[The heroine is invincible, while the hero hands her a sword, wipes her sweat, and cheers her on. One handles the killing, the other the burying.]
The daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan, Xingwei was born under an ill-starred fate, so she was sent to the Xuantian Sect’s Sword School to train from a young age. At sixteen, under the name Chan Hui, she claimed the title of the world’s greatest martial artist.
As fate turned, she lost her original memories and came to believe she was a transmigrator from another world.
Everyone says Xingwei is disciplined and proper, the very model of virtue. To that, Prince Yun Ji of the Han lands can only say: She certainly looks proper when she draws her sword. When she’s stripping people, well, that’s harder to say.
After Xingwei regains her memories, she cultivates the Way of No Delusion, renounces desire, and abstains from the Five Poisons. Just as Yun Ji is about to secure his place in her heart, she breaks up with him without warning.
After reflecting on it in anguish, Yun Ji suddenly sees the truth: anyone with too much pride is destined to be alone for life! And so, the following scene unfolds:
Xingwei: Your Highness, I must return to my sect and report in.
Yun Ji: Oh, go ahead.
Xingwei: Then let go of my hand.
Yun Ji: I said, my hand won’t listen. You can’t blame me.
Xingwei draws her sword, and Yun Ji lets go in an instant.
Xingwei points her sword at him: The Way of No Delusion cuts off the seven emotions and six desires. Understand?
Yun Ji pushes the blade aside and embraces her: You can cut away the six desires, but you can’t cut me away.
Xingwei: Can you tell the difference between restraint and shamelessness?
From then on, through every storm and shadow, he remains three steps behind her.
She kills, he hands her a sword; her blade gleams coldly, his smile is warm. When her sword flashes like a rainbow and shakes the world, he asks, shovel in hand: How many are we burying today?
[Strong heroine. She’s a peerless healer at first, then becomes peerless in both medicine and martial arts.
One-on-one romance, both leads devoted only to each other: aloof swordswoman x lovestruck prince.]
The female lead is indeed invincible, but she suffers a lot later on, like a little bitter gourd. Why is everything blamed on her? Fortunately, she has a master and senior brother. What breaks her heart later is not love but family, which is good. In the beginning, the male lead's character didn't seem very good, and his intelligence didn't seem to match the female lead.
This book is really well-written; the writing is smooth and the pacing is excellent. It's not drawn out at all, and even knowing the story's direction, you can still keep reading. I rarely find books I can actually finish reading; it's truly rare.
Absolutely fantastic! The female lead is intelligent and quick-witted, seemingly serious but with a wealth of inner monologues, and incredibly funny. She's not at all a weak or naive girl; she's very capable and principled, neither servile nor obsequious towards the male lead, but rather showing mutual respect. The male lead is also quite normal.
Although it's a short story, the writing is excellent, and it's truly captivating! Despite its brevity, it's full of twists and turns. It's rare to see such a wonderful male lead; Yun Ji is absolutely fantastic! The second male lead, Qin Zhao, is also excellent. The characters are all very fleshed out, especially Ming Heng and Shen Shu.
I love you, author! 😘 This book is so good! ❤️ The only thing that hurt me was Qin Zhao's death; it broke my heart. 😢 When I first read the ending and saw the male lead die, I almost had a heart attack from anger. Thankfully, the epilogue had a happy ending. The characters are well-developed; the female lead isn't a stereotypical cold-blooded character—she's genuinely fleshed out.
It's a very good read, funny and witty story about heroes and heroines in the martial arts world. The female lead is the best in every way, and the male lead is also very affectionate, righteous, brave, resourceful and loyal. I love this kind of female lead, I love this kind of author, and I love this book.
It's really well-written. I feel that after the female lead regains her memories, the ancient personality is actually the dominant one, and she suffers a lot internally. Yun Ji dies later, which is regrettable, but I think it's actually a good ending because he loved the female lead and fulfilled his sacrifices for her. Although they end up together in the epilogue, I think the tragic ending is good. I'm very satisfied with this ending.
It's so good! The female lead is never weak; she's always very strong and holds the initiative. I love it so much! Who can understand staying up all night to finish it?
Highly recommended! A female-centric novel with a strong female protagonist as the main character.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
