Dawn in the East

Announcement:

Jun Qin is being reopened and rewritten. This is a completely new start with a revised version.

The revised version retains the basic content, but there will be substantial changes to the ending, pairings, characters, and more.

So if you liked the original Jun Qin, you can wait until the revised version is finished. I will still complete the original version eventually.

- = It's just that the timing is uncertain...

Ahem, the new version is this story, so please don't think it's plagiarized.

Jun Qin has been locked. To everyone who wanted to read it, I'm sorry, but it will remain locked until the revised version is complete.

Thank you all for your support. "Bows"

Note:

This story is a slow burn, with pseudo-harem and pseudo-one-on-one romance. It contains the violence and gore one would expect in material unsuitable for children. When inspiration strikes, updates come quickly; when it doesn't, they come very slowly, so proceed with extreme caution - =.

The heroine absolutely cannot be called "kindhearted." Every supporting character has an unexpected side. If you're lucky enough to see it, don't think they're suffering from a split personality; they're just good at hiding their true selves - -|||.

As for the male lead, please look forward to finding out. Ah, you over there, don't go throwing flowerpots around... [Gets hit]

"At dawn in the east, stars fall and constellations vanish."

Bearing this eight-character prophecy, she reverses time and arrives in another world where Confucius and Mencius exist, but the Wei and Jin dynasties do not. Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly; dream and reality blur, and silent visions foretell an uncanny fate. Strange events befall her in childhood, while myths and legends emerge in a haze. She goes down the mountain to take a look at her family's academy, only to be kidnapped and taken to a foreign demonic cult. You've got to be kidding! Do you think you can just bind any soul you please? She is nothing but a wisp of a ghost between heaven and earth, a mere observer of this world, existing in the cracks between time and space. How could anyone "bind her soul"? She breaks free, only to fall into an even deeper predicament.

Six years pass in a flash, and nothing is as it was.

Overnight, the Ye family commands the world. She is the head of the Ye family, revered and praised by all. Her pair of blood-red eyes is fierce and alluring, stunning the world, while concealing countless mysteries and intricacies. The reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird, a missing princess, the Radiant King of Wu and Chu... One identity and mystery after another swarms around her, making it hard to tell truth from illusion. Confused and hesitant, she wants no part in any trouble, yet trouble always comes knocking.

The road ahead is long, and wars flare on every side. With every step, she enters a trap laid out across three lifetimes, until she can no longer escape.

"I'll drag you down to hell with me..."

"Hell? I've been there for ages."

At the end of the dream, a blue-haired boy stands silently, his murderous aura unrestrained, solitary and proud above all others.

His lips curve in a smile, as if in a trance.

About "the theory of fate":

Fate means that an outcome has been determined from the very beginning.

No matter how you resist, the outcome will not change.

What's more, even your resistance becomes the force that drives fate forward.

That is what is meant by "the theory of fate."
