[Gentle sheltered young lady × Obsessive master of the Silver Mask Tower]
Su Wanyue was raised behind closed doors. Her family arranged for her to marry a notorious wastrel from the capital.
With the wedding date drawing near, she used the excuse of praying for her grandmother’s blessings to leave the manor for the first time. She planned to take a detour to Red Sword Manor and see the birth mother she had not seen in years.
Who would have thought she would run into bandits along the way? As blades flashed toward her, she was on the verge of dying in the wilderness.
Standing on a treetop was Xie Wujin, master of the Shadow Tower, rumored to be a ruthless killer.
A cold silver mask hid his entire face. Everyone in the martial world gave him a wide berth.
With nowhere left to turn, Su Wanyue abandoned every shred of a sheltered lady’s dignity and begged him tremblingly to save her.
Xie Wujin had merely been passing by. In a fairly good mood that day, he casually stepped in to help.
He thought he had saved a frail young woman who meant nothing to him, and gave it no further thought.
Xie Wujin never imagined that one casual rescue would leave him tormented by longing and unable to let her go.
Everyone thought Su Wanyue had escaped the wastrel’s marriage and finally found freedom.
Little did they know, she had dodged one pitfall only to stumble straight into the hands of a devil.
People asked Su Wanyue, “The master of the Shadow Tower is such a fearsome man. How do you get along with him?”
With a gentle expression, Su Wanyue replied softly,
“He seems cold most of the time, but he treats me wonderfully.”
“He is just terribly possessive. If anyone so much as looks at me for too long, he remembers it for ages.”
Everyone in the martial world who heard this: ...We’d better not mess with him. We’re out.
