(The serious version)

A young man in Yangzhou pulled a beautiful girl out of the moat. She wore red, had a face like a peach blossom, and was clearly from a wealthy family. When he asked her name, she smiled shyly and said, "My surname is Ma, and my given name is Lisu."

The young man: ...

That name sounded rich. It had to be an alias.

The beautiful girl's life had been full of hardship. A rich old man had tormented her until her family was destroyed. A handsome young man she'd once helped had stabbed her in the back, and even her ancestral home had been seized by villains. Clutching her property deed, she'd fled all the way here, poisoned and on the brink of death.

The young man took in the unfortunate girl and asked what she planned to do next.

Lisu chewed on some medicinal herbs as she sat in his courtyard, leisurely sharpening her sword.

"No rush. Thirty minutes east of the river, thirty minutes west..."

"??"

"Oh, I mean, I'll go kill them all in a little while."

The young man: ...She's a real menace.
