Completed! I hope the grown-ups will enjoy it!
For the follow-up story about the two Yuan brothers and the extra chapters filling in the gaps, see the author's column, The Outcast [Reborn].
The characters' names and forms of address have been revised. Please refer to the updated version.
A seemingly aloof but actually sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, ambitious gong x a decisive and gentle, sickly beauty shou. Yuan Such en x Yuan Shang'an, older gong, fake that sort of thing :). Unlimited in-line comments are open, so come join the fun.
(A note for readers who might need it: the reader account has never subscribed to the insect-world novel with a dominant gong. The novel it collected and purchased was a friend's insect queen novel with a dominant shou. The two have completely different worldviews.)
After vowing to clear the names of the wronged across the land, Yuan Shang'an went to the capital to serve as an official. Unfortunately, he was caught up in a treason case. Not only was he tortured until his old ailments flared up, but he was also driven out of the capital under the pretext of being promoted to prefect.
Remote Xiazhou was overrun by bandits and brigands. Powerful local families colluded with the authorities, while descendants of a once-foreign people were itching to make trouble. Not one of them was easy to deal with.
His enemies in the capital eagerly awaited some good news: his death.
Yuan Shang'an responded with a cold laugh.
As far as he was concerned, Xiazhou was full of experience points: experience points, experience points, and even more experience points.
If the people had been wronged, that was a heaven-sent chance to win their hearts. If bandits ran rampant, that was the perfect place to train troops. If the powerful families grew too big, they were practically delivering gold and silver to his door.
Sending someone who had conquered the capital's highest-level dungeon and mastered the art of political maneuvering to Xiazhou was a complete case of overkill.
The prefect had plenty of strength and means at his disposal!
Years later, when the army took Luoyang, the enemies who had once humiliated and obstructed him at every turn trembled in fear. Explain to me what you mean by “good news.”
In addition to clearing the names of the wronged, young Yuan Shang'an had another dream.
He would keep climbing until he reached the rank just below one person and above everyone else. Only then could he fulfill his ambitions.
Of course, making the journey alone would be incredibly difficult.
So he did whatever he could to deal with the people of Xiazhou: threatening and enticing them, pretending to cooperate, concealing his identity, speaking sweetly, or even... inviting them with affection.
Somehow, he accidentally racked up a huge debt of affection. The people around him drew their swords, all red-eyed and furious, vowing to make Yuan Shang'an pay dearly.
Amid their indignation, only one person solemnly promised him:
“Shang'an. In a person's life, the hardest thing to find is a heart that willingly gives itself. I came for you today. Even if I die along the way, I will never regret it.”
Yuan Shang'an replied, “How could I bear to let you fall before you reach me?”
Wise men don't fall in love, unless it's with my big brother (just kidding).
Content warning: They are not blood-related, and there is no incestuous relationship. This has a reverse harem tendency, so don't read if that's not your thing.
Yuan Shang'an, commander of the Great Wei intelligence service, was stunningly beautiful, decisive, and chronically ill.
He had personally raised his elder brother to the position of chancellor and was known throughout the realm for his ruthless methods. The entire court trembled before him and never stopped cursing him.
Yet he never imagined that, to seize the throne, his brother would allow his subordinates to hunt him down and kill him.
In the bitterest depths of winter, an arrow pierced his heart. Yuan Shang'an vomited blood until the end, dying with hatred in his heart.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to four years earlier.
*
By all the usual rules, he should have repented, humbled himself, and begged the powerful minister to spare him.
Yuan Shang'an gave a cold laugh.
He tore away his gentle, refined facade and became twice as ruthless, determined to follow this path to the bitter end.
At a banquet, he killed a witness in full view of everyone. Blood sprayed three feet high, and the officials fell silent.
On the Rouran grasslands, he tore up the treaty and went back on his word, striking fear into every heart.
He had only wanted to enjoy himself before he died, but he never expected that
The old ministers who had once cursed him without end would personally clear his name;
The barbarians who had once sworn to kill him would kneel before him;
The censors who had once despised his character would write books in his praise, determined to make his name immortal.
They all admired him, respected him, and acknowledged him as a legendary hero who would be remembered throughout history.
*
Yet he cast aside his posthumous reputation as worthless. Yuan Shang'an drew his long sword and pointed it straight at the powerful minister of Wei, his former lover: Yuan Suchen.
He waited for them both to be gravely wounded, for them to die together, for this ill-fated love that had entangled them for half their lives to end in blood.
But what came was not a deadly standoff on a snowy night. It was a trembling embrace.
The person who had galloped over to him wept uncontrollably as he gathered him into his arms, then asked, “If we stay together for the rest of our lives and live to a hundred, how is that not dying together?”
CP: Yuan Suchen x Yuan Shang'an. Don't worry, there is no impermissible blood relationship.
Reader's guide:
1. The blurb is written from Yuan Shang'an's perspective, and there are misunderstandings. Yuan Suchen is not a scumbag gong, he has not wronged Yuan Shang'an, and he did not kill him.
