Can Relentless Pursuit Count as Salvation?

Seeking saves for my upcoming wuxia political intrigue novel, The Factory Director's Blood-Red Moonlight.

------------[Synopsis]---------------

When the Demon Cult fell overnight, everyone in the martial world cheered.

But few knew that the culprit who dragged the entire cult down with her was none other than its leader herself.

The dreaded Ghost-Faced Rakshasa was merely a sinner with no control over her own fate.

She despised herself utterly and wanted only to die and escape it all.

Unfortunately, finding release was never easy. That hapless, bloodthirsty fiend was trapped in this world and forced to perform three good deeds to atone for her sins.

"Giving a fiend another chance means disregarding human life, doesn't it?"

So says Zhao Jie, former leader of the Demon Cult and current proprietress of the inn named Not a Bandit Den.

For all her complaints, she got on with what needed doing efficiently enough.

Perhaps she was rushing to finish so she could hurry up and die. She always seemed a little contradictory.

Her face was weary and dispirited, yet she acted decisively.

She wanted nothing to do with the emotions people felt for one another, yet somehow became the object of many people's affection and the one they relied on.

Especially when it came to eating, she could outdo anyone.

Along the way, ties of human affection and the vibrant struggle of life kept tugging at her, flourishing uninhibitedly before her eyes.

Those warm, sunlit things unknowingly made her "a little more human."

And of course, troublesome people came knocking too.

There was one pest who had eight mouths, no shame, and a way of getting everywhere.

"Whatever you want, I'll sell it to you cheap."

So says Mo Chuangu, an information broker who fell in love at first sight and a storyteller who wouldn't take no for an answer.

Though some people are born in the abyss, their souls devoured by demons, left without heart or strength, with nothing but surrender in life,

there is always a shameless figure blocking the gates of hell, wearing the smile of a libertine as he asks:

"You want to die, but have you asked what I think?"

------------[Upcoming Novel Synopsis]---------------

Reader's Guide:

1. The male lead is a true eunuch.

2. The setting draws on the Ming dynasty but is fictional and unrelated to actual history.

3. A story about two mad people falling in love. They are each other's only love, body and soul. Happy ending.

This is a story about fate.

For twenty-five years, Fu Siwei clung to his dream of becoming a noble and upright knight-errant.

But from the day he entered the palace as a servant, his life held nothing but damp, sunless winters.

After fifteen years of scraping by, he finally tortured his enemy to death.

He escaped the palace, hoping to save his life and drift wherever fate took him.

But the shame he could never erase tormented his conflicted, chaotic heart.

The threads of fate tightened around him, drawing him into a trap laid long ago.

He had no choice but to tear off the disguise of an unsullied spirit with his own hands and return to that lightless place.

Fortunately, his bleak life still had one small comfort:

a person who existed only in his heart, someone he could long for but never reach.

He raised his cup and toasted the moon at the edge of the sky, wishing it would always be full.

Though the moon at his horizon was blood-red, sharp as a hook.

So absurd it was frightening.

Wenren Jingyue wandered the martial world under the name Blood Moon. She was chivalrous and righteous, but her methods were outrageous.

With a brush, she could fabricate scandalous rumors. Some people are alive, yet already dead.

With a blade, she could travel a thousand miles to kill one person. Some people die, yet can be made to die again and again.

Yet the person who did whatever she pleased was forced to shoulder a crushing burden.

Trapped in the sea of power and corruption at court, she had to rein in her nature and take every step with care.

At least when it came to love, she could indulge her true mad self and play out one domineering abduction after another.

She said she always got whatever she wanted.

The aloof, unconventional heroine was also a possessive woman who demanded what she wanted.

The avenger returned from hell was, in truth, a coward who said one thing and meant another.

But... that wasn't all!

Caught up in political circumstances, Wenren Jingyue borrowed another person's identity and became a low-ranking Embroidered Uniform Guard.

She plotted in secret, turned the tides, and loved provoking her superior, nearly killing her own husband by mistake.

Bound by fate, Fu Siwei returned to his cage and took charge of the Eastern Depot.

Unable to find himself and having lost his beloved, he suffered from skin hunger and spent his days crawling through the darkness.

So, summing up their four identities, this story could also be called:

The Adulterer Was Me All Along!
