The Witch Nishang (GL) 魔女霓裳（gl）
. What is fate? . Destiny? The will of heaven? Something irreversible? . I don't know. . I only know I can't bear to see a beautiful woman grow old, or to see love end in tragedy at the point of a sword. . My favorite peerless beauty, and my most hated love story. No great author seemed interested in writing it, so I had to do it myself to ease my frustration. . Updates may be irregular. The writing is rough, rambling, and slow-paced.

Fine Rain Carves Stone 细雨琢石
