Pear Snow Shines on the Night

In the martial world, she was Hu Weishuang, the greatest under heaven.

Five years after retiring from the martial world, she was still diligently running her tavern.

The wine Hu Weishuang had to offer came in just three bowls: one for an old friend, one for an enemy, and one for the men and women waiting in line.

But if she was supposed to be in seclusion, why were more and more people showing up?

Could running a tavern really put her career in danger?

#The tavern proprietress is still trying her best to act meek today.

#Five years in seclusion, and she's still a deadly killer.

#For whom do you draw your sword? For whom would you die?

Reader's guide:

1. The heroine is adored by everyone, is the greatest under heaven, and has countless secret identities. She's unbeatable in a one-on-one fight. A lightly ensemble-focused story, not a typical power fantasy, with some tragic endings.

2. Revenge and putting scoundrels in their place. A fiercely devoted, tragic beauty in a one-to-many romance. Men and women alike revolve around the heroine, with no one getting first dibs. They have to fight for her.

The serious blurb:

History is an endless river, silently swallowing the stories cast into it from either bank.

If a nation is a precious little boat, then the contest among heroes can be seen as a journey across the water, from a hundred boats racing to the unification of all under heaven.

The martial world is an unseen underground stream. Whenever a newcomer drinks from it, they inherit the legacy of someone who came before.

The fire glows low beneath the red clay stove, the green-tinged wine weighs heavy in the cup, and snow blankets the land beneath a clear sky.

How many more miles before we meet? The scent of my heart still burns, though the jade lies cold.

Cloaked against the rain, I shine my sword and spur my horse, then unleash a move like a shooting star.

Damn it! Why did the storm have to come first?

The sword moves like a gale, and so does the heart. In the joy of the moment, dawn breaks over the world.

Striding across the land! Which hero of this age? Old debts and grudges no longer hold sway.
