Everyone knows that Shiling, the Sword Venerable's sole beloved disciple, and Duan Yunchen, the head senior disciple, are bitter enemies who can't stand each other.
From the moment they met, the disciples of Sword Pavilion split into two factions, competing openly and behind each other's backs.
During the sect trials, Duan Yunchen says to use a roundabout strategy, so Shiling has to challenge the demon lair alone.
At an inn, Duan Yunchen orders his food without chili, so Shiling has to ask for extra-hot spice.
Even when they come to a fork in the road, if one says to turn left, the other has to turn right.
Then one day, these two sworn enemies accidentally fall into the Reincarnation Mirror together.
They spend centuries inside the mirror, and when they wake, it feels as if they merely had a dream.
But Shiling is pregnant.
Both parties have lost their memories and claim they have no idea how it happened.
Question: Whose baby is it?
Everyone turns to look at the dashing, peerlessly domineering Duan Yunchen.
Duan Yunchen: "..."
From that day on, daily life at Sword Pavilion changes.
Duan Yunchen's blood brother in the sect goes up the mountain to gather herbs, only to have precious medicinal ingredients snatched away by Shiling's junior disciple, who explains, "My senior sister's pregnancy is unstable. She needs these herbs to nourish the baby."
Everyone stares at the stolen ingredient, one of the materials used to make fasting pills, and falls silent.
Duan Yunchen's sword attendant gets up early to wash swords at a spot rich in spiritual energy, only to have Shiling's followers take over the place. They claim, "If Senior Sister's sword isn't clean, she'll be upset. Who'll take responsibility if she gets so upset that her pregnancy becomes unstable?"
With the sword-washing pool gone, all the disciples' sword spirits reportedly go on strike and refuse to fight for three days.
Even when they go down the mountain on a mission to hunt a mirage demon, the others manage to beat them to it, claiming that pregnant women are delicate and have trouble getting around, and that yielding to them is a virtue.
The disciples silently watch Shiling uproot a willow tree and knock out three burly men with a single punch, then swallow nervously.
This is what they call delicate? Having trouble getting around?
At last, everyone can take it no longer.
"This is just an excuse to take advantage of us!"
"It's discrimination! They're ostracizing us on purpose!"
"Grab your weapons and fight! Anyone who backs out is a coward!"
Later, everyone storms into Shiling's room together, only to suddenly see the usually arrogant and aloof young man holding a delicate girl with a face like a spring morning. He raises one finger to them.
"Shh. A Ling is asleep."
A-A Ling?
Everyone falls silent, then suddenly understands.
A drama-loving junior sister who acts delicate in public but wields a giant meteor hammer X a senior brother who seems cool and aloof but is as childish as an elementary school kid
A story about two childish rivals and their tsundere ways.
Shiling will always remember the graceful figure of the young man standing on the mountain peak with a sword when she first joined the sect as a child.
Before she could even develop a crush, he tugged on her braids, messed up her skirt, and stole her spirit beast.
In a fit of anger, Shiling trained with a giant meteor hammer all night, vowing to knock out three Duan Yunchen's with one punch.
Duan Yunchen was young and foolish. He liked a little girl, so he bullied her to get her attention.
And then they became sworn enemies.
Duan Yunchen: TAT
1. The heroine's pregnancy is a plot point. Think Nezha: she can stay pregnant indefinitely without developing a big belly.
2. A story about two childish rivals competing for years. A cute, sweet romance.
