
He said they would meet again, never guessing that she would follow him all the way despite her frail body.
Jiang Ce was done for. He had lost his heart and soul.

"Zhaozhao, may every year bring you peace."
"If I can become one of the best martial artists under heaven, then of course I can enter the court and become a first-rate general for Your Highness."
He was an eagle, yet he was willing to be confined to the palace for her.
Zhao means the sun and moon.
To Jiang Ce, Ming Zhao was his sun and moon.

Upcoming story in the author's collection: The Right Way to Win Over a Brocade Guard
[Cold-faced, ruthless Brocade Guard × flirtatious, beautiful young princess]
Qin Chaoyun was the young princess of a Duke's household, dazzlingly beautiful and famous throughout Yedu.
Countless young noblemen fell for her, earning her the top spot on Yedu's list of the most desired brides.
In the twentieth year of Yuanming, at an imperial birthday banquet,
Zhou Yan, commander of the Brocade Guards, appeared in a crimson embroidered uniform and black gauze hat. His sharp brows and cold eyes framed a face carved like a blade, half in light and half in shadow, just like the title he had earned in the rumors.
The living King of Hell, feared by both the living and the dead.
But Qin Chaoyun was a beauty enthusiast. One glance was all it took for her eyes to widen slightly as she made up her mind.
She would win over the most handsome man in Yedu!
The maid serving her looked shocked. "But he's the most terrifying man in Yedu!"
Every day, Zhou Yan cared about nothing but investigating cases, interrogating suspects, and closing cases.
That was, until the young princess who outshone the entire capital started turning up in front of him every few days, always asking,
"Brother Yan, why do you keep avoiding Chaoyun?"
Zhou Yan's brows twitched. Wasn't she supposed to be a demure noblewoman according to the rumors? He bowed to her, his face cold as a winter star.
"Princess, please behave with dignity."
Later, Qin Chaoyun draped herself over his shoulder, her breath sweet, her eyes sparkling and her voice alluring.
"Xu Lang, why won't you look at Chaoyun?"
His courtesy name was Wuxu. Hearing her call him that, the corners of his eyes reddened, the color spreading as he gritted his teeth and stared into her captivating eyes.
"Qin Chaoyun, you won't be able to regret this."

Little scene
The affair between the young princess of the Duke's household and the commander of the Brocade Guards had been the talk of the town lately.
Young nobleman 1: That King of Hell must be lusting after the princess's beauty!
Young nobleman 2: Ah, no girl can resist a persistent suitor! My Chaoyun!
In a private room at a teahouse, behind a screen painted with ladies,
the man in a crimson embroidered uniform looked at the woman before him, emotions stirring in his eyes. His voice turned suggestive. "A persistent suitor? Mm... I suppose I am."
Chaoyun's lovely eyes flickered. They met his phoenix eyes and smiled at each other, their affection entwining.
The cold-faced King of Hell of Yedu had, in the end, become Xu Lang, hers alone.
Theme: Defy the current and meet at the summit.
Also, I would like to make a small immature suggestion. I basically only read ancient Chinese novels, which of course are mostly pure romances. Maybe I have less exposure to martial arts novels. I have a writing habit that I like to express the plot through external descriptions, such as appearance, clothing, colors, etc. Or detailed descriptions. However, for a relatively confused reader like me, I will reflect for a long time, who is writing this and what does it want to express? Is it a positive role or a negative role? Sometimes I even have to think about whether it is a male or female protagonist, so I think I can do some direct descriptions, directly write the names of the characters or who they are, so that it can be expressed more clearly (forgive me for being lazy, because the ancient Chinese novels I read use relatively direct expressions of character titles or descriptions of character characteristics, so I have developed a bad habit~). Maybe the expression of martial arts novels requires these external descriptions to create that kind of atmosphere~ Finally, congratulations, the ending! The next book is already bookmarked and pre-ordered!
The text is finished and flowers are sprinkled! The author's writing style is very good, and the plot and emotional lines are relatively logical, and the protagonist's image is well created. It is really beautiful that Zhao Zhao and Jiang Jiang go in both directions at such a young and ignorant age, and the male and female protagonists are very firm in their feelings for each other. Many details make me think they are so sweet! Especially the two people's first acquaintance and ambiguous stage are full of youthful love and sincerity. Although the author does not write many articles, the plot setting and character portrayal are very good. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the extras and new books!
This is my first time to write a review. From the first chapter to the present, I have witnessed all the author's mental journey from the side. The writing style was a little green at first, but the more I write, the better and smoother it becomes! Both the plot and writing. This kind of spirit of learning while writing is really amazing. I look forward to the author's next part and all subsequent works. Come on!! You are really great! Do you want to believe in yourself?
Spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers!! Congratulations!! This book is also my first time reading Jiang Hu novels. At first, I felt that the writing style of Dada was a bit green, but the boys and girls in the article were still very attractive and kept me reading. There were many places where I didn't get the foreshadowing of Dada. I went back to read it. However, in the second half of the article, I felt that the emotional scenes between Dada Quanmao and Ace and Zhaozhao were getting better and better. It felt like it was coming naturally, and I felt that we were becoming more and more mature. It's done~ In fact, this is supposed to be a short article. I didn't expect it to be that long at the beginning. I think there are many parts that I can spread out and write, such as the plot of Aqiu and the plot of the prince's brother. Of course, it may become 700,000 or 800,000 words. It really tests the author's skill, but the writing skills are accumulated through this book. I hope that I will continue to maintain the original intention, write the stories in my heart, and share them with us~Thank you~
The best ending, perfect~happy~sprinkling flowers! In addition, I have a small suggestion. You can apply for a limited exemption and give it a try. I think more readers may see this good article and follow you~
Does this mean that Bai Yuerong is about to sink?!! Didn't expect it at all
The line between the prince and Yuerong is so obscure that it deserves a separate book for them (hahahahahaha, shameless line)
I'm asking for leave today. I won't update TAT tonight.
Sure enough, alas~ Ah Qiuzai's life is so tough, let's give him a little sunshine~
Qiu Zai won't turn black, no, no, no, I feel like he is also a gentle, scary and lively big brother, alas~ (I don't think so! I'll bet!)
