The Outcast: Playing the Wind

This novel will not be abandoned. There may be pauses in updates, but it will absolutely not be abandoned or discontinued. As for school, I update once a month during the school term, possibly with one chapter, possibly two. They are all pre-written chapters scheduled for release. I will check the comments whenever I have time.

"Wang Zhenqiu... Everyone says he's a pervert. I thought so at first, too, but later I realized he's actually not that bad. He's just a little too playful." Xue Qingfeng felt a bit puzzled by Zhang Chulan's disbelief.

"Bilian, don't ask her. She's way crazier than I am. She's got a cultural background, so you might not be able to tell, but that doesn't change the fact that she's a total lunatic." Wang Zhenqiu laughed, smug and flippant.

For Xue Qingfeng, staying away from Natu Tong, keeping her ability hidden, and being an utterly ordinary history student who devoted her abundant hair to the endless study of historical records was the ultimate dream of a history researcher.

And yet...

"If I kill you and then dissect you for research, will I find out why your ability has no limits?"

"You can't possibly be that weak."

"Want to find someone to try out the Eighteen Tortures of the Qing Dynasty on?"

"How do you know what cultural relics want? Will you teach me?"

She was a sucker for good looks, and Wang Zhenqiu really was a peerless beauty, but she didn't want to be with someone like that at all, okay? It was way too dangerous!

But as an otherworldly being... Well, the world of otherworldly beings really was more interesting than she'd imagined. Maybe she was better suited to it, if only Wang Zhenqiu weren't there...

"Xue Qingfeng, do you really not want to be with me that much? I meet all your standards for a partner."

Xue Qingfeng looked into Qiu'er's wine-red eyes and froze for a moment, then muttered softly, "Fine, he's not actually that dangerous. Maybe I'm the more dangerous one."

Content warnings: Wang Zhenqiu pairing, happy ending. They get together after Mount Longhu, and the Biyou Village arc is the ending. The Valley of Heavenly Passage may be included as an extra. A wish-fulfillment romance with plenty of sweetness.

The female lead is a history student who transmigrated into the world. She doesn't know much about The Outcast and won't deliberately change the plot. She hides her unhinged side and has a broad range of interests.

All professional knowledge and languages are sourced from Baidu. Citations will be explained in the author's notes.

The female lead has only one ability: controlling wind. She cannot hear cultural relics speak; that's simply the result of accumulated knowledge.

Gong Qing will not die. Chen Duo might die.

The female lead is very powerful, the purest kind of wind controller, able to raise a massive tornado with ease.

Characterization may inevitably be out of character, but I'll try to keep it under control.

I'm a beginner with poor writing and no sense of logic, writing this for myself out of love. If you don't want to read it, just leave. No need to tell me you're dropping it.

Theme: I'll write it when I think of one.
