CompletedSynopsis: (This is purely a romance set against a Jianghu background, not Wuxia) (The early stage features a femme fatale "evil woman" taming a "saintly" man; the later stage is a saga of deep love and hatred between arch-rivals, a story of a man redeeming a woman.)
Everyone knows that Gu Zhi, the unpredictable, cruel, and reclusive Sect Leader of Wuliang Mountain—a man whose name strikes fear into all in the Jianghu—harbors three lifelong regrets.
First, he regrets his youthful gullibility, bringing a spy back to his mountain sect.
Second, he regrets his youthful naivete, falling easily in love with that spy.
Third, he regrets his blindness and stubbornness, insisting on becoming engaged to that spy.
A moment of carelessness led to a sword piercing his heart on their engagement night. The sect's guardian jade token was stolen, the Tianshan Sect fell into decline, his father, brothers, masters, and disciples were scattered, leaving him like a frightened stray dog.
It is said that Gu Zhi utterly despised that spy from back then. After cornering her to the point where she fell off a cliff, he spent three years setting up a vast network, searching high and low, turning the world upside down, swearing to dig three feet deep and find her, dead or alive, to ensure her body was torn to shreds and her bones scattered to the winds.
When Nan Qiongshuang heard this again, she merely smiled.
He truly had every right to hate her to her core.
Nan Qiongshuang was born with a face as beautiful as Chang'e's, with a crystalline complexion as pure as ice and snow. As a child, she was sent into the "Rebirth Gate" to be trained as a spy.
For fourteen years, she manipulated hearts and beguiled souls, accruing countless blood debts, yet she never felt she owed anything to any of them.
Her engagement to the young sect leader of the Tianshan Sect—a man as radiant as the sun atop the clouds—was merely an indispensable step in her mission.
That peerless prodigy, noble and pure, upright and gentle, would heed any opinion within his sect.
Yet, for her sake, he constantly clashed with the entire sect.
For her, he endured solitary confinement, meditated beneath waterfalls, knelt for long hours in the ancestral hall, and faced a joint sectarian trial. At a moment of life and death, he pushed her to safety, choosing to face Yama alone.
Nan Qiongshuang remained unmoved.
She knew he loved her.
Of course, countless people admired her.
Thus, on their engagement night, she adjusted her collar, gently pushed away the young man who was lowering his gaze to kiss her, and drew a sword from her sleeve, plunging it directly into his left chest.
Evil deeds come with a price, especially assassinating such an upright gentleman.
So, that day, before he could draw his last breath, she herself slipped, falling straight into a bottomless abyss before his eyes, which were filled with sorrow, hatred, and devastation.
She never imagined they would meet again.
#The "High-Mountain Flower" was assassinated by his wife, then watched her die before his eyes#
Beautiful as Chang'e but ruthless "Evil Woman" VS Noble and pure, devoted "Saintly Man" (earlier) / Self-loathing, world-weary, crazy "Imperial Advisor" (later)
Note:
1. Before the female lead falls in love, she almost emotionally manipulates the male lead and male second lead. She is not loyal to any man before developing feelings. As a heart-conquering assassin, seducing the male lead is her job, and seducing the male second lead is a side gig. Later, the saintly male lead redeems the evil woman. It's an angsty romance but ends happily (HE), 1v1, a redemption story where the man saves the woman.
2. The early stage features a "femme fatale" evil woman taming a saintly man, primarily with love triangles and drama. The later stage is a saga of deep love and hatred between arch-rivals. The emotional conflicts in the later stage are relatively intense, not a gentle, warm, flowing story; the emotional plot is grand and sweeping.
3. The early "Jianghu Arc" is purely a romance with a martial arts background, not a Wuxia story. There are no martial arts training or power-leveling elements; it's a romance set in a Jianghu background!
4. The Jianghu Arc is primarily a pure romance, while the "Palace Arc" is a 50/50 split between romance and plot. The Jianghu Arc and Palace Arc have completely different flavors and are almost like two separate stories. The Palace Arc is not grounded in realistic political intrigue; it's a hodgepodge of official systems from various dynasties, so historical accuracy sticklers should beware.
CompletedSynopsis: Voluptuous Naive Beauty x Aloof Feudal Patriarch
Jing Yao was naturally born charming and voluptuous. Upon reaching adulthood, her stepmother, to secure a future for her younger brother, turned around and sent her to be a concubine to the brother-in-law of her 'white moonlight' cousin.
She was honest and timid by nature. After entering the household, her voluptuous figure made her uniquely favored, but this unexpectedly drew the jealousy of the main wife. Torment and oppression became common. What troubled her most was that the mistress often complained and reported her to her cousin.
Her cousin, He Anting, was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, known for his upright and just character, pure as jade. He always disdained women who swayed their slender waists and cast flirtatious glances, women who appeared to stir up trouble in the household.
Coincidentally, Jing Yao possessed exactly such a face.
He Anting utterly loathed her. Using the excuse of reprimanding his brother-in-law, he warned her: "Seducing the master to favor a concubine over his wife is an act that ruins a family's reputation. You had best know your place and behave yourself."
Under the disdainful gazes of everyone, she felt utterly mortified and shed tears of injustice. Could she be blamed for simply being born this way?
From then on, she wished she could stay far away from her cousin, to avoid further dislike.
Until one day, she was taken by the Shizi to a spring hunt. Unluckily, she entered the wrong room and, by chance, encountered her cousin who had been drugged. His hot breath suddenly sprayed against her ear...
After a night of madness, fortunately, He Anting didn't know who she was. Knowing his aversion towards her, she discreetly left, hiding far away, pretending that nothing had happened that night.
Yet, He Anting was determined to scour the earth to find the woman from that night.
...
On the day of the family banquet, Lingyun Earl's Estate was filled with joy, for Jing Yao was pregnant.
However, her smile was forced, and she nervously clutched her belly, looking pale and guilty.
Her cousin, who had always treated her with cold disdain, now gazed at her intently, even carefully adding a soft cushion for her.
As night fell, whispers and sounds of struggle emanated from the rockery in the Earl's estate.
He Anting's tall figure exuded an oppressive aura. Jing Yao, looking around in a panic, wary of his approach, exclaimed: "Don't talk nonsense! This child has nothing to do with you!"
He Anting, however, pressed closer step by step. He, who was usually the epitome of restraint, now spoke ambiguously and presumptuously: "It doesn't matter if there's no relation. I'd certainly be a better father than the Shizi. Yao Yao, why don't you consider me?"
