The night they first met, the sky was dark as iron filings.
Cheng Fu drew her sword and saved Fang Xiezhen, who couldn't have hurt a fly.
To repay her for saving her life, Fang Xiezhen stuck close to her.
*
On the day they met again, Cheng Fu traveled thousands of miles for the sake of an old promise, journeying to the vast, snow-covered plains.
Cheng Fu had saved Fang Xiezhen's life, taught her swordsmanship, and given her a place to stay.
Yet Fang Xiezhen, her face cold, held the sharp blade Cheng Fu had forged years ago and thrust it toward her old friend's heart.
Moments later, crows cried mournfully, and blood poured across the snowy plain.
It was impossible to tell who had lost their life.

[Reader's Guide]
1. A short, free story written on a whim. It won't be contracted. Please be kind and don't insult me.
2. A story of grudges and friendship in the martial world, with two female leads and two points of view. The main plot is probably about a friendship developing, and the martial arts flavor isn't very strong.
3. Not a feel-good story. It has a bad ending, and both protagonists have plenty of flaws.
4. Inspired by: "Those who drown in the past are the first to die by the sword. - Awaiting Dawn with a Cleansed Sword"

Theme: Without firm resolve, one will never accomplish anything.
First of all, congratulations on the completion!
The two female protagonists have no CP, the main line is friendship, but they are destined to be. When these elements are stacked together, it is indeed a relatively unpopular theme. I was even worried that if there were too few people following updates, Qiqi would not want to write, so I kept trying to leave comments, just hoping that Qiqi would know that someone has been reading.
I have to say that it is actually a very sad thing to see old friends turn against each other. Every time I see a conflict between Xiao Fang and Xiao Cheng, I wish I could sit them down and talk clearly through my phone. But there are always so many mistakes in the world, so there are always so many helplessness. Perhaps it is precisely because we care too much about each other that the hatred born from love is so strong that it is irreversible and will never end.
My personality is more like Xiao Cheng, so at first I thought Xiao Fang was too familiar. But as the angles of the little square became more and more clear, and there were more and more spikes erected, and as I watched her become more and more silent and closed off to herself, I began to miss the innocent and enthusiastic her at the beginning. She did grow, but the process was too painful.
The biggest feeling when reading this book is actually regret. I always think that it would be great if there was no conflict between mother and daughter, it would be great if Xiao Fang could grow up next to Wu Hongying, it would be great if Fang Hong could always accompany Xiao Fang, it would be great if Xiao Fang and Xiao Cheng could spend more time together, it would be great if there was no time difference in their friendship... But there is no if. I know that things in the world are not always as expected, but I have witnessed their growth and experiences and have developed feelings for them, so I always hope that they can be happier. Maybe I'm not suitable for watching be [crying].
But I also know that friendships and family ties between women in this world are inherently diverse, and too few people write about these imperfect female relationships. So I am actually very happy to see this story that belongs to them.
Finally, I wish them all a brilliant life. Even if we no longer meet, I will remember that the orbits of the two stars once intersected.
At this time, I really want Wu Hongying to wake up. Although Xiao Fang did something wrong, it is still very heart-wrenching to see her betrayed and separated from her relatives. [Hold up her chin] Only her mother will always love her. (By the way, I discovered that the titles of these two chapters are Participating in Business. Is it taken from "If we don't meet each other in life, it is like participating in business". Is this also the ending of Xiao Fang and Xiao Cheng?
Reading it gives me the feeling of an old photo, where most of the memories have slowly faded and become blurred over time, but some deep emotions are still left behind [Red Heart]
Wu Hongying wakes up. Can Xiao Fang go home? Wu Hongying is not a perfect mother, but her love is real [crying]
Xiao Qin Mo: From being wronged in Chapter 9 to Chapter 40, someone finally spoke up for me ()
I want to see the ending quickly, but I don't want to see their story end so soon [cheek holding] I even wonder if in some parallel time and space, if Xiao Fang could grow up stably in Shuiyue Valley and not be burdened with so many things, would they be able to be lifelong best friends and have a different life [change]
I have a question, does Xiao Fang really want to use Grandma Cheng to resurrect Fang Hong at this time? Although this seems unfair to other people, why doesn't Xiao Fang choose to find someone he doesn't know but meets the conditions?
It's really sad when old friends turn against each other [crying]
Can the soft-hearted Qiqi be reluctant to write Xiaofang and Xiaocheng to death [bursts crying] and let them both live [melted]
It's obvious that both of them care about each other, but they both pretend to be indifferent. It would be great if everyone could just say what they have to say [cheek support]
