(The first half of the story is complete! The author is working hard to plan the second half. This is a long story, and the latter part has a complex plot woven through many historical events, so it will take time to research. Once it's ready, I'll post it all at once! Thank you all for keeping me company and waiting!!)
Full-text paragraph comments are open. My Weibo: @XiaoXun_ Feel free to follow! I'll drop little bonuses from time to time, as well as (you know what I mean~)
[Blurb]
Chu Xuan, the righteous son of Zhang Yi, chancellor of Qin, happened to rescue a gravely ill child on the verge of death in a snowstorm and brought him home to raise by his side.
"Wonderful, wonderful. He's obedient and sensible, and just my type. How delightful!"
He raised the child with a mixture of care and teasing, nursing him to adulthood. He thought he'd won himself a beauty, but who could have guessed that when this "little beauty" grew up, he would ride not only warhorses but Chu Xuan too...
Chu Xuan: What went wrong here?
Lin Zhe: Big brother, I'm hurting. Let me hold you for a while~
Lin Zhe x Chu Xuan
In a land torn by war, they stand together.
Though an icy mountain may rise between us, cutting us off from the world, and though blizzards may make the road impassable, I will cross mountains and seas, shatter the frozen peaks, and come to you through the snow.
I will never leave you, and I will repay you with my whole life!
[Setting]
In ancient times, Fuxi drew the first line and opened up the world, creating the Yin-Yang Bagua Formation. To protect the formation, which revealed the principles governing all things, Fuxi established the Tiandan Order. The Tiandan Order was charged with safeguarding the formation and all life in the world.
A century later, the Central Plains entered an age of feuding lords and fierce competition. Dynasties rose and fell, kingdoms fought, and seven powers contended for hegemony over the Central Plains. The Tiandan Order fragmented into the Hundred Schools of Thought, each corresponding to the fates of all living beings.
It was a magnificent age, and an age of chaos in which people sought the one ruler who could unite the land.
Smoke from the beacon fires spread across the territories of the seven kingdoms,
Horses and chariots trampled across thousands of miles,
The battle song "No Clothes" rang without end,
And the Hundred Schools of Thought contended, bright as a sky full of stars.
The Son of Heaven's Sword has reappeared in the world. Legend says that whoever wields it will become the ruler of all under Heaven and end this age of chaos. Who will unite the land of China, end war through war, and bring peace and prosperity to the realm?
"I am willing to make myself a piece on the board and enter this chaotic game, shaping the fate of the world. The torrential storms will eventually subside, and the chaos will end in the hands of one person. While caught up in this game, I ask only that I remain true to my conscience and myself."

[Reader's Guide]
1. This is a semi-fictional Warring States setting with an original worldbuilding. There is history and martial arts, but everything serves the story. Follow the timeline in the text, and don't overanalyze the historical accuracy!
2. The romance between the gong and shou is very sweet! A younger man raised alongside his childhood friend becomes his lover. They're both pure, in a 1v1 relationship with mutual feelings! The gong appears first, and the shou soon follows!
The shou is a clever little fox. The gong starts out as a puppy, then becomes a wolf after his confession. Happy ending!!!
3. The characters' ages and personalities are fictional and don't represent real historical figures.
Everyone is fully rounded, with good and bad in them. The men are ruthless, and so are the women. It's a clash of powerful people!
4. This story is meant to spark interest in this period of history. If it succeeds in making readers curious about it, that will be its greatest value!
* A list of reference books will be included after the story ends. Some quotations in the text will also be cited. For now, I would like to pay tribute to all the literary classics I have referenced.
Some of the characters' ideas and beliefs may come from my own humble opinions, and I hope you'll take them in good humor. Please consider the characters' ideas in the context of their time, the Warring States period. Don't judge them by today's standards.
Reading novels is all about having fun. If you don't like it, please don't argue or criticize, so you don't upset yourself. We are strangers who met by chance. If we're meant to stay, let's stay; if not, we'll part ways and forget each other~
Theme: Stay true to your original convictions and keep moving forward.

