Chu Yan grew up in an orphanage. She went from quietly nursing her wounds alone, looking a complete mess, to beating the big kids until they bowed and called her “Sis Yan.” It cost her plenty of blood and tears.
Unfortunately, her good days didn’t last. One day, she found herself in the Kangxi era, reborn as a seven-year-old young lady of the Tong Jia clan.
Relatives out to get her? Her life motto is to pay them back tenfold!
Weak and sickly? How can she feel safe if her fists aren’t hard enough?
Fortunately, although her parents are still distant, she has gained an Imperial Noble Consort aunt who cares for her. The aunt hurriedly took the “poor little thing” in. With the emperor’s maternal clan behind her, and as the niece of the woman who actually holds power in the harem, Chu Yan has enough standing to live it up in the palace.
As it happens, the Thirteenth Prince, whom she liked in her previous life, has just lost his mother. His pitiable look as he presses his lips together, grits his teeth, and sheds tears is hard to bear.
Facing the little boy, who is a head taller than her, Chu Yan waves dismissively. “What are you afraid of? Big Sis will protect you from now on.”
What are those palace maids over there whispering about?
What? She has ulterior motives? She’s up to no good?!
“...”
She doesn’t! She isn’t! She’s a proud successor to socialism, and she is NOT into little boys!!! (Chu Yan’s righteous face)
(Part Two) Her aunt’s death marks the end of Chu Yan’s carefree childhood. Without her strongest protector, she is caught in a web of palace intrigue. The imperial power is formidable, and perhaps, like so many others, she is about to have her life turned upside down by a single word from Kangxi.
Her trip to Jiangnan seems to be her last chance. The distant world of the martial arts world is another place she can only gaze toward from afar.
And so...
“Young hero, you have a clear brow and bright eyes. Would you be willing to elope with me, make money for me, and risk your life for me?”
“!!!” The young hero stared wide-eyed, his face turning red, but could only stammer wordlessly.
Chu Yan looked heartbroken. “You won’t? In that case... now that you know my secret, you’re either my friend or my enemy. Draw your blade!”
A moment later, Chu Yan held the long blade she had just snatched, watching the young man flee without even taking his own weapon. “...”
...What a coward! You’ve shamed the entire martial world!
Just as she was lamenting how lonely life could be, a familiar voice drifted from behind her. “...It seems I know your secret now, too.”
?
That voice...
Chu Yan froze and turned around in surprise. Someone calmly removed his hat, wearing a strange version of his usually sunny smile. “Aren’t you going to ask if I’m willing? Of course, I don’t want to draw my blade against you...”
Chu Yan: “?”
Wasn’t this person supposed to be in the capital?!

Chu Yan: My childhood sweetheart seems to have gone bad. He’s getting more and more perverted. What should I do? Asking online, it’s urgent...
P.S. 1. Strong, naturally scheming, fiercely protective, straightforward young lady and a seemingly sunny puppy-like prince who is secretly scheming and obsessive.
