The Dragon Heroes and the Princess I. The Death of the Emperor
For some reason, it always rained when Lan Qi cried. Amidst the darkness and cold air that blew throughout the wide palace hall, she could hear nothing but the crackling of the wooden pillars which were torn apart by the robbers' axes. Lan Qi had heard of those robbers. Even though she was only fifteen years old, living in the palace, and being the Princess of an Emperor, Lan Qi did not miss out on something dangerous to the people of the palace. One of them was the robber. They had all crashed Lan Qi's fifteenth birthday party, right on the eve of the turn of winter. The peach blossoms that fell, flew freely in the air. Flooded with rain and cold air that began to ambush the night. The vernacular-style windows and doors were open. Let the wind from outside into the hall. Tables were overturned, the edges cracked or a sword stuck in them. Dead people lay strewn in front of Lan Qi. While the little girl hid behind the big chair belonging to the Emperor—her father, she covered her mo
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess The Mysterious Blue Bowman
It felt like something was dripping on her eyelids. Caused Lan Qi to slowly open her eyes and she blinked briefly to regain consciousness. She was no longer in that burning hall. But in the middle of a forest filled with tall trees and dense leaves. Beneath her, Lan Qi felt a wet piece of cloth encircle her body with rain-stained soil. While Lan Qi looked around, the night was slightly brightened by the moon which seemed to be unobstructed by the thick rain-causing clouds. She found the blue bowman crouching in front of her, his back to Lan Qi. Not far away, all Lan Qi could see were trees and darkness. Lan Qi coughed and then cleared her throat subconsciously. Her throat was sore, the residual smoke from the fire had probably affected her a little. Then the blue bowman turned to look at her. For a few seconds, they stared. But the man said nothing. He looks like he's sharpening something. As soon as Lan Qi got up and walked over to him, he was chopping a branch of woo
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Blue Dagger
That afternoon the forest on the hill was still too cold. Actually, yesterday's rain was enough of a sign that winter was coming. Before the tree branches were wet and filled with snow, a teenage girl enthusiastically collected tree trunks around the forest. Birds chirping to each other accompany the girl's busy life. She wore simple overalls of the only nicest clothes she had. With a thick robe given by one of her grandfather's friends, she walked through the forest while singing softly.The forest ground was slightly slippery with piles of fallen autumn leaves from last night's rain. The girl was already quite careful. She bent down, picking up thick, dry branches covered with mountains of dry, wet leaves. The wood is a little weathered, she needs time to dry it later. But when she turned around to take another step forward, between two large trees, accidentally, she seemed to step on something.Something that feels soft and hard at the same time. Cautiously, the girl turned her he
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Recovery
A day after Lan Qi regained consciousness from her fever and sore throat, she barely touched food and was able to swallow the small dumplings made by the girl who had taken care of her for the past two days. “Miss Jing, your dumplings taste delicious.”Jing Hua who was busy in front of the big stove with the fire she was constantly fanning to make it bigger turned her head and smiled. To Lan Qi, Jing Hua still looked young enough to be able to live alone. Even though Lan Qi had only slept and taken medicine since yesterday without swallowing any food—Jing Hua still boiled her soft raw vegetables and congee so Lan Qi could eat. On that one day, Lan Qi felt that Miss Jing's help was truly sincere. “You can eat as much as you want. I'm going to make another basket of dumplings today. Early tomorrow morning, I have to go down the mountain to go to the market.”Ever since Lan Qi realized that she was no longer in the palace, she slowly began to accept that the tragedy of two days ago was
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Jing Hua’s Hut
“I don't really remember…” Lan Qi clutched her dumplings tightly. Her throat suddenly turned hoarse as the flames that burned the curtains in the palace hall came to life in her image again. As the muggers raised their small bodies, shouting that they would kill her, all of them suppressed Lan Qi's lips that were ready to explain. Miss Jing's gaze turned gentle. "I don't think he's a dangerous person." Lan Qi again unwrapped the ice knife. The question is, why did the blue bowman leave this knife with her and didn't even take it with him? Lan Qi's only wish was to thank the man for saving her life twice. She doesn't know where he is now, without this knife too—can this man survive the robbers' pursuit? Lan Qi took a deep breath. “He saved me from the robbers. That night, on my birthday… they robbed our residence and destroyed part of the house. I could have died if he didn't come…” Lan Qi's voice turned to a whisper as she recalled the chaos to a halt in her heart.
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Recognized
Early in the morning, Lan Qi's body was gently shaken by Miss Jing who had gotten up from where she was. The air outside was still chilly to the point where Lan Qi found it hard to open her eyes. If in the palace, all the maids would have prepared toiletries, escorted her to the bathroom, prepared perfume, combed her hair, chose a dress for her, and put on beautiful earrings. But waking up twice in an unfamiliar place made Lan Qi realize that now, she was doing everything herself.“Sorry, Lan Qi, are you still sleepy? It's fine if you want to catch up with me later."Lan Qi pushed aside the covers as she shook her head and rubbed her eyes. “No problem, Miss Jing. I'm awake now."Miss Jing smiled. It turned out that she had already prepared a bamboo basket box where the dumplings were. Lan Qi got up from the bed, then searched around for consciousness. How many days has she not showered? Geez, she didn't even remember because she was too depressed from yesterday's incident.“Miss Jin
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Imperial Report
Lan Qi froze for a while before Miss Jing also stopped what she was doing. The boy who called Xiao Zhun put his hands on his hips as he stared at Lan Qi, waiting for her. “I—” Instead of being suspicious, the young man stepped closer and lowered his face so that he was level with Lan Qi. "I thought you were prettier than in the paintings at the Academy." Miss Jing immediately ran out from the kitchen table and came over to the two of them. She patted Xiao Zhun's shoulder who stood up straight again. “What did you say just now? Don't be rude! She—” Xiao Zhun crossed his arms with a smile. “I'm not saying nonsense. She is definitely Princess Li Ming.” It was Lan Qi's turn to open her mouth. "I'm not Princess Li Ming!" she exclaimed. “Xiao Zhun, you stopped by my stall just to pick up one steamed bun. Don't irritate my new friend." "New friend?" Xiao Zhun had narrow eyes that were sharp like an eagle's. His lips were tucked into a thin smile. “I'm sorry Your Highn
The Dragon Heroes and the Princess Return of the Queen
She thought she was being followed by Xiao Zhun, but the boy was not around. Is she walking too fast? Before Lan Qi was about to turn around to turn back— suddenly from behind her an arrow shot out and stuck in front of her feet. Lan Qi was aghast. She looked up, looked right, and left. Spread the gaze to the sky. To the top of the tree. From the right. Lan Qi turned around, just in time to find an imperial guard—obviously an imperial guard, in golden robes and black armor. A face helmet made of golden copper with a bow in his hand. Lan Qi widened her eyes before another attack landed. "Princess Li Ming, run!" Xiao Zhun shot quickly from behind her and just in time, he brushed aside the bow that was about to sink into Lan Qi's back. With his dual swords, Xiao Zhun held the two twin daggers like a protective shield. “You—” “This is not the time to be in denial. They are palace people, you have to get out of here.” For a moment, Lan Qi seemed to have lost her mind. A

