The First Strike After Breaking Off the Engagement: She Takes a Blade to the Palace Exam and Shocks the Court

[Contract marriage + two strong leads + sweet romance + play the pig to eat the tiger + demon suppression]

Shen Nanyi, a peerless female war god whose entire family had been executed, fled with grievous injuries into the slums, where a blind butcher saved her.

To evade their enemies, they pretended to be married, then made the act real and wed.

Shen Nanyi thought her husband was a disabled man who couldn’t hurt a fly. She swore to protect him at all costs, even using her finest swordsmanship to chop meat for him.

Until the day an army of one hundred thousand demon-suppressing soldiers surrounded the butcher shop.

Shen Nanyi drew her sword, ready to die, but saw her ever-timid blind husband sigh and pull a rusty cleaver from beneath the chopping block.

“Step back, dear. This job is too dirty.”

With one swing, the heavens shattered, and every god and demon in the city bowed!

Shen Nanyi stared in shock. “You call that butchering pigs?”

Lu Chen smiled faintly. “Whether pig or god, one cut is all it takes.”