2. There are no secondary CPs in this novel. Everyone's white moonlight is Yuan Shang'an.
3. It's not melodramatic, and it's not a story about a lover seeking redemption. Both characters are deeply in love with each other, and the pairing won't be switched or reversed.
4. Yuan Shang'an is literally a heartthrob: lots of people like him, both men and women. The author did a rough count, and there seem to be seventeen or eighteen of them... If that's not your thing, don't read!
5. Yuan Shang'an is something of a saintly type. He's friendly to many people but doesn't return their feelings. He only loves his big brother.
Theme: Through its portrayal of struggles in an ancient setting, this novel reveals the inevitable demise of feudal society and celebrates the indomitable spirit of defending one's homeland.
Here we have nine endings for idealists.
Bad Ending 1: Isolated Prisoner
No one understands your pursuit and ideals, and everything you do is so out of place here. Perhaps the filthy darkness cannot tolerate the pure whiteness, and your existence seems to be the greatest humiliation to them. So heavy shackles are placed on your body, and your right to finally redress your grievances is also deprived. What was once higher than all ideals has finally become one of the crimes that binds you.
Bad Ending 2: Sacrifice on the Road
You seem to have achieved your original ideal, but when you look around, you suddenly realize that the people you used to pursue together have already left. You don't remember what caused their death. Maybe death and sacrifice are the only way to realize your ideal. But if this is the case, is everything you are pursuing so hard just to bring your relatives and friends to the altar one by one?
Bad Ending 3: Lonely Crying on a Snowy Night
You work non-stop for your ideals, and the heavy burden crushes your already sick body. You think about arranging everything before you die, but you forget that power breeds ambition most easily. The partners who were like-minded to you are now beyond recognition. They no longer understand your lonely pursuit, but are eager to push you to destruction in order to compete for the power you have vacated. Illness and betrayal have left you unable to resist. Once you were a challenger to the law of rise and fall, but now you have to become a part of reincarnation.
Bad ending 4: The hateful face in the mirror
Relying on the pursuit of your ideals, you have summoned a large number of followers. They have become an aid to your rise to a high position, but they have also become an obstacle to your further actions. As a highly respected minister, you are admired by others but also hated and feared by others. There have been too many betrayals and injuries, and the only way to deal with them seems to be killing. So you raised the butcher knife in your hand, but when you were alone late at night, you couldn't help but think of the ancestor you hated the most, and you suddenly looked up and suddenly realized that your face was very similar to his without knowing it.
Normal ending 1: endless road
You decipher layer after layer of intrigues and become an expert at dealing with your enemies. Things are so intertwined with each person that you find it difficult to separate them completely. So you can't stop. The destruction of one conspiracy means the beginning of another investigation. When can the ideal be fully realized? You don't know the answer, you just know that the road will continue.
Ordinary Ending 2: Daily trivial passing away
You took over the power and thought you were qualified to realize your ideals, but it was the events that followed that troubled you the most. Not only do you need to appease the masses and rebuild your home, you also need to take care of the emotions and thoughts of your followers... Fortunately, you can still find time to balance all this. But you also realize that ideals do not mean grandeur. The most difficult part is how to resist the trivial wear and tear of life.
Good ending 1: The founder of the new system
You have gained power with like-minded people, but you have long been disenchanted with it, knowing that it is nothing more than a tool to achieve your ideals. You need authority to get your personnel in order, and people who truly love you and want to follow your instructions. A new order begins to be gradually established, the ideal country is waving to you, and the people you care about most are still by your side.
Good Ending 2: The spread of ideal fire
In the process of building a new system, you use this model to select successors who are good enough to take over. Spending time with young people always makes you feel happy physically and mentally, and you are willing to give them what you have learned throughout your life. You know that death is not the end. In this long world, there is always an eternal existence - the immortality of ideals. Even if you leave, there will still be people following your path thousands of years from now.
Hidden ending: The idealist's long song
You have always stuck to the promise you made, and your perseverance has been rewarded with a response. Your ideals will be taken over by those who come after you, but it doesn't matter whether those who come after you fully recognize your beliefs, because you have already arranged everything through your wisdom, and they can only follow the established path and cannot deviate from it, otherwise they will accept the anger from the masses. After you've done all this, you know it's time to get out of here. You made one last request, and that was to take your lover away. After that, everything about you came to an abrupt end, and your subsequent life no longer appears in official records. But you and your lover, and your story have long been an enduring song, an epic that cannot be erased, and an eternal monument.
