[The world's best swordsman, a carefree, drunken gong x the frail, gentle former world's best swordsman, with martial arts grudges and secret identities]
One sword throws the martial world into chaos; drunk, he reclines in a beauty's arms.
Xiao Zhupo, the world's best swordsman, loves alcohol more than life itself. In exchange for a jar of century-old liquor, he agrees to escort someone.
It happens to be the most beautiful person under heaven: snow-white skin, crimson lips, and a willowy figure, a man with a woman's exquisite beauty.
What a shame. He likes fine wine, not fine looks.
The beauty seems ready to fall over at the slightest breeze, frail and sickly. Looking after him would be a real hassle, but luckily, he doesn't need looking after.
But later...
With a dark expression, he watches a line of utterly unsuitable men trying to ingratiate themselves with the beauty, then grits his teeth. "Fu Zhaoxue, why didn't you ask me?"
The beauty covers his mouth to cough, looks up, and replies innocently, "You weren't willing."
When was he ever unwilling?
He was more than willing!
In the end, he loses his footing and gets drunk at the beauty's feet.
But how can this frail beauty also be the greatest swordsman in the martial world?
"I'm drunk on the dimples that bear your name."
Reader's guide:
1. Xiao Zhupo x Fu Zhaoxue (Xie Jiting). Both are virgins, younger gong, twelve-year age gap.
2. The shou is extremely frail, the sort who could cough up blood every three steps and fall ill at a gust of wind. But he used to be exceptionally powerful. He has a slight everyone-loves-him quality, but only returns the gong's affection, and is firmly committed to a one-on-one romance.
3. The gong is a heavy drinker, but he'll change.
