Frost on the Long Sword

[Strong Female Lead + Saving the Male Lead + Devoted Male Lead + Sweet and Angsty]

Xiaoxiao has barely entered the martial world when a powerful man sets his sights on her.

He’s stunningly handsome, but trouble seems to follow him everywhere.

Xiaoxiao is a rookie whose only concern is staying alive, so she comes up with a plan: provoke him at every turn.

But the man is stubbornly devoted. He never hits back or talks back, and he’s content as long as she gives him a little food.

Later, with help from others, Xiaoxiao suddenly succeeds. They never meet again in the martial world, and she never hears another word about him.

Yet Xiaoxiao is so heartbroken she can barely think straight, because he turns out to be the one she’s pined for over three years. Was she blind all along…?

When Xiaoxiao sheds her rookie self and dons the glorious mantle of the martial world’s overlord, people ask what she thinks of the powerful man.

Xiaoxiao: Don’t provoke him, whatever you do. I’ll be the one to take him down!

Someone: He’s here! Wait, why is the head of the family hiding behind that tree?

Playing dumb doesn’t work, so Xiaoxiao can only hack and stab wildly at empty air before turning to him. “You… are you all right?”

The powerful man’s eyes redden. “Does missing you terribly count?”
