A young lady whose constitution makes her a universal cure for Gu poison, and her fiercely loyal, scheming bodyguard
[Sweet romance + a touch of mystery + both pure + protecting each other]
Gu Mountain is a place that holds many secrets.
The inner and outer mountains, whether knowingly or unknowingly, jointly guard the secret of the Gu Tomb. Legend says that only descendants of the main branch of the Wu family of the inner mountain can produce, generation after generation, the key to opening the Gu Tomb.
At the inner mountain's selection tournament, the young lady of the Wu family witnessed a fight with a hidden meaning and unexpectedly discovered that someone had leaked the inner mountain's secrets.
At the selection tournament, Wu Wanzhou met Xiao Mingyue for the first time, a cool and formidable young man.
And so, for the first time in her life, the young lady of Gu Mountain decided to meddle in someone else's business.
She rose and called out to the sword-wielding youth at the foot of the mountain:
“Wait, you there, the one who just cut off someone's hand with a single sword strike.”
Xiao Mingyue looked over with those remarkable fox eyes, shook the sweat from his head, and showed no sign of backing down. He held his head high, hugged his blade, and stared straight through the mask.
“Miss Wanzhou, what can I do for you?”
“Xiaoyeshan needs a chief guard, and I need a bodyguard to accompany me when I go out. Would you be willing to come to Xiaoyeshan and protect me?”
He smiled. Among all the fools at the foot of the mountain, he stood out. Without a moment's hesitation, he replied:
“Sure. You're the first person to openly say you need me. I'll go with you.”
P.S. The heroine is a genius at using Gu, and the hero is loaded and has maxed-out combat skills. They're a formidable team, both smart and capable, solving problems across Gu Mountain as they go. But most of all, it's sweet. Super sweet.
