[The Smiling, Proud Wanderer Fanfiction] If Only I Could Be Unbeaten

Their names have some similarities, if you look closely. But Dongfang Bubai uses needles, while Chang Yang wields a clumsy, heavy blade.

The former smiles and asks why she would bother fighting a bunch of stinking men. The latter tilts her head and asks him, "What's so great about being a girl?"

A female-oriented Dongfang Bubai fanfic, based on the original story, with a happy ending planned.

Since plenty of people may not remember the story or its characters, I'll bring back the original characters and work the useful plot points into this version.

I actually think there may be more than one path through The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Besides Linghu Chong's, at least one other possibility lies with Dongfang Bubai.

As for writing a female-oriented story about Dongfang, I chose to pair him with a girl in order to explore the question of gender binaries in Dongfang Bubai.

I've been preparing this story for a long time, and now I'm finally writing it.

One possible content warning: for a short stretch, the male and female leads will briefly play at being adoptive father and son, but there's nothing between them. They're only using the titles to fool each other.

There aren't any other male or female love interests, either.
