Synopsis

[No transmigration, no rebirth, no golden finger, pure historical romance] [Alternate setting + plenty of authorial liberties, don’t read too much into it]

[Light ensemble cast: The supporting characters have their own stories, and some may leave the stage as the plot requires]

[Content warning: The heroine is a lovestruck fool at first and can’t fight, relying entirely on the hero and her brother for protection. Later she becomes an unhinged, bloodthirsty killer. She’s no saint, but she’s not a bad person either.]

She was an innocent young girl in a treacherous, ever-shifting martial world. At eleven, her brother, caught in the midst of its turmoil, sent her up a mountain to keep her safe.

Then one day, she sneaked down the mountain and met a man who claimed to be the sole disciple of a legendary physician.

He was always flippant in conversation, yet he arranged everything along the way and protected her at every turn, as if nothing were beyond his abilities.

They were mere strangers who’d met by chance, but when they parted, she felt an unexpected pang of reluctance.

He was a physician’s disciple with extraordinary skills, yet he refused to save lives. At nine, he’d saved a swift blade instead. He preferred chess to saving people.

Then one day, after arranging all his pieces, he began approaching the woman he’d chosen as his first pawn, just as planned.

A skilled player plots; an unskilled one frets. He calculated the course of every piece on the board.

They say there are no takebacks in chess, yet time and again, he rescued the doomed piece.

As the game nears its end, who will win this match?

Any Female-Oriented Jianghu Stories?

I'm looking for excellent male-oriented novels like Sword Snow Stride and Sword of Coming. I've always wanted to find a story with a female lead who's bold and free-spirited, skilled at strategy and swordplay, and generous enough to share a jug of wine with the whole world. At the very least, she should be smart. A xianxia novel like Shi Jing's I Shall Become an Immortal would also work.