The main text ends here, but the story of Yuan Suchen and Yuan Shang'an is far from over. The next main line is from the perspective of the South, but the outline of the copy is still being polished [Let Me Kangkang] I will tell you all the news in time [Let Me Kangkang]
I started to feel heartbroken when I saw it [crying] [crying] [crying]
In fact, when I first started reading it, I was really unwilling to see the last ending of this chapter. Should I just put it down like this? But after reading it, I found that this hidden ending is the best and the most perfect. Their unattainable ending will become my eternal cinnabar mole. The long song of idealism... The history of martyrs has been trapped in a snow all their lives. They know you from the snow. They forget you from the snow. But readers and your loved ones come from outside the snow. Shang'an. Is Shang'an? I think I also like his story, but this extra chapter is actually the ending that I vaguely expected in the previous article. You died in an unidealized historical battle, but your ideals last forever, leading future generations to a new path. You have exhausted all your mechanisms. Did you think of today's ending at the beginning? You are still here. You have embarked on this path. Take your lover and the night will pass. The ending of the two of you does not seem to be happy, but I see an enduring song, an epic that cannot be erased. It is an eternal monument. I am glad that I knew you before that snow. Yuan Shangan
An unidealized epic [crying] Well written... Well...
So cruel [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] Author, please hurry up and come up with all kinds of sweet extras
Yuan Shangan has been trapped in a snow all his life
A little after 11pm on July 4, 25
I have said that I would write a long review a long time ago, but I have put off writing it until now. It has been almost completed for more than a month, and I feel that the days of catching up on updates are still vivid in my mind.
[Poor]
First of all, and of course the most important thing is to congratulate us on the completion of "The End of the Night"! ! !
Throw flowers! ! !
Congratulations to our Shuangyuan for successfully entering Luoyang and occupying the high ground! The Luoyang script is about to start hahaha! ! Let's start a life of power like this! Wow! !
Then congratulations to our teacher Mo! ! ! Give us such a wonderful story! ! !
I really want to recommend this article to everyone who has not watched "The End of the Night"! ! I rarely read articles like this with the background of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it helped me understand a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before.
What impressed me the most was of course the story of Ming Di. How about the incident of Mao Dunshan Yu shooting his father? He Lianyi did the same thing with Shanshan by borrowing a knife to kill someone. It gave me a feeling of careful thought and slight fear. Of course, it's not that I'm afraid. It's because our teacher Mo's writing style and descriptions are so wonderful.
Just talk about whatever comes to mind... In short, it's just random thoughts...
When I read it, I always say: Don't read it today, don't read it yet, and wait until tomorrow to read it. Then my fingers involuntarily opened the novel, and then I plunged into it, and then I didn't know what the world was.
Especially towards the end, my scalp was numb, my heartbeat was racing, and my whole body was tense. It felt like I was participating in their power grab and battle. It made me feel so good, and I felt hearty and irregular. I felt like the refreshing feeling of drinking a sip of iced Coke in the summer. Of course, I am not talking about them. The road to seizing power is very simple, but the road to seizing power in Shuangyuan is full of hardships and difficulties. I feel like I am wandering between life and death every step of the way. This kind of pleasure refers to reading it in one breath. God knows that I was so happy and dripping. I read it in one breath. At that time, I was so excited that I tossed and turned in the bed and screamed silently.
Later, I repeatedly appreciated the last sentence "The long night is coming to an end." It gave me a feeling that everything is about to end, but everything is about to begin again.
The meaning is still not finished.
I wish I could arrest Teacher Mo, lock him up and code words every day, and put him in a small dark room hehe (making an evil laugh)
I'm really looking forward to our dual-origin modern drama, it feels like it's going to make me die of cuteness, it's so cute that my heart melts! !
The characters in the article all left a deep impression on me. Of course, the one who impressed me the most was you, He Lianzhang! You make my feelings for you jump repeatedly between "distressed" and "hateful", making me love and hate you. This kind of feeling may also be your feelings for Shanshan... It's hard to put into words...
Then, emmm, to be fair, putting aside personal feelings, let's have a competition of health tea to see who is shorter than Shanshan and who gets the bushi. Just kidding...
Shanshan is really my favorite protagonist in the many novels I have read. She is gentle and powerful.
It really means that we are competing for health tea, and we are competing, and I am a bit ignorant. Hehe.
Then, now I am looking forward to Pussycat and The Big Secret, really looking forward to the story of the Southland, and I like Puppy Attack hahaha.
However, the story about the past life in the extra chapter hurt me. It stabbed me hard, and I felt a sense of powerlessness, a powerlessness that cannot be changed. I understand Shen Jingyuan's powerlessness as a puppet, but I'm sorry, I am the protagonist... So I'll tell you about you quietly.
Of course, our Shuangyuan 99, the young couple will love each other for the rest of their lives, okay?
If you continue to be happy like this, the monsters and monsters should leave! ! !
I'm really grateful to Teacher Mo for bringing such a good character like Shuangyuan to us. Hug me and give me a kiss, two kisses, three kisses (mua)
I wish Teacher Mo better and better! Keep writing better articles hahahahahahahahahahahaha, and always look forward to the next one! ! !
Teacher Mo, I love you (affectionate confession), have you received it? [Love Eyes] [Love Eyes] [Love Eyes]
