Under the Blue Moonlight
. Ch 40 main came to rescue yang and they have mutual liking to each other. Yangs sister was angry at her own situation and envious that her brother was able to escape the palace to see the world while the government nobility restricts on yangs. She was motivated after seeing main rescuing her brother that she rebells the emperor and changed the laws and things became peaceful Ch 34 ahh, even the noble yangs r discrimated within their fancy cage palaces. If u aren't from a noble family, u r a low born yang and not treated with respect. Only yangs punish other yangs and mains companion yang had snuck out to explore the outside but got kidnapped. He met main and later he was found 3 months later and he's changed Ch 31 ahh the village got attacked by the thieves slave trade bc the princess and sister of yang was looking for him and she was very naive to ask thieves for help when the thieves backstabbed her. The silk village chief smacked her for her decisions leading to deaths and injured ppl Ch 26 flash back when main and bro were younger and were taken in by thieves to work for them to steal. The bandits also kidnapped another kid and the kid was the one whose hair turned back as a yang and he remembered main when he saw her as an adult Ch 18 LOL mains bro knows how to control his partner tiger when tiger is known to be a fierce fighter and protector of his ppl. When bro told tiger of his sister, tiger became more accommodating to main lolol to be in her good graces since main is someone important to his partner mains bro Ch 17 WHAT the kitten main adopted was actually one of the children her brother birthed after so long of not seeing main. He partnered with the tiger clan leader and birthed 5 children. Main didnt know a yin and partner with a tiger. The village head says there r other creatures similar to yin and yang, so a tiger added to the mix isn't new since all those folks r within the category as mystical creatures that aren't human anyways Ch 13 interesting, the village also have yang ppl who care for the yin. Its the low born yin and yangs that r often mistreated whereas if u were born with noble blood then u r seen as valuable. So whenever a yin goes missing, the government wont react unless its one of the nobles. All yins have bluish hair while yangs r born with white hair and as adults it turns black Ch 12 recap, main met ppl in a village close to the northern border of the tiger territory to find her brother. They never heard of a war with the tiger clan and main got worried since her brother basically either lied or was lied to to get him to leave the village to participate in this fake war. The village folk thanked main for saving their children who r also yin like main. They have a secret society to protect yin children from human trafficking who try to kidnap and sell yin ppl to the rich high noble yang who need yin to have children bc without yin, yang cannot have children of their own biology. But this country looks down on yin as only baby factories for the yang. Think omegas vs alphas type of situation

He reported it to the emperor and main expected to be found out and reason she's at the palace that killed her father is to see if the current emperor is fit to rule bc a lot of corruption happened when previous emperor died. Emperor explained the story and he's been acting like a dope to avoid being suspicious in rebelling bc everyone in the palace r on the side of counselor Shin who assassinated the previous emperor and framed Cho Ch 11-12 recap, emperor wanted main to find the missing girl and recommended going to a brothel to ask the ladies who r talented in poetry as the daughter was skilled in poetry.
