The Venom Saintess's Jianghu Misadventures

"Where silver bells ring, the martial world stretches far; camellias ask nothing of the years."

Miao Li, the Miao borderlands' Gu Saintess, brings along a rebellious Gu King, half a wrongly written love-Gu recipe, and a group of even less reliable martial-world companions, turning the Central Plains martial world upside down.

She thought the martial world would be just like the tales: flashing blades, thrilling vendettas, and free-spirited adventures. Instead, she discovers that...

Elders of prestigious sects secretly keep Gu insects as pets,

The Demonic Cult ruins are actually a retirement clubhouse where the old masters play cards,

And the fearsome "love Gu" of legend is actually... an aphrodisiac?

"Where's the promised blood and thunder? Why is everything one big misunderstanding?"

And yet, it's precisely this motley crew who can...

Solve a century-old mystery and save the people of the world,

Then laugh together in a tavern at dusk and promise to spend the next eighty years together.

"The martial world may not be what it seems, but they became its finest."
