The Stars Rise, the Past Fades

Yun Qianyu opened her eyes to find that she had become a child, and not just any child, but Cheng'an's most beloved Seventh Princess. Believing that since she was here, she might as well make the best of it, she quickly settled in.

She had planned to live a carefree life, but who could have known that her arrival would unsettle her heart?

She had never seen a woman like this before. One glance, and Yun Qianyu had fallen for her.

The first time Fu Sheng entered the palace, she saw an extraordinary young woman. With just one backward glance, the woman had entered her heart before she could guard against it.

A few days later, that young woman miraculously appeared at the military camp and became her disciple.

Perhaps fate worked in mysterious ways. A year later, at the Qixi Temple Fair, the two “bumped into each other” amid the bustling crowds and pledged their lives to each other beneath a sky full of stars.

Fu Sheng knelt on one knee and swore to her, “I make this promise today: Yun Ping will never let you down.”

Their happy days did not last long. Upheaval struck Cheng'an. In the blink of an eye, she was left homeless, her country fallen and her family destroyed.

“Yun Ping, I dragged you down with me.”

Fu Sheng shook her head. “Wan Yan, I will always stay by your side.”

I will help you rise to the clouds again.

Bearing the hopes of a whole group of people, Yun Qianyu set out on a path of no return.

But the price of rising to the clouds again was too high for Yun Qianyu to bear alone. She fought with all her might, unwilling to betray the trust of those who believed in her. Yet all her efforts brought her one cold corpse after another.

Ten years.

Yun Qianyu shed her innocence, left with a body covered in scars and a heart so battered it was riddled with wounds.

“I don't remember. I only know that in the year I came of age, I caught a glimpse of the rest of my life.”

Three Lifetimes Bound to My Nemesis (full manuscript in progress)

Ye Chenqing had a nemesis.

He first met him at the Hundred Flowers Banquet thirteen years ago. The boy was domineering, unreasonable, and utterly unruly, yet Ye Chenqing remembered him for thirteen years.

Thirteen years later, Ye Chenqing received an imperial order to go to Quancheng and bring him home, but he refused to return.

Unable to let him go, Ye Chenqing used every means at his disposal to bring him back to the capital.

Only after returning to the capital did Ye Chenqing learn that he and the other man were not destined to be together in this life. Unwilling to accept it, he decided to fight fate.

In the end, Ye Chenqing lost, utterly and completely.

He lost half a lifetime of the Ye family's schemes, and he lost Yuchi Nanyang.

Yuchi Nanyang was forcibly brought back to the capital. He hated this irritating man, yet somehow found him familiar.

As they spent day after day together, he found himself falling for him.

But Ye Chenqing shattered this beautiful dream, and finally took his own life in a cold, dark room.

Yuchi Nanyang stared at the bloodied object in his hand and murmured, “Did you use the thing I gave you to kill yourself just to torment me?”

“Then you got your wish.”

Whenever Jiu Fang Huanling was plagued by nightmares, he could always see someone standing with their back to him.

That figure was unmistakably familiar, yet he could never remember who it was.

Then one day, he encountered a great demon. The demon was supposed to kill him, but instead saved him.

Amid his confusion, the person in his dream merged with the one before his eyes. Jiu Fang Huanling's heart trembled, and he lowered his sword.

In Chi Ning's memories, he had someone he loved, but he had never known what that person looked like.

One day, he casually rescued someone, and the person he loved in his memories finally took on a face.

Chi Ning pursued him with all his heart, only to receive a sword pointed at him in return.

“There's a question that's troubled me for three lifetimes. Can you answer it?”

“This karmic debt was already incurred the first time we met.”

But Jiu Fang Huanling did not know which of their meetings had been the first.