Double update today! The last chapter is sweet 😳 and I want to tell you one thing. It can be regarded as a decision made after repeated thinking in the past few days: Some time ago, a physical examination revealed that I had some problems with my cervical spine. The doctor said that I should not sit down to write for a long time, and I should cooperate with acupuncture treatment regularly. Because I am used to writing manuscripts first (currently around 66w, I write manuscripts first) and then modify them while typing them on the computer. In addition, the following plot needs to have a tight rhythm and character lines. If the plot is incoherent and the logic is broken, it will affect the viewing experience, so I decided to stop for a few days to polish the next plot, and then finish it in one go! This time will not be later than mid-December (at the latest), and I will post the story as soon as I finish it! You won't cheat me and I will do what I say. Another point is that I have been too busy at work recently. I have to receive experts to give academic lectures for the next week. I have been busy from morning to night recently. When I am too tired, my brain shuts down and I cannot empathize with the plot and characters, which will make the story flat and empty. This is not what I want to see. Since you spend time and energy to start a work, you must carefully carve it out. At least the author must be satisfied before it can be published. This is a kind of responsibility for the story and writing itself. I know that the interruption of updates may lead to the loss of readers and the reduction of data. Although there are not many updates recently, I am very happy to have one that I cherish! After all, I am a newcomer and I am afraid that no one will read it, but I cannot blindly update regardless of quality. The most important thing for an author is to be responsible for the story he writes. This is the best way to be responsible to the readers. Writing is really something that requires the company of readers, but I know that everyone is very busy, so just relax. I also hope that the relationship between writing and reading will be happy and relaxed. Thank you little angels for your waiting and understanding!
More! There is a small theater in this chapter. I looked at the collection and before I knew it, it was almost a thousand!! I'm really touched and touched. Thank you all for your willingness to collect and support!! Thank you also for liking A Zhe and Xuan'er hehe 😍, so here's a piece of news: I will write a side story with a modern background during the Mid-Autumn Festival! The characters are: Chu Xuan, a university teacher, Lin Che, a prospective senior in college, and they are still pseudo-brothers in foster care hehe 😏~ One more thing to say, the cars in Chapter 94 will be distributed in the parking lot tonight (around ten o'clock)! I was too busy some time ago, and I had some minor health problems after the physical examination and I have been going to the hospital for treatment. This little car has never been able to say sorry to the waiting Baozi 😭! Let Xiao Chuxuan be on top this time (of course it is impossible to counterattack, he will never even think about it in his life 😳😳) Make a final wish: I hope that before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can get my first thousand income [make a fortune] [make a fortune] [make a fortune] [make a fortune] [make a fortune] before the Mid-Autumn Festival
Long wait, dear boys!! The author is ready to return! In the past year, the author experienced some things in the third dimension, which had a great impact on his life and spirit. Because he was not in a good state and did not want to affect the quality of the story, writing was put on hold for a while; this year also saw the arrival of new young readers, and I was really touched to see your comments and interactions 😭 😭 Thank you very much for your company and love, and because you made me feel healed and comforted when I was in a very bad and depressed state. You also made me feel that I want to keep writing! ❤️❤️ I have also been reviewing and thinking during this period, and I have gained new insights into story writing itself. I will slowly adjust my state and start writing again!! I hope everything will go well in 2026 and everything will go as you wish [Spread flowers][Spread flowers][Spread flowers]
I would like to tell all readers: I have been in a bad state recently. It may be that the three-dimensional work pressure and some life events have affected my writing state, so I still want to take a pause to adjust my mood before continuing to create 🥺. I feel sorry that the story was shelved for a month due to my own reasons, but for me, writing after all requires emotional and ideological precipitation. If I am too impetuous and cannot calm down, I will not be able to write. A satisfactory work, and I feel ashamed of all the readers and the characters in this work. The reason why I don't want to sign a contract at this stage is because I want to concentrate on creating without any burden, so after comprehensive consideration, I plan to put it on hold for a while, but in the process I will still read books to accumulate materials and save manuscripts, but I will definitely not get into trouble (this is the principle I set the moment I started writing). I will return immediately after I have dealt with the things in life and adjusted my state! We won't keep you waiting too long!