Jade Split

Wenyan kept her broken jade half hidden in a sleeve while she played sword heroines on stage, because one mistake could expose her and cost her place in the troupe. She trained in secret before dawn, where her art was strongest. Then Shen Ruying stepped into her small world with a sealed book, a quiet hand, and a family that could crush anyone they disliked. Wenyan wanted the person who held the other half of the pendant, but she kept finding Ruying instead. The more she learned, the harder it became to tell whether she was chasing proof, safety, or love, and the answer waited inside a family room no one had opened in years.
