[Complete]

[Historical romance "Bound by Snow, Listening to Her" is now underway! A young assassin and a sheltered young lady]

------------ Blurb ------------

*

Before she turned ten, Shen Yunjiang was a noble young lady renowned throughout the capital.

But in the year she turned ten, her father was convicted of treason, and the entire family was executed.

Her mother risked her life to entrust her to the Wu'an Marquis and his wife, longtime friends. The daughter of a condemned traitor, she changed her name and lived under their roof as a dependent.

Fortunately, she gained adoptive parents who cherished her, as well as three handsome sworn brothers.

Though her second and third brothers weren't very fond of her.

Only the eldest, a man of impeccable virtue and lofty bearing, protected her, stood up for her, and spoke on her behalf.

Her life should have continued peacefully like this.

Until Shen Yunjiang was deceived and, in a moment of infatuation, kissed the eldest brother she respected most.

From then on, she could tell that things had taken an unusual turn.

*

The first time Wu Siheng doubted himself was when he realized he had developed forbidden feelings for the sworn sister he had grown up with.

He was nearly overwhelmed by endless guilt.

But then, one night, the young woman he had yearned for came and kissed him of her own accord.

The usually calm and composed young man now had an immeasurable darkness surging in his eyes, a darkness that bordered on madness.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

So she likes him too.

Then he has nothing left to hold him back.

*

Notes:

1. Includes character growth. The early chapters have a bit of an ensemble cast, with a pampered heroine. Romance and plot are split evenly.

2. Primarily a pure-love romance, with a small amount of coercive pursuit. The male lead is devoted to the heroine in both body and heart.

3. They are not biological siblings. There is no romantic storyline while they are still sworn siblings.

4. Single couple, happy ending.

------------ Upcoming story blurb ------------

A short-tempered, explosive smiling tiger x a sheltered young lady on the run

*

On the eve of her wedding to the crown prince, Ming Yue, eldest daughter of the Ming family in the capital, is abducted by Bafang Mu, the most powerful assassin organization. Her fate is unknown.

Rumor has it that Bafang Mu deliberately left behind a Snow-Binding Mark as a provocation. Their previous claims of having reformed were all a ruse: their true goal is to seize the throne.

In an instant, Bafang Mu becomes the enemy of the whole world. The imperial court orders the organization wiped out, vowing to make them pay.

As rumors spread like wildfire, the master of Bafang Mu, who has long since retired and turned his back on the world, has just killed a chicken. He stares in bewilderment at the mass of soldiers charging toward him.

*

Ming Yue never expected that, after escaping with Bafang Mu's help, she would meet Xu Yinhan, the master of Bafang Mu, who is said to kill without batting an eye.

He advances step by step with a long sword in hand, like a smiling tiger who licks blood from the blade.

As the sharp sword presses against her slender neck, she hears him say, "Didn't you say I kidnapped you?"

"Then why didn't you come looking for me?"

Ming Yue forces herself to stay calm. "I didn't know where you lived."

He lets out an "Oh" as if suddenly enlightened, then says, "Thanks to you, I have no fixed abode."

"But it doesn't matter," he says with a chilling smile. "Your home is right here, isn't it?"

*

Later, Ming Yue has to escape not only on her own, but with this man who might decide to kill her at any moment.

When the truth is exposed, she becomes the target of everyone's anger.

She steps in front of Xu Yinhan. "Go. We owe each other nothing."

She understands, too, that the only way to repay him for the unwarranted disaster she brought down upon him is with her life.

But Xu Yinhan simply pushes her aside and draws his blade with a harsh ring.

He stands before her and faces a million soldiers.

"My reputation is ruined already. Helping you one more time won't hurt."

*

Notes:

1. The heroine has a valid reason for making the male lead take the blame. She isn't acting selfishly.

2. A sweet pure-love romance. The entire story is already written.