It must have been since the day the palace officials came to ask about the betrothal with Bai Naxing, everyone had shut their mouths and eyes. She didn't know how dirty it was, but the evidence that twelve-year-old Bai Naxing had been sold to a brothel couldn't just disappear.Unfortunately, recently, if there were people who spoke ill of the future emperor or empress, they would be immediately executed.

Black Lotus
“Lianhua,” Yao Yupan called when the girl was staring at the black painting in her room. Bai Lianhua got up from the chair and turned to the doorway where her mother was standing."There's someone who wants to meet you."It must be Detective Han Wu, Bai Lianhua muttered. She didn't say anything and walked past her mother. But just as she was about to take a step, Yao Yupan grabbed her hand.With a worried look, the woman whispered softly, “You're not involved in any trouble, are you? That person seems to be from the palace.”Bai Lianhua's eyes swept across the terrace at the front of the residence. The figure of a large man with broad shoulders and slightly white hair standing back."Take it easy, Mother. I'm not causing any trouble.""You know that person?""Yes. I was the one who invited him here.”"What for?" Yao Yupan grew even more worried. “I know you've been angry with your half-sister, but… you have to listen to what your teacher says. Don't live with grudges."Bai Lianhua was

The Never Ending Feelings
The sound of a burning fire broke the silence of the night. Guo Fen suddenly didn't realize he had been crying. While beside him Rong Mei was silent as if she could feel again the sadness her teacher had felt. In front of him, Bai Lianhua's nearly half-a-century-old face did not change. Guo Fen felt that this woman was almost like the granny lotus in Guo Fen's imagination all along.It's the saddest thing to hear granny lotus doesn't get a happy ending.“Then now, where is granny lotus? Are you looking for her in that palace? Bai Naxing is so ruthless! Besides her daring to kill her own mother—although I'm actually a little happy about that part—she really is a cruel woman! What your father said was right, Bai Naxing has a terrible devil's heart,” exclaimed Guo Fen who suddenly understood the emotion that was evident in every story of Bai Lianhua.As a child who had just escaped from a band of bandits, it turned out that his life was not as bad as Bai Lianhua's.

