[Story blurb]

Ding Yuehua, daughter of the commander guarding a strategic pass and heiress to a wealthy family in Songjiang.

Zhan Zhao, imperial bodyguard carrying a saber, bestowed by the emperor with the title “Imperial Cat.”

She roams the martial world, while he serves at court. Though they are engaged, they have never had the chance to meet.

Until one day, on the way to deliver a letter, she encounters a blind man...

Reader’s note: I wrote this one a long time ago, so please go easy on me if you find any issues.

[Star Shines, Moon Glows blurb]

Shen Xingyao, a disciple of the Kunlun Qiongshan Sect, was expelled from the sect after behaving improperly and acting perversely during the disciples’ trial tournament. Three years after coming down from the mountain, she has roamed far and wide, living freely and boldly as a lone wanderer so poor she can barely scrape together a living.

Until one day, she meets a young man by a river at the foot of Yufeng Mountain. A very beautiful young man.

He is probably the most handsome man she has ever met during her travels through the martial world. Not only is he handsome, he is quite wealthy, too.

By the time her background is exposed and she is branded a witch, she has no choice but to wander the world with him, traveling everywhere to clear her name of this age-old injustice. Only then does she discover that he is not only rich, but a little foolish as well.

He travels a thousand miles for her and braves the wind and snow to reach Kunlun, all to rescue her from the forbidden grounds.

He takes the blame for her and impersonates someone else, then gets trapped inside Xuanling Temple, where he faces ten thousand enemies alone and barely escapes with his life.

He injures one of his legs for her, is left with a lingering chill, and ends up imprisoned, with no way out. And for her, he...

Ling Wufei, a famous second-generation martial hero, has always been unconventional and delighted in going against everyone else since childhood.

While investigating the truth behind his father’s disappearance, he comes to the foot of Yufeng Mountain, where the old headquarters of the Tianxuan Sect once stood. There, by the river, he meets a woman, and from that moment on, no one else in heaven or on earth can catch his eye.

Her martial arts are superb, but she is a landlubber. Not only can she not swim, she even gets seasick.

She is inexperienced in worldly matters, yet exceptionally stubborn, straightforward, and never one to hide what she thinks.

She says whatever she wants and fights whenever there’s a fight to be had. She stays calm in a crisis, knows the world is vast, and still cherishes the green plants and trees. With a conviction in her heart, she fights for the martial world and all under heaven, and for the truth buried for nineteen years. She gives her life to defend the righteous path and would rather die than yield.

The mortal world is full of suffering, and life is a hard road, but this one ray of light is worth protecting for the rest of his life.

An ancient sword drinks frost and snow; a treasured blade honors heroic souls. Its soaring spirit flies a hundred fathoms high, sweeping the world clean of dust.

“Even if the world grows dark and the sun never rises again, the light of countless fireflies can still illuminate heaven and earth.”

Blurb for Even Gods and Demons Must Undergo Trials of Love

An ancient demon goddess with overwhelming power x an impassioned, puppy-like young man from an immortal sect

Jialing Pinga is a divine bird of the heavens, whose wondrous song sounds as though it belongs to both the celestial and human realms.

Named after the divine bird, she descends upon Luyun County, but is in fact an ancient evil god who has broken free from her seal.

She has lost all her memories, and the county’s residents do not know her identity either. Seeing her alone and helpless, they show her care and help at every turn. Shen Yan Feng, the young man who has come down the mountain on his master’s orders to find the reincarnation of a god, is also certain that she is divine.

Until one day, the true god appears and reveals her identity.

Lu Jialing loves the people of the world, and they love her in return. To prevent the ominous signs in the heavens from coming true, she resolutely severs her romantic ties and searches for a way to undo the calamity, willing to give up her life in exchange for peace throughout heaven and earth...

Broken Sky Blade

[Romance blurb]

A conspiracy. A bout of amnesia.

In just one year, a once deeply devoted couple go from being inseparable to becoming complete strangers, their affection turning to indifference and their bond breaking beyond repair.

Shen Xingyao regains her edge, leaves that man and the glory that belongs only to him behind, and sets off into her own martial world.

*

A calculated act of excessive praise forces Ling Wufei, who had long grown tired of fame and fortune, to take the position of Martial Alliance Leader.

Now she has come to claim that position for herself.

One letter declares their marriage ties severed.

One challenge letter calls for a duel atop Mount Tai.

He returns everything that should have belonged to her, yet still hears the words he dreaded most:

“Too bad. I don’t care about you anymore.”

(The romance between the junior brother and junior sister doesn’t go very well later on, so I’ll give the junior brother a little more page time to suffer in the sequel. I won’t include that in the blurb.)

Theme: I’m a canon-couple fan!
