The Iron Fan's Tender Blade Song

A new work is here! Welcome to read my story on Tomato Novel. I hope you enjoy it. In the late spring, Qingyun Mountain is lush with spiritual beauty, its sharp edge hidden beneath a serene appearance. The Qingyun Manor has upheld the art of the fan for generations, honoring the ancestral motto, "The fan conceals tenderness; the sword upholds justice." Living in seclusion deep in the mountains, the manor has stayed out of worldly affairs. Its master, Xu Xiaotian, is renowned throughout the martial world for his Qingyun Fan. His children, Qingfeng and Qingyue, bring warmth and joy to his life, and peace reigns throughout the manor. However, the martial world is treacherous. Wen Zihan, the ambitious master of Willow Leaf Manor, is expanding his power everywhere, coveting a legendary treasure from the previous dynasty. Though hidden in the mountains, Qingyun Manor can hardly escape the turmoil. Ten-year-old Xu Qingfeng devotes himself to training with the fan, determined to protect his family and the manor. Frail Xu Qingyue is full of passion and longs to stand alongside her brother. Beneath the warm and peaceful facade, undercurrents have already begun to stir. A willow-leaf bronze token hidden in the wet nurse's sleeve, the steward's secretive oddities, and the suspicious movements of a merchant staying at the manor all point to an impending catastrophe. When the shadows of the fan rise once more, tenderness collides with conspiracy, and protection becomes entangled with betrayal. Can the century-old foundations of Qingyun Manor withstand the storm?
