The original intention of writing this story was to tell how two people who "shouldn't" fall in love turn "shouldn't" into a "must" in the face of swords and worldly prejudices.
Su Lianqing is the empress who dominates the world. On the dragon throne, she is tougher than a man in order to hold the throne; Shen Xiuya is an assassin who walks in the dark night. Under the silver sword, she is used to being alone. She does not trust people's hearts and only trusts the blade. Their encounter began with the horrifying corpse dumping case in Tong County - the deceased's hair was shaved, his internal organs were eviscerated, and his body was covered with strange spells, which looked like a lost magic sacrifice.
One goes into the fog with a royal guard of honor to investigate the case; the other lurks in the shadows covered with night in order to track down the case. They were supposed to be two lines that would never intersect, but through repeated confrontations and side by side, they clearly saw the weaknesses under each other's armor: the queen would also frown at the memorial in the middle of the night, and the assassin would also be moved by the words "I will protect you."
Of course, they are not the only ones in the story. The escapist little prince Li Muyun fell in love with the assassin Shen Xiuming, who was as cold as ice. The two fought against each other and depended on each other for life and death. In order to resurrect his dead brother, the yandere Zhou Yu set up a five-element killing array and became a demon with his obsession; Princess Zeng Run of Miaojiang brought Gu worms with her. Ambition, wanting to stir up a bigger storm in the Central Plains... Taoism and Gu magic collide, intrigues and personal relationships are entangled. Everyone is fighting for what they "want" - some want the world, some want revenge, and some just want someone who can watch the sunrise side by side.
I wrote about strange cases, fantastic secrets, and the twists and turns in the court, but in the final analysis, what I wanted to write most was the word "break." Break the "should and shouldn't" defined by gender, break the "worthy and unworthy" of status disparity, and break the definition of "normal" in the eyes of the world. Just like what Su Lianqing said to Shen Xiuya in the end: "I want this world, and so do you."
If you also love this kind of deep affection with a bit of edge, love the tenderness hidden in suspense, and love a group of people who rush forward regardless of what they "want", then this novel may be able to find some resonance with you.
Don't worry, there must be sugar in the shadow of the sword; beyond worldly prejudices, there will eventually be a destination.
