Synopsis

Yesterday has passed; I look back on the past. A wolf’s ambition brings death to others; those who wag their tails and beg for mercy never meet a good end. Today is not yet over; I look toward tomorrow. Awakening at last, she plots her way forward, and laughs through a hundred years of wealth and glory. In an age of high hats and flowing robes, there are the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, singing freely, and noble families bound by strict taboos. How can she struggle up from the dust and fight back? How can she win the world’s recognition when her fortunes are waning? With sword in hand on the battlefield, or fingers on the strings of a zither, where does her home lie? My new novel, The Mayfly Inn, is being updated regularly. New and returning guests are welcome. Will you be stopping for a meal or staying the night?

I'm not a genius myself, so I can't follow overly profound stories. But I don't have many requirements when it comes to the setting. I'll keep recommending and reading as I go. I hope other picky readers wil

Wei-Jin Elegance

I’ve been reading on Qidian and JJ for years, and my tastes have gradually changed. I often feel like I’ve run out of good books. I’ve become a bit of a hoarder, collecting so many books that I can’t keep up with them, yet I still go looking for more. I have just one rule: I never care about an author’s reputation, only whether a book suits my taste. If the values are warped, I drop it. I also keep track of authors who abandon their stories. I’m so tired of falling for them! I like stories set i
