Aboard the Pirate Ship

Shentu Yue was a wandering cultivator.

Shentu Yue was a famous and brilliant wandering cultivator.

Shentu Yue was a famous and brilliant wandering cultivator plagued by bad luck, the kind who'd get struck by lightning even in his sleep.

After a treasure he'd won from a demon's lair following five days and nights of fierce fighting was casually picked up by a passing low-level cultivator, Shentu Yue decided to find someone favored by the Heavenly Dao to cancel out his bad luck.

That someone was Fu Shuang.

A low-level female cultivator who wandered alone, honest and simple-minded, and only knew how to say, “Oh, oh,” “Sorry about that,” “I didn't mean to,” and “You're amazing,” but who had incredibly good luck.

Once they became companions, Shentu Yue would work hard fighting at the front while Fu Shuang huffed and puffed behind him, refining the treasures. This made Shentu Yue very unhappy.

But Fu Shuang was honest and always apologized sheepishly, doing her best to make it up to him with other treasures.

Looking at her ashamed expression, Shentu Yue would think, Forget it. I'll just call it taking care of this obedient little tagalong.

Until one day, when people from Lushan Sword Sect surrounded them. They pointed their swords at Fu Shuang and listed thirteen charges: killing fellow disciples, killing elders, blowing up the treasure pavilion, stealing the sect's most valuable treasure, and betraying the sect by fleeing...

Shentu Yue: “...???”

Fu Shuang: “Uh, uh, uh...”

Shentu Yue: “Quit stammering!”

But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do. He was already on the bandits' ship, so he could only see it through to the end.

1. The blurb is from the male lead's point of view, while the main text is mostly from the female lead's.

2. The female lead has sound morals and isn't a bad person. There are reasons behind all those charges, and the main text will explain them one by one.

3. A sweet romance. [Not a female-power fantasy]
