Synopsis
In the realm of Chiji, a mythical world where hidden powers lie. Chaos rules because a few became drunk with power and abused it. And inflicted a terrible balance upon the plains and brought chaos to Chiji. From this, opposition rises and plots. And so, the people forget the good deeds of a few power wielders.
Somehow, in a magic-imbued past, where the longing whispers of Xinyi to Ming resonate, the whims of fate which will bring change can be heard.
What did the whispers say?
Governor Ming hates this arranged marriage to Xinyi and doesn't want to do anything with her.
Will love bloom in time for the loveless couple as they work together?
Only with curiosity may one find the answers...
However, out from these devastating times, a Sorceress will bloom and slowly bring balance to this world.
(Note: This is mainly a fantasy genre and not romance, although it started with the love story between the female and male leads. So, please don't focus on romance here. This is the journey of a woman who became the Sorceress.)

They were married through the imperial edict, and she expected much from it. However, on their wedding nightโฆ
"In fairness, I'll be honest with you. I don't like you. I prefer to marry someone I choose. From this day forth, you're to live in Anjing Pavilion" said Lei Ming with no reservations.
She was aggrieved to be disregarded and unfairly discarded.
"Wait!" shouted Xinyi.
Pestered, Lei Ming halted but didn't look back. "What now?"
"I'm grateful for sending me there, Lord husband, but please don't miss sending my allowance and I promise I will not show up and bother you," said Xinyi and bowed piously.
"The heck, this woman is totally shameless."
Xinyi watched Lei Ming's back as he walked away. As he was out of earshot, she gave a careless smile and rested her palms on her waist.
"This is totally unexpected. What a farce of a marriage. So what? I don't care too..." she said as she suddenly jumped and swirled around in glee.
Butโฆ an unexpected encounter under the moonlight changed everything. Most of all, when he discovered he was meant to protect his wife.

TAKE NOTE:
1.) There is no sex but have some violence during wars and fights. Do know that romance is not the primary focus. Prepare for an adventurous ride in the story.
2.) The story is not totally under the Chinese background. This is a different world, and every nation had their own backgrounds. So, I don't follow the Chinese way of naming and calling of characters. Like using their full names when I mention them, even with the greetings.
2.) Please buy this author a coffee to keep me alert when writing and to help pay for the daughter's college fees: [ko-fi.com/elijoneb]
3.) Please support my latest book: Blue Hells. It's a sci-fi and game combo. If you love action and adventure, this is for you.

Certainly one of the best stories on webnovel. I had read till ch 140 when the updates stopped, but couldn't resist re-reading from the start. Great to see the author back with regular updates and hope to see them coming.
This is my first Chinese background story. This is a heart-warming story and I'll try to mix in comedy as well. So I hope you'll support his book. Enjoy.
Looking forward for more. Only first chapter but already interesting enough anticipate for the next event. Added to library and will support till the end. Ganbatte author sama!
I love to read fantasy and historical stories and this book is one of the results. I thought of writing this with a Chinese background, but after much thinking and consideration, I decided to make it an open background. A new world, different countries with different languages and several worlds where magic and non-magic inhabitants exist. My main character is a young and learning Sorceress who got entangled with kingdom conspiracies and struggles between human with powers and those with none. Then her predecessor gave her the task to bring back balance to this chaotic mythical world. No harem, no rape, no face slapping, no sex. There might be a few violence but I described them vaguely and in simple terms. I'll try my best to give a good story. If I have mistakes, tell me and I'm open to listen. I wish reviews will help me with the things I missed in the story. So, please, give constructive criticisms. I prefer to write slowly so I can study a chapter well before publishing than writing for fast updates but making my story suffer. I also want to write with lesser or no plotholes. In case, I have one or if the characters gave off a poor show of emotions, just tell me in the comment. I would appreciate it. I think that's all I want to say. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Entertaining characters especially our Sorceress and the Governor. I love the cover with the beautiful Sorceress on it. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

This is one of my favorite story. Ming is an example of a husband that made a mistake. Xinyi is a wife that was hurt from what her husband said. I love the mother-in-law joyful attitude. Even the animals. Thank for the beautiful story.
Such a cute story JoanB. I started reading it today and had to stop at 7th chapter because I was hungry :) Everyone else I know JoanB. She is great with updates! Read this book.
This story is really good. I've read Chinese stories like this but this one has its own charm as well. Enjoyable reads with no vengeance, or harem or rape. Well, this author is really good and never write those kinds of stories. Her stories are always in general mode. Never once she has a rated 18+. I'm her avid fan. Keep it up, author JoanB.
Very nice story can't wait for d next chapter I really love the sorry especially the part where she took out the necklace and started sing in which the birds came down.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
This is one book that I always look forward to read everyday. Keep up the good work my dearest author JoanB. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Stumbled across this (can't remember how now) as I was looking for a free original to read and recommend to my readers. It's been quite some time since I actually manage to find a gem that has (i) good story and (ii) regular updates (too many originals that just gets dropped or there's too long a gap between chapters). This novel has all that you need, and more. Writing Quality: top notch, and any grammatical errors are negligible to me as English isn't my first language. Stability of Updates: from what I see, it's been pretty good and I have faith in the Author's ability to continue. Story Development: There are many twists and turns, but not the confusing type. Rather, the way the Author reveals the secrets, you feel like you're the FL as she is discovering it at the same time as you are. It's not too slow or too fast. The pacing is just nice. Character Design: All are portrayed vividly and you'll definitely fall in love with the MC/FL and pity the ML. The characters are real and relatable, not over the top like being overly perfect. You see them grow, World Background: It's a fantasy world with dragons and such (I'm a sucker for dragons). Very well described and truly beautiful. All the best, Author.
