Walking at Night Bearing Jade
Tags
Summary
Zhou Xiaoshan, quirky and supremely skilled at disguise, was born without the sense of pain—a treasure that is her crime. She has hidden the secret since childhood, roaming the Jianghu only to uncover the truth of her origins, find her birth mother, and avenge her wrongly dead kin.
When the shameless drama-queen Zhou Xiaoshan runs into Yan Tingchao, master of Tianmu Pavilion, who fears hardship and fatigue and only wants to lie flat and count money, the two set off on a hilarious investigation journey of mutual scheming and monkey-playing.
Who would have thought that Yan the Miser, stingy to the bone, would lose all composure and spend fortunes once he falls for the little drama queen?
Who would have thought that behind layer upon layer of fog lies a truth so cruel and so stirring.
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Historical romance readers who like Jianghu settings combined with mystery investigation
- Readers who enjoy bickering lovers and mutual-scheming romance
- Readers looking for a brisk, comedic, relaxing read
- Readers drawn to disguise and origin mysteries
Not a good fit for
- Readers who prefer serious drama and dislike comedic passages
- Dedicated mystery fans demanding rigorous logic
- Readers uncomfortable with leads scheming against each other early on
Reading tips
- Follow the case thread first and jot down Zhou Xiaoshan's origin fragments chapter by chapter; the late reveal reads clearer in retrospect.
- Watch the scheming dialogue—beneath the jokes often lie motives and clues.
- Slow down at the shift in Yan Tingchao's attitude; the miser's loosening grip is the key to the romance.
- If the cases feel tangled midway, clarify Zhou Xiaoshan's investigative goal first, then go back for details.
