The Stolen Little Mute Has Mastered the Art of Tea

#Classic historical setting + wuxia + older sister and younger brother + 1v1 + happy ending + jianghu + court

#Plot-focused, with a strong heroine and a weaker hero

As the only disciple of the master thief Ghost Hand, Yan Jiu dreams of becoming a great wuxia hero and making a name for herself.

When she hears that the corrupt Grand Tutor Yang’s birthday gifts will be passing through, Yan Jiu strikes without hesitation.

But the stolen chest contains no treasure. Instead, there’s a boy inside.

He’s filthy, and he can’t speak.

Yan Jiu: …The sky is falling.

Still, since he’s clever and loyal, she’ll reluctantly take him in as her lackey!

Yan Jiu punishes corrupt officials, saves the people, braves a sea of flames, steals a divine talisman, enters Bianjing, and kills treacherous villains.

At first, she only wanted to steal the most expensive treasure and make a name for herself.

Later, she wanted to unite the jianghu and become the greatest under heaven.

And later still, with the nation on the brink of ruin and the realm on the verge of collapse, how could anyone remain untouched when the nest was falling?

To hold on to her position as the greatest in the jianghu, she has no choice but to answer the call in a crisis, turn the tide, and prop up the collapsing realm.

Who would’ve thought? At first, she only wanted to steal a treasure!

But…

Yan Jiu glances at the little mute beside her.

Well, doesn’t this count as getting what she wanted?

[A stingy master thief chasing fame and fortune x a sweet-talking, sycophantic little mute]

1. The heroine isn’t invincible. She’ll suffer setbacks and take losses.

2. Low-martial setting, fictional world, my own take on wuxia, entirely made up. Basically, it’s about the heroine’s adventures in the jianghu.

3. The heroine is strong in martial arts, while the hero is a master of sweet talk. They both have a wonderful future ahead of them.