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Today is Christmas Eve 😚, but because of my CAV, the protagonist group is still spending Christmas Eve in the secret passage (pit) 💔. Of course, I am also spending it with them (writing hard), trying to get them out of the pit as soon as possible!! But today is Christmas Eve, so I still want to make a cookie 😏 😳 It's actually a short clip from the extra story. The background of the story is that Lin Che came to the world more than ten years ago for some reason and met the three-year-old Chu Xuan. One day, little Chuxuan sneaked out and was beaten by his father. After returning home, he lost his temper in bed. Lin Che sneaked into the house and climbed out of the window to see him: "Did you have a fight with your father?" Little Chuxuan pouted, but his butt still hurt. He felt a burning pain when he moved. The pain made him feel more aggrieved and ashamed. He covered his head with a pillow and said angrily, "I don't want to study! Why can other children go out to play, but I sit in front of the desk all day reading those poems and essays? It's so boring!" When he said this, he felt even more aggrieved. His nose became sore and his eyes turned red. He unconsciously cried and complained, "Why is my father like this? No one else is like this!" Lin Che felt funny and a little distressed when he saw him like this. Didn't he expect that his brother would do this when he was a child? He straightened his expression and said to the angry child on the couch using the words and tone commonly used by elders all over the world: "Your father also does it for your own good. When you grow up, you will understand your father's good intentions." Little Chuxuan paused, poked his little head out of the pillow, and looked at Lin Che with a faint look: "You are not the person sent by my father, are you? You spy!" Children will always subconsciously form a team when they quarrel. Anyone who disagrees with them is the so-called "spy". Lin Che almost couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth, and coughed twice tactically: "Of course not, I don't know your father." Little Chuxuan looked at him suspiciously and thought: That's right. His father probably doesn't know anyone who practices martial arts, let alone someone as young and beautiful as the one in front of him. The people he met were all as boring as him, so he nodded, which once again brought Lin Che back to his "camp". "By the way, big brother, I still don't know what your name is?" "Lin Che." Lin Che added, "Rut's rut." "Lin Che? The word "Zhe" is a good word." Chu Xuan nodded to himself. Although he didn't know what was good about it, he felt that it was good. He also introduced himself, "My name is Chu Xuan, which should be a greeting. You can just call me Xuan'er." Listening to what he said, Lin Che probably confirmed that at the current time, Zhang Yi and Chu Xuan had not yet officially met and got to know each other. After nodding, he took out a cloth bag from his arms with a smile, opened it and put it in front of Chu Xuan, "Hello, Xuan'er, this is my meeting gift for you." Little Chuxuan's eyes lit up and he found that there were many candies and cakes in the bag, the same ones he saw outside an ancient sugar cake shop he walked around yesterday. But he had no money and could only watch. He didn't expect that they would actually appear in front of him so soon! "Brother, you are so kind!!!" Little Chuxuan picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said vaguely while eating it, his branches quivering with laughter. Looking at his appearance at this moment, one would never imagine that just a second ago he was sulking and ignoring others after being punished for being beaten and complaining to his father. "Big brother, you are so kind! You are much better than my dad!" "Then you call me dad?" Lin Che chuckled and raised his eyebrows. Little Chuxuan really thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head and said: "No, you are so young, it would be a shame to be a father, calling you brother is more like it." Lin Che's heart was beating wildly, and he suddenly became interested and teased him: "Really? Then call me brother and let me hear it." "Okay!" Xiao Chuxuan smiled happily and called to Lin Che: "Brother Azhe." Lin Che didn't expect that Chu Xuan would call him like this. After calling him, he was petrified for three seconds and then looked at little Chu Xuan intently with his ears burning red. "Brother A-Zhe, are you hot?" "Ah?" Lin Che came to his senses. Little Chuxuan wanted to sit up, but because of the pain in his buttocks, he couldn't sit still. He simply got out of bed and leaned in front of Lin Che, tilting his head and asking, "I see your face is red, but it's not hot tonight either? Are you sick?"
Hello little angels, although I have stopped updating recently, I have been stocking up on manuscripts (I will never be cheated!!!!!).
