The Performer Was Always a Man of Grace and Integrity

The He family of Huaicheng was an illustrious clan, one that had stood firm even amid the flames of war.

And yet the He family produced a little tyrant who bullied men and women, treated human life as worthless, and committed every kind of evil.

Later, the little tyrant fell for an opera singer, doting on him like a precious jewel and guarding him as if he were his own eyes.

Before long, the little tyrant died.

Chu Feiwan was once the eldest young master of the He family. After his mother was murdered, his own father drove him out, leaving him a stray with nowhere to turn. Later, a friend cheated him out of every last penny. Desperate, he went to drown himself.

But a scholar saved him.

The scholar was as bright and noble as the moon. He gave Chu Feiwan a brocade sachet to help him out of trouble, then urged him to serve his country and showed him the way forward.

Chu Feiwan caught one fleeting glimpse of him and fell in love at first sight.

Later, after making a name for himself, he spent ten years searching for that man.

Just when he thought he would never see him again, Chu Feiwan found the man he loved in the He family, a clan he despised with all his heart.

His beloved had been forced beyond recognition. His whole family had been killed, leaving him consumed by hatred.

From the moment they reunited, Chu Feiwan swore an oath.

He would make sure his beloved shone like the bright moon, secure on his lofty perch.

Everyone who had hurt him would pay the price.

Lin Qingxu's entire family had been killed by the He family. He hated them to the bone, so he concealed his identity, continually drawing closer to them as he waited for a chance to take revenge.

After enduring humiliation for so long, he finally got his wish: the He family paid the price, wailing in agony as their manor was reduced to rubble and razed to the ground.

But after all the twists and turns, the person he loved most turned out to have He family blood in his veins too.

Reading Guide:

1. A short story, probably only tens of thousands of words. Lin Qingxu is the shou, and Chu Feiwan is the gong.

2. The gong is a member of the He family, but he isn't among the shou's enemies. Not only that, he also helps the shou.

3. A revenge story with a happy ending.

4. The whole story is made up, set in an alternate era. Don't take it seriously or nitpick the details. It has absolutely nothing to do with reality!