Revenge
As soon as Bai Lianhua came back from the lotus swamp hut, she rushed home hoping to think of a plan to face Bai Naxing. Even though her half-sister was almost as tall as the sky—as she was about to become the future empress, Bai Lianhua didn't care. She must find granny lotus and free her. But before Bai Lianhua's mind cleared of all the tightness in her chest, from the door of her residence, a woman—her neighbor, cried out in panic with wide eyes.“Lianhua! Lianhua! Quickly help your mother! She—she—” With the nervousness that was shouted out like that, it was clear Bai Lianhua's heart was getting restless. She saw that there were several people standing in front of the door of the house. Bai Lianhua pressed in. Her thoughts became increasingly chaotic when she walked to the edge of the room where her father was. As she ran, from the hallway came a woman's voice crying. She knew that voice very well.Suddenly, her heart pounded and her hands clenched into fists. When she reached the

Warrior Organization
That night, after accompanying Bai Junhui to paint for a while in the garden of the village in front of the lake, people passing by were no longer interested in seeing Bai Junhui's work. Whereas in the past, Bai Junhui's ideals were so honorable that he was like a noble who had extraordinary talent. Moreover, now people prefer to forget about Bai Junhui and don't want to get involved in anything. Actually, things weren't that bad, at least Bai Lianhua could focus on monitoring her father.After dinner, Yao Yupan cleaned up the dining area and Bai Junhui helped her for a bit. Although the man's movement was still a little weak, he was able to move more nimbly. Although it is not known whether the effect of the egg of the turtle goddess can completely erase the wound inside Bai Junhui, Bai Lianhua can only hope. Bai Lianhua went to the lotus marsh and gave her the box her father had just given her. She had promised that today she would have to practice some moves under the moonlight.

The Day After
The turtle goddess egg given by Granny Lotus turned out to be very effective. Within a few hours after Bai Junhui consumed it, he was able to sit up and look back at his painting. When Bai Lianhua brought food to the room, she saw her father packing up the painting tools into the basket that he used to bring when he wanted to paint outdoors."Father, where are you going?"Bai Junhui turned his head, he smiled happily. Although his face is still a little pale, he already looks healthier and fitter."I want to go to the park. You want to come?"Bai Lianhua naturally wanted to come along. She and Bai Junhui together went to the park where he had painted Gao Renwei for the first time. Bai Lianhua didn't know this garden had once witnessed Bai Junhui fall to his knees at Gao Renwei's beauty.Painstakingly, Bai Junhui placed a wooden canvas stand in front of the calm waters of the lake while the sunlight gently bathed the vast meadow. From behind him, Bai Lianhua saw her father's weak and s

After that incident, Bai Junhui was busy painting all the time. Even Yao Yupan, who was worried because her ex-husband never ate together again, wondered what was going on. At first Bai Lianhua didn't want to tell, but because it seemed that this matter couldn't be covered up for long either, Bai Lianhua explained everything.“Then… is your father going there?” asked Yao Yupan a little worriedly.Bai Lianhua shook her head hard. “No,” with a heart already burning with hatred because of her half-sister's behavior, let alone coming, just to see her, Bai Lianhua would never allow her father to have any further contact with that demon.“No wonder a few days ago, there was news that King Li Ming Lao would be carrying out a marriage. The celebration was so exciting. At the Civil Palace, several lanterns and decorations have been installed to celebrate the day. Because on the same wedding day, King Li Ming Lao will ascend the throne to become Emperor. But… in that case, it's good for Bai

Sudden Revenge
"Surprised, huh?" she replied softly. On her lips, tugged a sly smile. The scene three years ago—when the girl was still wearing a pink hanfu, walking out of the Wine Shop and the Spring Maiden in Li Ming City's palace market had almost disappeared. Her stature was completely different and it made Bai Lianhua freeze. Inside the house, her father stood with a gloomy face. It was as if he had heard something that Bai Lianhua had missed."What are you doing here?" asked Bai Lianhua straightly.Without answering, Bai Naxing raised a hand, and a maid who had been crouching beside her held out a scroll. Bai Lianhua accepted that and unrolled.It was clearly a wedding invitation. But what took Bai Lianhua by surprise was that the wedding invitation was made very formal and had an imperial seal. Bai Lianhua's eyes almost popped out, she gripped the scroll tightly and then looked at Bai Naxing in front of her. The girl smiled sweetly."You will definitely come, won't you?" she said withou

Surprise
Three years after Bai Lianhua brought Bai Junhui back to Shanyi Village, last night was the point where Bai Lianhua could feel her father was truly back here. Even though his soul was occasionally left in the Li Ming city palace, sometimes he still muttered while painting things that smelled of Gao Renwei, but Bai Lianhua has started to understand little by little how her father let go of his stupidity and a broken heart. Every now and then Bai Lianhua would ask granny lotus about a love affair and why humans would succumb to such things, but then granny lotus would just laugh and say, “You're the only one who seems too smart to be fooled by something called love. You're very ambitious, but you're also naive at times. Feeling disappointed because your father left you first build a stronghold high on your own expectations. Makes you more focused on protecting and protecting people from feelings they might be experiencing as you are experiencing too. It's a virtue that can lead astray, L
