Young Master, the Jianghu Doesn't Work Like That (GB)

[Naive young lord x worldly, street-smart swordswoman]

Fang Tingxin always thought the martial world should be like this:

Dashing in fine clothes, riding swift horses, and roaming the world with a sword.

Righting wrongs and drawing a blade to help those in need.

Rescuing a damsel in distress, then earning a heartwarming tale of gratitude.

That is, until he actually set foot in the martial world.

The first time he tried to act heroically, a scruffy old man kissed him on the cheek.

The second time he tried to help someone in trouble, the people his family had sent to find him caught him red-handed.

The third time he drew his sword to help, he ended up teaming up with the scruffy old man.

A wealthy, spoiled young lord ventures into the martial world for the first time, with one great wish: to become a hero praised by all.

Later, he finally understands:

The martial world really is treacherous.

People really are unfathomable.

And that smelly, scruffy old man is actually a sweet-smelling beauty!!!

[Author's Note]

The dynasty is fictional!

This is a short story, around 150,000 words or so!

I'll probably update every other day! The schedule is uncertain, and I'll revise the story during the day.
