A warm, adorably contrasting young artist × a dashing, free-spirited martial world youth
Plot-driven romance | A funny guy's springtime | Silly jokes and bad punchlines, not pure historical fiction
The current emperor values civil governance and loves painting and calligraphy. Obsessed with artistic achievement but inept at ruling, he listens to the slander of treacherous officials.
A conspiracy leads to the confiscation of a household, sending the carefree young princess Feng Yan's life into a sudden decline.
Engagement canceled? Fiancé missing? No way home?
Hunted across the city, Feng Yan flees and encounters a group of young men and women from the martial world whose way of life is completely at odds with her own. Together, they embark on a series of hilarious adventures.
At the academy, of the "Six Arts and Eight Elegant Pursuits" she was taught, Feng Yan was only good at painting and calligraphy. In class, she would always sketch the free and easy martial world she longed for.
Her teacher had warned her: Don't romanticize a world of fighting and killing.
But after meeting Cheng Sanqin, he tells her: When people lose their sense of chivalry, and martial arts can no longer be used to help those in need, the martial world loses its meaning.
"Are you scholars who read the classics just to enjoy peaceful days with your calligraphy and painting while the land falls into turmoil?"
Academics meet the martial world: a passionate ensemble story that explores traditional arts and culture.
Did they have food delivery in ancient times, too? Closed at the third watch, open again at the fifth?
A dynasty most like the modern age: a prosperous capital, no nighttime curfew, and taverns and teahouses alive with music and song.
Abstract dialogue, not purely historical in style. The main cast roams freely from one adventure to the next.
Life is hard, so we all need a little martial-world madness, plus some over-the-top, melodramatic romance. I want to make you laugh out loud.
Theme: Universal love and opposition to aggression.
