General Xuanping

Upcoming: The Reborn Cannon Fodder in a Cultivation Novel. Blurb at the end

[Decisive Jianghu Wanderer vs. Unruly Young General]

A powerful couple who love and fight each other

Everyone in the capital knew.

Sang Lan, the Prince Duan's manor's cousin, cared nothing for poetry or books and was no good at needlework. She was steeped in the ways of the jianghu, and her archery skills were unrivaled in the capital.

Wei Anyan, the young marquis of the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence, had accompanied his father to guard the border as a boy. He captured the eldest prince of the northern deserts alive and earned outstanding military merits.

By rights, two young prodigies of such exceptional talent should have admired one another. But after they both entered the court, they crossed swords with words in the imperial hall and clashed with blades outside it, fighting to the death.

Sang Lan: "If General Wei insists on making an enemy of me, then my arrows won't care who they hit. Surrender early, and you might still live."

Wei Anyan: "General Sang, my sword has tasted the blood of countless foes. What makes you think you won't be the one to fall today?"

Few people knew.

Wei Anyan's life belonged to Sang Lan.

They had secretly become husband and wife. The bed curtains rang as desire and resentment tangled together.

Little scene 1:

Killing intent sent a layer of snow flying. Before Sang Lan could answer, a flash of swordlight swept past. She gripped both ends of an iron chain and used it like a staff, blocking the descending sword.

The man was powerfully built, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted. His snow-white hair fluttered in the moonlight, and his bright red lips curved slightly. His voice was lazy: "What is it, miss? Are you mute, or do you simply not know how to talk?" He pressed down with his sword from above, forcing Sang Lan's waist to bend lower and lower.

Little scene 2:

The damp, hot breeze brought a flush to Wei Anyan's cheeks. He gazed at the bright amber eyes beneath Sang Lan's mask.

The Imperial Guards had not gone far. He reached out and put an arm around Sang Lan's shoulder, switching their positions. Looking down at the rouge she had not wiped away, vivid and bewitching, he felt the desire to bite those lips that had lingered ever since the banquet. He drew close, yet apprehension rose in his heart.

Sang Lan sensed that he wanted to come closer and grabbed his chin, lifting it. "What is it you want from me tonight?"

Reading guide:

1. One couple, one-on-one; both leads are chaste

2. The heroine is slow to realize her feelings; early on, the hero pursues her through a gauntlet of suffering

3. The leads grow as the story unfolds. The plot builds slowly, and the romance is bittersweet

4. An alternate history with many original liberties. Please don't overanalyze the historical details

5. Volume One: Lone Boat, Knightly Shadows (Cat-Faced Alan), focused on solving cases

Volume Two: Stranger's Saber, Rivers and Mountains (General Xuanping), focused on the battlefield

6. Cover art by @Teng Er

Neighboring book: The Reborn Cannon Fodder in a Cultivation Novel

Tu Sanliang's memories of her death have returned.

She transmigrated into a male-oriented cultivation novel,

where she was a stepping stone on the path of the domineering male lead.

The domineering male lead was "forced" to take her superior pill-spirit root, protected by a puppet crafted from her body, and fought with a spirit-summoning banner forged from her soul...

Readers called her the most spineless cannon fodder in the cultivation world,

enduring one humiliation after another!

Reborn into a new life, Tu Sanliang tears up the domineering male lead's script.

The supreme cultivation arts are hers.

The treasures and ancient ruins are hers.

And the blame? Of course, that belongs to the domineering male lead.

Reading guide:

1. Focus on the heroine's growth

2. Very, very, very slow burn

3. The male lead appears in the latter half

4. Cultivation levels: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, Ascension

Theme: The world is vast. Be free as the wind
