I Traveled Back Ten Years with the Embroidered Uniform Guard Who Killed Me

[Noblewoman on the Run x Jinyiwei Mad Dog]

After Lin Wanshu's family is framed, her home is destroyed and her loved ones are killed. She spends months fleeing for her life.

That night, in a ruined temple in the wilderness, she is out of options. She fights to the death against the Jinyiwei commander who has been hunting her.

Both of them are on the brink of death when, in their hazy state, a strange phenomenon appears in the sky.

-

Xie Changyin, Commander of the Jinyiwei, makes a single careless mistake. When he wakes, he finds himself in a strange place.

A wooden house, a farmhouse, a stove at a rolling boil. The person who turns around looks like Lin Wanshu, only ten years younger.

At first, Xie Changyin suspects her, distrusts her, uses her, and deceives her.

But she is innocent and kind, warm and pure, like the cleanest handful of snow in the world. She is the stark opposite of someone like him, who clawed his way out of the gutter.

Little by little, Xie Changyin finds himself falling for her beyond his control.

He thinks that if this really is ten years in the past, and if they really are two people who merely look alike, then perhaps it would not be so bad to live an ordinary life and stay by her side forever.

He is willing to avoid the treacherous abyss he once plunged into, and instead protect her, bringing her a lifetime of peace, happiness, innocence, and carefree joy in a gentler way.

But Heaven plays a huge joke on him: she is Lin Wanshu.

The night rain pours like a tide. They stand divided on either side of the wall. With a Xiuchun Saber and a Feiyu uniform, Xie Changyin's hand trembles ever so slightly around his blade.

P.S. 1. This is a fictional setting, very much so. It does not belong to any historical dynasty, so please don't map it onto real history.

2. The story mostly follows the author's instincts. Planned length is around 200,000 characters. It's a sweet romance with occasional angst. I just love this mix of sweet, angsty, and satisfying.

3. Finishing in June.

Theme: Finding love and oneself
