[New Novel: The Childhood Sweetheart's Temptation] is now open! The blurb is at the end. Please add it to your collection, hearts~
Ning Yue was the moonlight in the heart of the greatest swordsman in the jianghu.
Ning Yue didn't know that, because the story only spread after she died.
What kind of person had Ning Yue been in her previous life?
Born with a debilitating chill, she wasn't expected to live past twenty.
The daughter of a physician, compassionate as a bodhisattva, she treated everyone in the world with kindness all her life.
Her one and only obsession was her childhood sweetheart and fiance, Xie Yun.
He went on to become the most renowned swordsman in the jianghu, but he was no longer the carefree boy who had grown up with her on the frontier.
That day, she watched him carry the poisoned demoness of the Demon Cult as he ruined her wedding, believing she had poisoned the woman and demanding that she save her.
Ning Yue smiled and asked only one thing.
"So this is what you think of me."
That night, a great fire consumed the manor where the wedding ceremony had just taken place.
The demoness of the Demon Cult woke Xie Yun. He saw that she was unharmed, then looked at the flames reaching for the sky.
Only then did he understand: his childhood sweetheart, his bright moon, had used up the last of her life to push them out of the web of conspiracy.
Love flourished wildly after she was gone, but what did it matter?
Ning Yue had never wanted it.
-
Ning Yue thought that since she had died, she would naturally be reborn and have better luck in her next life.
Who knew that when she opened her eyes, she would still be the same person, born with a debilitating chill and not expected to live past twenty?
Her father was arranging her engagement to Xie Yun. Ning Yue politely refused, preferring to risk her life searching for seven exceptionally rare medicinal ingredients rather than repeat the past.
Everywhere those seven rare ingredients could be found was fraught with danger. Surely she could find a good chance to be reborn...
To claim the rare medicine Moonlit Dew, the bounty for a notorious flower thief, Ning Yue stepped forward. "Me! I can be the bait!"
Lost in the Meng family's stockade during a ritual to pray to the gods, she discovered the rare Maha Flower and raised her hand. "I'll offer myself as the sacrifice!"
In the South Sea's Penglai, she sought the Immortal Spirit Grass, the prize for winning a martial arts contest. Ning Yue, who couldn't fight at all, declared, "Me! I can take a beating!"
Unfortunately, her plans were always foiled by an obscure young guard.
Ning Yue: "Who are you, really?"
Young guard: "Someone who only wants you to get what you wish for."
-
Dew at dawn lasts only a moment, yet it can become a song.
Reader's Guide:
1. Both leads are reborn, 1v1, with many original elements.
Not a traditional strong heroine. Told from the heroine's perspective, with the hero mostly in the background.
2. An ensemble jianghu story, about self-healing and emotional recovery.

The Childhood Sweetheart's Temptation
A wicked noblewoman with a split personality vs. a fake gentleman, the real thing being a gloomy young duke
The new dynasty issues a Marriage Supervision Edict: unmarried women who have turned seventeen and unmarried men who have turned twenty will be randomly matched by the local officials.
In the capital, where arranged introductions are all the rage, Ji Heng, the young duke of the Duke's Estate, is elegant and refined, as gentle as jade, and the perfect husband in the eyes of every unmarried woman.
Strangely, he is about to turn twenty, yet still hasn't settled on a fiancee. The rumors about why are all over town.
In truth, Ji Heng is simply waiting.
Waiting for a childhood sweetheart who has yet to catch on.
-
Qin Mingyu and Ji Heng are not your typical childhood sweethearts.
Though they can talk about anything, she has a secret even Ji Heng doesn't know:
This body houses two souls, one good and one evil.
The good soul is innocent and simple, while the evil soul is utterly lawless.
With only three months left before the Marriage Supervision Edict's deadline, the good soul finally catches on, but falls for the wrong person. Unable to stand by and watch, Qin Mingyu, the evil soul, takes over and steps in.
First, she steals confidential information from the ghost market to use as a list of suitors, then asks her childhood friend Ji Heng to help vet them.
She thinks her plan is foolproof, but one candidate after another turns out to be a disaster.
