The World's Greatest Sickly Beauty [Comprehensive Martial Arts + Jian San]

You open your eyes to find that everything around you has changed beyond recognition. Before you've even figured out what's going on, an old man leads a troop of soldiers rushing toward you, crying, "Your Majesty, this old servant is late in coming to your rescue!" What would you do?

As the Parrot (crossed out) Heroic and Righteous Lord Who Protects the Nation and Secures the Realm, Meritorious Servant of Baoying, and Tang Envoy to the Western Regions with Imperial Credentials... Du Heng didn't make a sound. To avoid being assassinated by a certain Lord Juntian, he made full use of the habits he'd been forced to develop over the past ten-plus years, covered his mouth, coughed dozens of times, then closed his eyes and fainted peacefully.

After a commotion, Du Heng pretended to wake up and finally managed to slowly piece together what was going on.

The good news: he hadn't been hauled off by some random people to usurp Li Chu's throne, so he didn't have to worry about his name being added to the urgent overnight list for Wugou Terrace.

The bad news: he seemed to be far from the Tang Empire, in a strange and unfamiliar world. Who knew if he could make it home safely... Was it too late to pray devoutly to Maru for protection?

[Read this first]

1. The protagonist is a healer and swordsman, but a native of the Jianwang 3 world, not a player. He has dual cultivation in Wufang and Lingsu, with a preference for Wufang, and also knows some swordsmanship and hidden weapons. His personality may differ a little from the original story.

2. Youyou Ju will be mentioned quite a bit, but their relationship is platonic, not romantic.

3. I mainly want to write about the contrast of being sickly yet powerful, and the thrill of battle. I'll do my best to portray the original characters faithfully, but the protagonist may overpower them in battle, so please consider carefully before reading if that bothers you.

Theme: No matter what hardships you face, have the courage to meet them head-on.
