All characters and place names in this book are fictional, except for China and Jiangnan.
All games, magazines, and book titles mentioned are also fictional; you won’t find them in real life. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
As for character art and such… I’ll draw it once my art skills are maxed out, lol.
There won’t be any explicit H-scenes in the main story. If I ever add those, they’ll only be posted in the group later—assuming I even have the time.
Also, none of the spell descriptions in this work are professional-level. Since this is more of a slice‑of‑life story, there’s basically no serious fighting. The focus is on emotions.
Background:
Setting: River City, the No.1 city in China, economically developed and technologically advanced.
Timeline: 2015–2021 (it might still be the “future” when the story actually ends—)
School setting: Jintang Senior High School, founded by the Ouyang Family.
This story branches into multiple routes. Leaving aside the side characters, the main cast includes:
Nangong Qinmu, Yufei Han, Nangong Huixiang, Qingyu Nan Gong, Ouyang Muxia, Tu Shen, Yue Yang, Bai Lan, Jingxuan Shangguan, Murong Ling, and Ling Xu.
Each route has a different word count, with more focus on those who appear more frequently.

One follows Qi Yao. The other follows Sui Hen.

16. Muyue
Qinmu’s previous life. She died in a demon‑clan war that lasted over a thousand years.
Rank: highest level, LV8.
She masters almost all five‑element spells and spells that control space and time.
A fiercely battle‑hungry type. She launched the Wind Demon Clan’s campaigns against other demon clans, seized a lot of territory, and finally died in the last battle.
Her soul fell into the cycle of reincarnation and was reborn as a human.
Weapon: Soulstring Zither.
The foremost of the ancient demonic artifacts.
It can disturb the mind and control thoughts.
Each pluck causes a huge spatial shockwave, and every note is like a lethal blade. Anyone who hears it feels drained and dazed.
If played in a fast, continuous rhythm, it can kill enemies instantly, leaving no trace.
Later, it vanished from the world together with Muyue.
In truth, it was sealed inside Rough Jade, still holding most of Muyue’s power from before she died.
Personality: arrogant, fanatical, cruel, scheming.

She only knows some basic spells and thunder techniques from the five‑element arts.

It’s forged from the bones of a silver python.
Personality: simple, cute, innocent, lively, adorably dumb.
Older brothers: Chun Cheng Sheng, Chun Cheng Yin
People she admires most: her brothers and Qinmu
18. Silver Moon
Race: Wind Demon Clan
Power: LV5 – wind arts and basic spells
Personality: rash, willful, combative, not very bright and often does stupid things.
Sometimes she suddenly does something impressive, but the next second she’s a fool again.
Weapon: Soul Universe Sword.
The Soul Universe Sword is actually a pair, known as the Twin Soul Universe Swords.
But the other one has always been hidden behind Yin Mountain in the underworld, unknown to the world.
In my other book, Silver Moon Princess eventually gets it (though I haven’t started posting that yet), and then she slaughters the so‑called righteous heavenly god Heng—who’s actually evil—and restores peace to River City.
19. Ling Yue
Race: Wind Demon Clan
Power: LV7 – five‑element arts, basic spells, summoning magic, and other spells
Personality: composed, calm, thoughtful, cautious, gentle as water, serene as ice.
In Sage’s eyes, she’s an ice‑cold beauty.
She’s always been Silver Moon’s teacher, big sister, and guardian.
She’s been searching for traces of Muyue and plans to revive the Wind Demon Clan’s glory.
Weapon: …forgot. I’ll go look it up another day.
20. Chun Cheng Sheng
Nicknames:
Xiao Bai (because he loves wearing white) – Silver Moon calls him that.
Big Brother Sheng – Li calls him that.
Sage – what Qinmu and the others call him.
Power: LV6–LV7
Race: divine race – dragon clan
He uses five‑element arts, soul‑calming arts, and other celestial techniques.
Personality: steady, calm. Sometimes cracks small jokes.
His two little sisters give him a constant headache (Silver Moon is a foster sister).
He likes transforming into a woman and telling cold jokes.
His sense of humor only comes out when they’re not talking about serious business.
21. Chun Cheng Yin
Race: divine race – dragon clan
Power: LV8
He was once Muyue’s lover. After she died, he managed to seal the demonic zither inside Rough Jade, used spells to keep her soul from scattering, and sent it into reincarnation.
The general who guarded the Heavenly Gate had a solid foundation in spellcraft and outstanding power. He could fight Muyue to a draw.
It was exactly because they were evenly matched that Muyue started to like him, clinging to him.
He kept searching for news of Muyue’s reincarnation, but never found anything.
Later, he met Nangong Qinmu, but too much time had passed, and in the end it just faded away.
22 Muxue
The spirit of the Soulstring Zither. After the zither was used by the intruding Demon Lord Amber as a place to rest and recover after a great battle, Muxue sealed her own soul, hid from Amber’s eyes, and stayed confined within the zither for as long as 122 years. Only after Amber was destroyed by Muyue did she regain control over the zither.
She was deeply grateful to Muyue. After Muyue’s death, she once guided Chun Cheng Yin, and then willingly sealed the zither into the Rough Jade. She followed Muyue through her reincarnations, guarding her through every lifetime.
She once tried to persuade Chun Cheng Yin not to give up his position in the God Realm to enter reincarnation with Muyue, but he didn’t listen to her.
She treats Qinmu very well and gives hints about HuiXiang’s background. [HuiXiang Arc]
23 Qinmu’s Mother – Hanlin Pu
She divorced Qinmu’s father when she was young and raised the three sisters alone. She works as an executive director in a large multinational company and was later transferred to the Los Angeles headquarters in the United States.
She dotes on her youngest daughter, HuiXiang, while being strict with Qinmu. Later, when Qinmu also became a daughter, the Nangong Family turned into a “three sisters” setup.
After Qingyu graduated with excellent grades from Qingyu High, she reluctantly reached an agreement with Qinmu’s father and sent Qingyu to study at the Australian National University.
She worries a lot about the struggle for the Nangong Family’s succession.
24 Qinmu’s Father – Ruiheng Nangong
After divorcing Qinmu’s mother, he married another woman and had a daughter with her, but that woman unfortunately died of a terminal illness. The daughter she left behind, Xinyan Nangong, grew timid and overly cautious because of his neglect and drinking.
Later, when Qingyu went to Australia and really couldn’t stand it anymore, she once took Xinyan to live for a while in the apartment she rented near the university.
Half a year after Qingyu returned to China, she personally brought Xinyan back to live with the Nangong Family.
He’s irresponsible, bad-tempered, and hypocritical.
He serves as the general manager of the Nangong Family’s Australian branch, but the business never really improves. It’s basically a scheme his eldest brother used to get him out of the way.
25 Xinyan Nangong – 13 years old, female
The half-sister of the Nangong Family’s three sisters, same father, different mother. Personality: timid, introverted, not talkative, very obedient.
She once became HuiXiang’s little tagalong for a while and studies at Yiyang Middle School.
She’s Qinmu’s second favorite younger sister.
