The Moonlit Strategist Falls Step by Step

General Shen Hanyuan and his military strategist Wen Jinyan were known throughout the court and the land as inseparable confidants — one a master of the pen, the other of the sword, who had stood shoulder to shoulder through countless life-and-death battles. On the battlefield, Wen Jinyan devised strategies with a composure that bordered on cold ruthlessness, yet before Shen Hanyuan, he was a "nemesis" who could be sent hopping with fury over the poke of a battered fan. The whole city spoke only of their towering achievements and profound friendship, but no one ever noticed the burning, terrifying affection Wen Jinyan had buried deep within his heart. On the eve of their departure to war, an unintentional tease from Shen Hanyuan tore completely through the defenses Wen Jinyan had spent years building around his heart.
