After retiring from the martial world many years ago, Yao Luheng devoted herself to running the teahouse her mothers had left her. With no enemies to trouble her, life was pretty good.
On New Year's Eve, heavy snow sealed the mountain. Her little niece, a little devil, sneaked down the mountain and, as if that weren't enough, found a dying person in the snow.
The kindhearted owner brought her back to the teahouse for treatment.
As it turned out, the woman was He Pingyao, a student of the great swordswoman Liu. Half a year ago, Liu had died a tragic death, and the entire martial world was vying for her Seven Hidden Swords Manual.
Word was that only her students knew where the manual was. Better get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.
She absolutely couldn't be allowed to stay, but...
The teahouse could use a dog.
"You have two choices. Get out of my teahouse right now and go back to starving and living one day at a time, or stay here and be my dog. I'll keep you safe."
She chose the latter and stayed at the teahouse as a dog.
A dog that bit hardest of all.
