Yan Jilou received the letter three days ago. It said his brother had been killed by his beautiful, wanton, poisonous sister-in-law and her lover.
On his way home to take revenge, he heard a troupe performing The Tiger Slayer Kills His Sister-in-Law:
"The first slash is for your parents, who shamefully failed to raise you right."
"The second slash is for my brother, whose cruel fate was to marry an unworthy wife."
"You poisoned your own husband, a crime beyond denial. The third slash will prove your guilt."
After hearing those three lines, his blood surged and his veins throbbed. Even the books and writing brushes in his luggage seemed to turn into knives, clamoring to hack the adulterous couple to pieces. Yan Jilou strode off toward the northwest.

Upcoming novel: Fresh Mandarins (Reborn)
In the third year of Rongjing, the rites and music had fallen into disarray, and the rules governing the great aristocratic families were no longer as strict as they once were. Lu Shijia, the second son of the noble Lu family, was deeply attached to his widowed cousin. The two often walked side by side and never tried to hide their comings and goings.
Lu Shijia was as pure as the moon, as fresh as spring willow, and as lofty as a solitary mountain. Everyone wondered why a man so extraordinarily gifted had placed his unremarkable cousin, born to a merchant family, at the very center of his heart.
Lu Shijia blushed and said, "I don't know."
Xian Yang didn't know either, though she wanted to find out more than anyone.
Most of all, she wanted to know why, on the very first day she married into the family, her husband Lu Shijia would rather spend the night in a wild shrine outside the city than spare a glance for her, a noblewoman from a great house.

"The world praised them for breaking free of the shackles of propriety. I should have applauded the lovers, too, but their steeds galloped past and showered me from head to toe in dust."
Just then, Xian Yang suddenly remembered how, at fourteen, she and her sisters had once fallen asleep drunk in a meadow, their hair in twin buns and their spring robes on. They had promised to gather chrysanthemums by the eastern fence and ride their horses to the southern hills.
Now the peonies of Luoyang had bloomed and withered again, and the steeds had grown old and died in their stalls.
At last she understood: the gentleman she had glimpsed among the peonies that year had a butterfly of his own.
Fortunately, she had been reborn at sixteen, and her butterfly had only just begun to emerge from its cocoon.
Note: The male lead will change.
Theme: Courage is the only song of praise
It's really good, very good. They share each other's greed and desire, protect and heal each other's fragile ideals and pain, and the writing is very delicate and vivid. It is really the same as the emotional line in the article. It feels like I have learned from the classics but wrote h-articles for me. When I read it, I was in the fat loss period but bit into the fried chicken that overflowed with juice. It was so refreshing!
This article is very clever. The plot in the article is like a snake with a gray line and a thousand miles of foreshadowing. The whole article reveals a strange and fairy spirit, which may be related to the ethnic minorities in it. But I have always been wondering what the metaphor of this big fish is? Is it a secret between the male and female protagonists? From the desire to leave the northwest when I was young, to returning to the northwest in middle age, this land is so cold, yet so hot, and so full of infinite vitality. I don't know if many of the strange stories in the article are related to many folk customs in the Northwest. In short, they are very interesting and it is a rare article with strong northwest characteristics. Thank you for your hard work. I hope to write a new article later.

It's good to watch. At the beginning, I thought the male protagonist's emotional changes were too fast, but after watching it, I realized that there were foreshadowings. I think the extra chapter is the finishing touch. How can everything go as planned? I just hope you can pity me and pity you.
This episode really made me feel stuck in my throat. . . It's better not to watch
I read it again. The writing is really good and delicate. Unfortunately, not many people can read this masterpiece.
Nanny Qin: No, a male vixen came to the house to seduce our Lady Shen.
Qingxuan: Mom, why is the tail of the pony my dad gave me hairless?
For this sentence "Daddy", Yan Er can have his ears full!
Exactly 100 chapters. May the world of sentient beings always be perfect. Looking forward to the new article [Blue Heart]
The last chapter ends today. The update has been postponed to 10pm. The 100th chapter is an extra chapter about returning to Yongzhou. I will revise some of the previous chapters again and it will be completely finished. As of today, I would like to thank you all for your persistence and I wish you all the best in the new year.
