Little Martial Aunt

After transmigrating, Yun Yin became the woman about to marry the Sword Venerable.

The Sword Venerable was powerful and renowned, and everyone envied her. Even Yun Yin herself thought it was an excellent match.

They weren't deeply in love, but it was always nice to have a powerful person to rely on. In the months after their wedding, they treated each other with respect and lived together in harmony. In the eyes of others, they were a perfect couple.

She had thought their days would remain peaceful, but then disaster struck. The Sword Venerable died, body and soul destroyed. His disciple, who had been traveling abroad, rushed back as soon as he heard the news, swearing to avenge his master.

Lu Mingzhuo, the Sword Venerable's first disciple, was chivalrous and spirited, a promising young man who roamed the world with nothing but his sword.

At his master's funeral, he saw the bereaved woman in white mourning clothes. Her eyes were wet with tears, her figure as delicate as a willow in the wind, and a bright red beauty mark adorned her lips.

She looked forlorn, sorrowful, and far too frail to fend for herself.

The Sword Venerable had made many enemies in his lifetime, living freely and settling scores as he pleased. Both out of duty and simple decency, Lu Mingzhuo would never abandon his shiniang.

Everyone praised Lu Mingzhuo for honoring his master, keeping to propriety, and exercising restraint. Years passed, yet he still cherished and protected his master's widow as carefully as ever.

None knew that he and his shiniang had once both been afflicted with a love poison. On a stormy night, in a small room just one wall away from the ancestral hall, they spent... one reckless night together.

The word shiniang was something he had uttered countless times in his dreams, tossing and turning at midnight, yet could never bring himself to say aloud.

It would also be the two most painful words of his life.

#I heard you can write shiniang stories, so I thought I'd give it a try XD

#My ideal is to write a bittersweet, forbidden romance full of tension, but since everything I write turns sweet, it might end up being a sweet story too. orz
