We Will All Die by the Sun

The elders say that unless we offer up our own flesh and blood, the sun will fall from the sky.

Then the heavens will spew fire, and all things will perish in the flames.

So we must honor the sun that never sets, offering ourselves as sacrifices and praying that it lives forever.

Until one day, people realized that rather than make futile sacrifices, they could take life and death into their own hands.

"We can shoot down the sun."

Wen Xiao's father is convicted of a crime, and somehow the result is a promotion and a fortune.

Under everyone's disapproving stares, Wen Xiao takes up her new post under immense pressure and begins compiling a history of the gods.

At last, the long-awaited history is nearly finished, but at the end, everyone finds a line that makes no sense.

That line becomes the beginning of disaster.

At the end of the history, Wen Xiao writes:

"In the end, we will die beneath the sun."

When the immortal bound by fate casts off her chains, she sees the person who freed her.

She has beautiful hair, black and silky smooth.

She holds a cool pen in her hand and bends over her desk to write every day.

She has the courage to withstand any storm. In this nation that reveres violence and slaughter, she is the bravest civil official.

The immortal bound by fate reaches out from behind her and wraps her in an embrace, love quietly taking root.

Wen Xiao turns around. Through countless red threads, in the immortal's face, she sees the figure of someone else. That person once crossed mountains and seas with her, endured every storm, stood by her through hardship, and shared life and death with her.

That person was handsome, radiant, and irreplaceable.

I don't want someone with the exact same face. I want him, just as he was, in both body and soul.

Wen Xiao raises the first banner against replacement romances.

The immortal bound by fate asks, "Xiao, do you love me?"

Wen Xiao answers, "I don't."

[Reader's Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, with no third party. The male lead is a complete beginner who's learning how to love, so give him a chance to learn.

2. Ensemble cast. The male lead is a hopelessly straight man, and the female lead is an ambitious career-minded woman. None of the characters are perfect: they all have flaws as well as strengths.

3. This is not based on traditional mythology. The world is entirely original, so please don't connect it to the real world.

Coming soon: Senior Brother Looks Like Several of My Exes

Shen Han is an out-and-out bandit villain.

Beautiful on the outside, venomous at heart. She kills, sets fires, and commits every imaginable crime.

She declares herself the River God, burns Wangxian, and captures the county magistrate to drown him in the river. The people can only mutter "water ghost" under their breath to vent their anger.

She despises most of all those "cowards" who claim to be upright members of the righteous martial arts sects.

But one day, her own people overthrow her, leaving her hunted and with nowhere to hide.

At death's door, Shen Han suddenly remembers that the neighboring Yishan Sect might shelter her, except they... would never take in a wicked ghost like her!

Especially one with blood on her hands.

It is a snowy day, and the horizon is white.

Yu Heng, the Yishan Sect's most upright senior brother, opens the mountain gate and sees an incomparable beauty lying half-dead beneath the long stone steps.

She weakly reaches out to him. "Save me... I promise I'll turn over a new leaf..."

By the usual rules of the story, Yu Heng, a thoroughly good man, should save her.

But he only gives her a glance before turning away.

No matter. Even if Yu Heng has a heart of stone, he won't be able to resist my incredible acting.

A white lotus, huh? Pretend to be a good person, huh? I'll act until you cry, until you're in tears!

I'm joining the Yishan Sect, whether they like it or not!

[Cool, devoted, black-hearted white lotus × rebellious, untamable, beautiful female bandit]

The aloof senior brother's long road to winning back his love!

A lively, fun martial arts ensemble story, and it won't be too long. Add it to your favorites and look forward to it!
