Unlike her peers, Zhan Qing Hong never dreamed of wealth or marriage; her heart was set on a far greater ambition-to become a martial arts master. With unwavering determination, she steps into the martial world, only to uncover a grim truth: the honor-bound realm she had idolized is riddled with corruption and betrayal. Refusing to accept the status quo, Qing Hong vows to rebuild the world of martial arts from within, relying on her intelligence and tenacity to challenge its treacherous foundations. Yet, the path is perilous, and she soon realizes she cannot walk it alone. The last person she expects to stand beside her is Lin Fang, the notorious playboy of Junan City. Known for his charm and sickly aristocratic façade, Lin Fang hides his true motives behind carefully crafted deception-his life is driven by revenge for his fallen clan. But fate has other plans. Drawn to Qing Hong's fearless spirit, Lin Fang finds himself entangled in her mission. As their paths intertwine, hardened resolve gives way to unexpected companionship, and together, they embark on an arduous journey to uproot a broken system and reshape the martial arts world from the ground up. Adapted from the web novel "The Moon Brightens For You" by Ding Mo.
