Eastern Depot: Rain and Smoke, Years of Peace

The Ming Dynasty's Eastern Depot gained a silent young agent. Colleagues bullied Su Yu, but he subtly used others to harm them; when a superior tried to transfer her to a death post, he worked overnight to find loopholes and cancel the order; when someone framed her for treason, he sneaked in at night to kill the clerk and burn the false evidence. In the cold winter, he exchanged his last warm charcoal for her duty room; during a siege, he used his back to block a blade for her, blood soaking his thin coat. Su Yu always thought she was just lucky. Until an assassination in the West Market, he, covered in blood, still excused her before fainting: "It was me who tripped." She stayed by him all night, looking at his pale face, and for the first time realized that all "coincidences" bore the same name. She was the only light in the gray world of the Eastern Depot. He, wielding power and making decisive kills, carved a bloody path through this chaotic world, only wanting to protect one person from start to finish. He wasn't born a powerful minister; he just happened to have someone he wanted to protect with his life. A time-travel, a lifetime of misty rain. From four years of unspoken love on campus to life-saving protection in the Eastern Depot's blade light. This is a story of crossing time, hidden deep love, and fighting side by side. Dual time-travel, Eastern Depot power struggles, ultimate secret love and protection. A million-word novel, from low-level agent to power over the court, meeting in troubled times, years of peace.