First, there's the young general. The very next day, evidence of his blood feud and his willingness to risk his life for revenge suddenly appears on her desk.
Then there's the Seventh Prince, who seems as aloof and pure as a chrysanthemum. Yet the seal of the ghost market's ruler and letters plotting a rebellion somehow land at her feet.
Qin Mingyu: "How is any of this acceptable?"
Realizing the source of the problem, Qin Mingyu pushes open the gates of the Duke's Estate.
But when she confronts him, the man who's always been as gentle as jade instead advances on her step by step.
His eyes are dark, his voice laced with resentment.
"Why are they allowed, but I'm not?"
"Of course not! I used to be your sister-in-law!"
-
Ji Lang, the eldest son of the Duke's Estate, was once a peerless talent whose fame filled the capital.
But after his untimely death, every expectation and every scorn fell upon his younger brother, Ji Heng.
He had no choice but to emulate his elder brother, a gentleman as elegant as the breeze and gentle as jade, and restore the glory of the Duke's Estate.
The pain of completely denying himself and pretending to be someone else had been bearable, as long as Zhaozhao was by his side.
They could remain childhood friends. As long as he was first in her heart, that was enough.
But Zhaozhao, why do you have to meet other suitors?
If you can let go of my brother, why can't you choose me?
*
On the rainy night Qin Mingyu became engaged, Ji Heng barged into her room wearing his elder brother's clothes.
The refined gentleman became a bewitching specter, leaning over her.
"Zhaozhao, every one of them wants something from you: evidence for revenge, power over the Chancellor's Estate, or a forgiving and sincere heart."
"Unlike them, I only want to be your principal husband."
Even if I'm only a substitute for my brother.
Even if you never love me with the same disregard for good and evil with which I love you.
Reader's Guide:
1. 1v1, happy ending. The male lead is a substitute, secretly in love, and broodingly obsessive.
2. The leads are not traditional paragons of justice.
Theme: Love yourself before you love others.
I finally finished reading it. This is my most favorite novel in recent times! Wuwuwuwuwu After eating rough grains for so long, it's finally my turn to eat fine chaff. A brief book review: The writing style is really good. There is not a single nonsense word in the article. Every sentence gives information, feelings, hooks, and foreshadowing. In the text, I thought it was an old-fashioned story about chasing your wife at the crematorium. In fact, after reading the text, I found that this was not the case at all. The main line of the story is that the heroine is looking for seven kinds of medicine to cure the poison and extend her life, while the hero transforms into a bodyguard to accompany her. The story of searching for each medicine can be regarded as a copy. The characters in each copy, no matter whether they appear in more or less scenes, are all very vividly portrayed. Although the selling point of this book is not to promote women, the female characters and shining points portrayed in each copy are really good. I can't describe how good the author's writing is with my poor language. If you are curious, you can really go and take a look. Finally, I praised that every character has no facial expressions, even the "villain" Ashna, Xiao Jin Wang, Mengjiazhai Divine Envoy (dungeon boss), Yan Gu (dungeon boss), everyone has their own starting point for what they want, struggling for power, trapped by love, and for Burdened by prejudices and bound by the cannibalistic feudal ethics, they are all alive in the author's writings. In fact, by the end, I don't think who is the villain in the true sense, because people are complex bodies of good and evil intertwined, and there is no black and white.
I really like this point. The heroine's grandmother and mother are called by their first names in the book, as if they have always been young and free. They have no identity, no one's vassal, just themselves. Just reading their names makes me feel happy
Then why did the villain fake his marriage in his first life? Maybe he was still a kind person at that time. It would be even more ironic if the peaceful and prosperous age he glimpsed should be the direction of the world in the beginning, and the future he glimpsed changed only after his original intention changed.
"Xin Chang" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Slender
To fill the inner guilt in the name of love, is it more about loving or eliminating guilt?
When will the new article be published? I also like the new article's memes.
Catch a bug with bloodless hands
Ahhh, I don't understand what gift the twenty-sixth life left...
"Xin Chang" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
I really didn't expect this villain. Ah Yue is really gentle, kind and tough.
