[A striking, proud, tragic beauty of a prince x an optimistic, resilient, formidable, cool beauty]

Bai Yunfei is an orphan with nothing to her name, living the same dull life day after day.

Until one day, she goes to treat someone for a hundred taels and, by sheer coincidence, brings home a living “vase.”

Bai Yunfei discovers that this vase seems to bring bad luck.

Ever since she picked him up, forces from every side have been closing in. They are surrounded by danger, with assassinations and kidnappings coming one after another.

Scared? Not a chance.

One day, Qin Mu is surrounded by a group of men in black. Seeing how weak and helpless he looks, Bai Yunfei draws her ten-meter-long broadsword and stands fiercely by his side, cutting down one attacker after another. She looks just like a loyal underling, shouting encouragement and charging into battle.

From then on, Bai Yunfei leads the ideal life: beautiful company and thrilling danger.

Dodging assassins, fighting sea monsters, searching for merfolk, battling the Tai Sui, slaying golden corpses...

Please let her enjoy this wonderful life for a hundred years!

Qin Mu is brilliantly talented, dashing and spirited. Everyone says that he is less like a proud, arrogant prince and more like a free-spirited knight-errant.

But after he is poisoned by a strange toxin, he loses all his martial arts and has little time left to live. Branded a traitor, he flees through the countryside, and truly becomes a wandering knight.

He comes to the Li residence for a hundred taels, but suddenly suffers a relapse... When he opens his eyes again, Qin Mu discovers that Bai Yunfei has brought him home.

Qin Mu initially thinks they are nothing more than chance acquaintances, destined to go their separate ways. But in every life-or-death moment that follows, Bai Yunfei is by his side, leading him step by step out of darkness and into the light.

.

He once firmly believed that people were impossible to trust. Now, for the first time, he finds himself longing for genuine affection.

Qin Mu: I will sincerely fall in love with a white cloud.

Notes:

1. Sweet romance, one-on-one, happy ending.

2. Alternate history, with a world setting of my own design.

3. An ancient-style road-trip novel. The early part focuses on the martial world, with a little court intrigue later on.

Coming soon: Crossing the Demons

[Reading guide]:

A collection of stories about demons and ghosts, from the southwestern frontier to the capital. Each volume, a new place and a new demon.

[A smiling Taoist who is warm on the outside and cold within x a black-hearted, ruthless young heir with yin-yang eyes]

*

At the founding of the dynasty, the Great Ancestor joined forces with the Celestial Masters to eradicate evil spirits. After establishing the country, he founded the Xuanjing Bureau to oversee supernatural affairs throughout the land.

By the Yongning era, corruption had taken root in the highest reaches of the court, while demons began to stir in the distant corners of the martial world.

The orphan A You was raised from childhood by an old Celestial Master, who gave her the Taoist name Xuanwei.

She chants slogans every day about slaying demons, protecting the mortal world, and keeping people safe, but feels it has nothing to do with her.

All she wants is to stay by the old Celestial Master's side and live a carefree life.

But everything changed when she was eleven.

The Xuanjing Bureau summoned the old Celestial Master to subdue a demon, but he never returned and all trace of him vanished.

Nine years later, Xuanwei receives a blood-letter directing her deep into the forests of the southwest.

Ten thousand mountains, thick miasma, ancient trees and tangled vines, and mountain demons that demand lives.

To find out what happened to her master, Xuanwei beats down the senior disciple blocking her way and finally sets out on her long journey to exterminate demons.

But people with hidden agendas arrive one after another.

The strangest of them all, in Xuanwei's opinion, is that half-demon.

The first time he meets Xuanwei, she slits a mountain demon's throat with one stroke of her sword, then tells him,

“See? I'm very good at this. You won't feel a thing.”

The second time they meet, she smashes a giant serpent's skull with one punch, then orders him,

“Dig out the inner core and wrap it up for me. Keep your eyes open.”

The third time they meet, she kills someone and carries off the body, and once again, he catches her in the act.

Watching her smile, Shaoyu silently finds a spot with good feng shui and starts digging a grave.

Sure enough, she's a thieving Taoist who kills and robs people!

Notes:

1. Plot-driven.

2. Set in an imagined ancient world. Please don't nitpick the historical details.

3. Strong female lead, whose combat ability is off the charts. The male lead is not just a background character.
