Ruling the Mountains and Rivers

A zither sings over flowing waters, while bamboo groves bask in the moonlight. Enchanting melodies drift on the wind, mingling with the mournful notes of horns and the beat of war drums. It is an age of elegance and wild abandon, and a chaotic world of upheaval. Everyone says that the seventh young master of the Xie family is blessed with otherworldly grace, a beauty like a jade mountain about to topple, and commands half of the Great Jin dynasty’s glamour. Xiao Qingyan has long harbored improper feelings for him, but can only keep him as the moonlight in her heart, cherished in secret. Because she must play the part of the ninth young master of the Yunling Xiao clan. In this world of power ruled by men, if she wants to do as she pleases, she must first focus on building her career! The land is shattered, order has collapsed, and the Central Plains are choked with bones, yet the powerful clans and warlords continue to plot and fight. If she doesn’t want to be treated as a pawn, she needs soldiers at her command and power in her hands. Warhorses thunder through the smoke of battle, and political schemes shake the imperial court. Everyone calls her a treacherous rebel with the heart of a wolf. Only he, eyes bright and smile tender, strokes her hair and says, “My dear, I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
