The famed “Jade-Faced Fox” of the martial world, Shen Yuhu, is a carefree, charismatic swordsman who can take on foes in every direction and hates being tied down more than anything. When he hears that his family is forcing him to marry his unseen “sickly” fiancé, he climbs over the wall and flees that very night, declaring, “Marry him? I’d rather throw myself off a cliff!”
Meanwhile, the refined young master Xie Yunlan seems as gentle as jade, but in truth he’s a ruthless schemer who plays the pig to eat the tiger. To escape his betrothal, he travels the martial world under the alias “Yan Wugui,” taking on anyone who dares defy him. But when he meets the “fox spirit” Shen Qingshuang, he falls for him at first sight, thinking, “A menace like him belongs to me.”
By a twist of fate, the two end up traveling together. One is sharp-tongued but softhearted, the other hides a blade behind his smile. They go from disliking each other to entrusting each other with their lives, and just as they’re about to pledge themselves to one another in secret...
On their wedding day, Shen Yuhu is bound hand and foot and hauled into the wedding hall. When the veil is lifted, the “annoying fiancé” standing opposite him turns out to be the “Yan Wugui” he’s been longing for all this time?
Shen Yuhu: “...You were playing me?”
Xie Yunlan (smiling): “My dear, would you rather jump off a cliff or complete the ceremony? Pick one.”
