The Runaway Bride and the Fallen Sect Leader

Xie Yunshu did something earth-shattering: she ran away from her wedding.

She had only meant to escape the suffocating engagement, but nearly fell into the hands of a gang of bandits.

At the critical moment, a sword flashed like the cold moon, and a woman named Jiang Qinghan rescued her.

This woman was a peerless martial artist, even colder in demeanor. As it happened, her sect had disbanded, leaving her with nowhere to go.

Xie Yunshu's eyes lit up. She immediately pulled out a purse and offered, "Ten taels of gold per day. Come roam the jianghu with me. What do you say?"

Everyone in the jianghu knew that the Xie family's heiress had a cold-faced swordswoman at her side.

Her swordsmanship was unrivaled, and she spoke as little as possible, yet she granted every request Xie Yunshu made.

Everyone said she had been won over by money. Only Jiang Qinghan knew that the reason she stayed had long since changed.

Then Xie Yunshu's intended came looking for her, and an old friend from years ago and a poisonous enchantress appeared one after another, each wanting to take Jiang Qinghan away from her.

At last, Xie Yunshu could take no more. She cornered Shu Qinghan against a wall, her eyes reddening. "I've given you so much gold. Can't you... like only me?"

The ice-sculpture-like swordswoman blushed at the tips of her ears and took Xie Yunshu's hand for the first time. Her voice remained cool, but her words were resolute:

"From the very beginning, you were the only one I chose."
