The Sword Song of Lovebirds

[A deranged black lotus, the enemy of the entire martial world] × [A stubborn, cunning, yandere young master of the hall]

Living freely in the martial world means doing whatever she wants! That was always how Mu Yuanshi thought and lived.

Steal the secret manual of the demonic sect's leader, shatter the successor of the righteous sect's Daoist heart...

What she loved most was getting the various factions under her thumb and making them obey.

Armed with nothing but a sword, she offended everyone. What could they do about it?

Escaping death was an everyday occurrence, but this time, she was left completely crippled.

She lowered her eyes to her powerless hands. Without the most direct support of physical strength, she would have to play the martial world's game of strategy differently.

In her desperate situation, she sized up Liu Xianxian in his wheelchair. He was one of the few people she hadn't made an enemy of. What a pleasing piece on the board.

Crouching beside his wheelchair, she admired her new toy. He could actually see through her wicked intentions, but he wasn't very obedient.

She sweetly called him "husband" and bought the title of "Mrs. Liu" from him.

Every time she left him speechless, Liu Xianxian wondered what sort of creature he had picked up.

And whether this deal he'd made with her was a loss or a profit.

She was going to extend his life, and the fact that he hadn't been angered to death was thanks to his open-mindedness. She helped him regain power, but demanded more than half in return.

She also made him famous throughout the martial world, and that part was definitely true...

If her identity were exposed, the whole martial world would come after him to settle the score. How could that not count as becoming famous throughout the martial world?

She leaned against his wheelchair, called him "A-Xian," and said, "You're being disobedient again."

Liu Xianxian's smile grew more and more besotted. He held down the hand she was using to straighten his lapels and pressed it gently against his cheek as he replied:

"Which words of yours should I listen to, Yuan'er? The sweet nothings you say aloud, or the bastard you call me in your heart?"

At this point, even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would have to keep this deal going.

[Reader advisory]

At the suggestion of readers, it seems necessary to make this clear: the female lead has had previous partners, while the male lead is a virgin.

The male lead is "secondhand but brand-new, still sealed." He was forced into marriage, never fell in love, never consummated the marriage, and his first wife is dead.

I originally wanted to make the female lead a virgin, but given her personality, it would be ridiculous if she hadn't been with anyone before.

Theme: Affection is what holds us together.
