On the Way to Break Off My Engagement, I Picked Up a Beautiful Young Gu User

[A poker-faced, aloof, slow-witted yet upright and kindhearted sword prodigy girl x a cunning, sinister, but stunningly beautiful young lord of the Southern Border, the Gu King]

When Qin Jiao, born with a permanently blank expression, went down the mountain to break off her engagement, she unexpectedly rescued Shang Lu, an unparalleled “beauty.”

After taking the pitiful “little beauty” in as her apprentice, Qin Jiao began to notice that something was off about the people around her.

First, there was her innocent, naive little apprentice, whose gaze seemed to grow stranger by the day. Not only could she dig a trap and wait for Qin Jiao to fall into it every time, she also seemed to be hiding some astonishing identity.

Then there was Gao Fuling, who claimed to be a highly intelligent woman from the 21st century, spoke in riddles, and somehow knew the future.

And there was Liang Zhiyu, a human signpost who always managed to point her toward a dead end.

They all seemed able to predict her every move with uncanny accuracy.

Qin Jiao: “How did I end up showing my hand without even realizing it? How am I supposed to play like this!”

Can someone tell her why what should have been a sweet harem romance with handsome men somehow turned into a story about fighting monsters, leveling up, suffering physical and emotional torment, and building a career?
