[Wuxia Crossover] A Beauty Bright as the Moon

Volume One: White Jade Beauty How to survive in a twisted family. The Moon Gazing Lodge stood over ten zhang tall, with no stairs or walkways. The only way up or down was by using qinggong. When the young man arrived, the girl stood silently by the window, her waist so slender it could be encircled in one hand. He had no idea what she was looking at. The young man quietly concealed his presence and watched in silence. After a long while, the girl finally noticed him. “Elder Brother.” The young man slightly furrowed his sword-like brows. “Why are you so formal with me?” The girl hesitated a little. “Brother.” The young man got what he wanted and smiled. “Come sit closer, A Yue. Let me have a look at you. It’s been so long since I last saw you.” He slowly lifted a corner of her white veil. The girl had glossy dark hair and rosy cheeks, with beauty enough to topple a kingdom. In all the ages, there had never been anyone more beautiful. Volume Two: The Hundred Flowers Tower While traveling the jianghu, the second son of the Hua family fell in love at first sight with a dashing woman. He pursued her several times, all to no avail. The woman confessed, “I have a younger sister whom I treasure like a jewel. Since our parents passed away, we’ve had only each other. When I marry, I must take her with me.” The second son of the Hua family smiled. “What’s so difficult about that? Bring your sister along. No one in the Hua family will object.” The woman covered her mouth and giggled. Sure enough, when they exchanged their wedding vows, she was holding the hand of a little girl as delicate as a snow doll, all dressed up in pink and white. The Hua parents not only didn’t mind, they adored her. Madam Hua said, “I always wanted a daughter, but fate wasn’t on my side. I had seven sons in a row. At last, my wish has come true.” She then called to her youngest son, “Take your little sister to get some pastries. Don’t bully her, understand?” The two children ran out hand in hand to play, like the golden boy and jade maiden beside Guanyin. Volume Three: Golden Wind, Gentle Rain On a cold winter day at dusk, beneath a darkening sky, the peerlessly beautiful girl returned with a sword on her back. Everyone crowded around her, showering her with mindless praise. The young man in red stood like an unquenchable flame, his robes fluttering. In a stern voice, he demanded, “Why were you one breath late when you assassinated Zhu Jiu?” The girl slightly furrowed her brows, but before she could explain, a group of subordinates came to her defense. “The young master is so precious and distinguished. Why should she learn such killing techniques? We can do the job for her.” The young man in red sneered and challenged them directly. “Can you follow her every hour of every day without looking away? Can you live forever, for a thousand years?” Everyone submitted to the tower lord's wrath, speechless. Only the girl was unafraid. She stepped forward with practiced ease to take his pulse, then swiftly wrote out a prescription. Steward Yang held the prescription as reverently as an imperial decree. A Yue brought tea and water, then a pillow, taking meticulous care of her master. Tower Lord Su couldn't save face, so he glared coldly at his followers. “Are you all that free?” Everyone scattered like startled birds and beasts. A Yue pulled the Red Sleeve Knife from his sleeve, cut her own wrist, and fed him her blood. Tower Lord Su sighed helplessly. She was the only person in the world who could take the Red Sleeve Knife from his hand. When he refused to drink, she threw herself at him and pinned him to the couch. “How dare you!” This was utter defiance, a complete reversal of the proper order between master and disciple. Tower Lord Su: “I’m the master, and you’re the disciple. A disciple should listen to her master!” Gu Baiyue: “I’m the healer, and you’re the patient. A patient should listen to their healer!” Notes: 1. The heroine is the central character throughout. None of the main characters are related to her by blood, and there is more to her background than meets the eye. 2. Each volume is a separate world. The heroine occasionally recalls memories of her past life, but they are rather vague. Theme: Grow stronger in adversity and never give up.
