Finding the Wild Through Sound

Passionate, bold prosecutor Wen Sheng X Reserved, abstinent doctor Yu Zhaoye

Second chance romance | Reunion after years apart | Intense push and pull | Mutual devotion

1,

When Wen Sheng was 21, she had a minor surgery and met Yu Zhaoye, who was 27.

The youngest associate chief physician at Yubei City's top hospital, he had countless admirers, but rejected every one of them without leaving any room for doubt.

But Wen Sheng refused to believe he was truly untouchable.

At a hot spring resort in late autumn, the young woman stood outside his room in a light outfit and slipped her delicate hand around Dr. Yu's neck.

His eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed. "Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course. I'm seducing you."

His last shred of reason came crashing down. Everyone else might be trapped by love, but Yu Zhaoye was no exception.

Yet the one who pursued him relentlessly was her, and the one who suddenly broke up with him while they were madly in love was her, too.

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled slightly. "Wen Sheng, did you pursue me just for fun?"

2,

Wen Sheng never expected a violent incident involving a hospital to bring them together again.

The man still had bright eyes, sharp brows, and striking features, but now he was distant and indifferent toward her, as if she were a stranger.

"Maybe that's for the best," Wen Sheng thought.

But one day, when she came home after working late, the uninvited guest at her door didn't look well at all.

Before she could say a word, his presence swept over her. A sharp sting came from her lips, and Wen Sheng let out a pained whimper.

"So you do know what pain feels like."

Yu Zhaoye smiled bitterly, though even he couldn't tell whether he was mocking her or himself.

Why did you have to let me see you again?

I was afraid my shaky disguise would fall apart in an instant.

I heard your voice in the wilderness, and in that instant, daylight broke.

Extra scene:

One day, Yu Zhaoye cornered Wen Sheng. His voice was dangerous. "I heard Prosecutor Wen told someone... that we're not close?"

Wen Sheng answered with a stiff smile, "We weren't close to begin with."

"Is that so?" The man's smile grew more dangerous. He leaned close to her ear and whispered hoarsely, "So according to Prosecutor Wen, sleeping together doesn't count as being close. Then what does?"

Spring Breeze Beneath the Flowers and Moon

A fallen princess enduring humiliation X A ruthless king of the steppe

The Southern Tang dynasty had lasted for more than three hundred years, but internal strife and external threats had long since robbed it of its former glory.

The realm was now divided into three. In the south, a military governor had raised an army and declared himself king. In the north, the steppe tribes of Mobei watched like hungry tigers.

The current ruler of Southern Tang was weak and incompetent, appearing powerful on the outside but hollow within. His daughter, Princess Yide, however, was a woman of extraordinary talent. At twelve, she became renowned throughout the realm for her essay "On the Governance of the State."

Although Princess Yide, Xiao Qingyao, was born to the empress, she was never arrogant. From childhood, she followed her maternal uncle, the Defender General, learning martial arts and studying military texts. Spirited and ambitious, she was unmatched in Southern Tang, a truly remarkable woman.

But the good times did not last. When Xiao Qingyao was seventeen, the Defender General, who had raised and taught her like a father, betrayed the country. That night, the blood of the Southern Tang royal family stained Shangyang Palace red. With their last strength, the ruler and empress of Southern Tang protected Xiao Qingyao and the crown prince as they escaped.

Xiao Qingyao fled north with her young brother, while the rebels pursued them. With nowhere left to turn, she hid among a group of Mobei dancers and barely escaped with her life.

She had planned to lie low in Mobei and secretly plot to restore her kingdom. But when she stood up for her younger brother one day, she caught the eye of a certain man.

Cang Ming, the new ruler of Mobei, had climbed to the throne over the corpses of his brothers. He was cold, ruthless, cunning, and unpredictable.

Inside the bed curtains, Cang Ming pinned Xiao Qingyao beneath him. His voice rang out: "If you want to save your brother, then serve me well."

Xiao Qingyao endured humiliation in Mobei, waiting for the day she could return to Southern Tang and reclaim her kingdom.

The first time Cang Ming saw Xiao Qingyao, he noticed the resolute hatred and resentment in her eyes. He had always loved taming unruly wolves. Watching a fierce wolf king sheath its claws and submit at his feet was fascinating beyond words.

What Cang Ming never expected was that he would be the one tamed in the end.

At the border between Southern Tang and Mobei, Xiao Qingyao impassively drove a dagger into the man's chest, then turned resolutely and walked into Southern Tang.

In Shangyang Palace, a woman sat on the throne in a red dragon robe. Her voice held not a trace of emotion. "King of Mobei, I've heard so much about you."

Ignoring the hundred guards around him who had drawn their swords, Cang Ming stepped forward and seized the woman's wrist. "Xiao Qingyao, you use me and then kick me aside. Where in the world do you think you can get away with that?"

Theme: Together, we will journey across the land, true to our country and true to each other.
