May I Spend a Hundred Years with the Fragrance of Plum Blossoms

Duan Xiao took command of the Duan family army at fourteen. By sixteen, he was already a renowned young general, like a blade drawn from its sheath, sharp and brilliant.

To the world, the campaign ten years ago made Duan Xiao famous overnight, his name known across the land. But to him, it was a regret he could never make right in all his life, a guilt he could never erase.

Wanyan was an orphan of war with no known origin and nowhere to go.

A mystery case ten years later revealed the cruel truth behind that campaign. What they thought was a destined bond turned out to be a tangled, ill-fated connection.

He robbed the execution ground for her, his wolf-fang battle halberd breaking the nine coiling-dragon pillars.

As chaos swept through the world and the times changed, vassal kings fought and the land fell into turmoil. Their small affection was too fragile to withstand the sea of blood and vengeance.

Should he let her go, or hold her tightly by his side? What should they do...
