At the debate at Lingtai, Huan Lidong became famous across the land overnight.
He descended the mountain to travel the world. He drew his sword and shattered ten thousand arts with a single strike; he sheathed it and smiled away old grudges. Once his business was done, he left without a trace, hiding all credit and fame.
A spirited young man, truly peerless in all the world.
Everyone said that those who cultivate the sword should join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and anyone looking to marry should marry Huan Lidong.
Huan Lidong finished his work and went home, ready to spend another three hundred years cooped up with his master. He'd eat the grapes his master peeled for him and cheerfully count how many demons he'd slain on his trip.
His junior brother came rushing over. "Senior Brother! Something terrible has happened!"
Huan Lidong ate a grape. "?"
Junior Brother: "The Bliss Palace has come to ask for your hand! The palace master says you took his body and have to take responsibility!"
Huan Lidong froze. "I never did that."
Junior Brother: "The Medicine King Valley sent ten miles of wedding gifts. Their young valley master says you broke your sword because of him, and agreed to repay him with your own body..."
Huan Lidong looked bewildered. "I never agreed to that."
Junior Brother: "The Miaoyin Sect, the Xuanqing Temple, the Outer Heaven Demon Realm... They're nearly filling the whole foot of the mountain!"
Huan Lidong was puzzled. "Have they been so free lately that they can all team up to tease me?"
His master expressionlessly snapped his silver chopsticks.
"Master?" His sole disciple took hold of his wrist. "Don't hurt your hand."
His master's voice was complicated. "Do you truly not understand?"
Huan Lidong: "Understand what?"
His master stared at his completely oblivious disciple and sighed in dismay.
Reading guide:
1. As the title suggests, a sword cultivator is so naturally flirtatious that he becomes everyone's crush, but none of them have a chance.
2. The protagonist cultivates the righteous path and draws his sword to help others. From another perspective, he could be seen as a meddler, so readers who dislike protagonists who save people should approach with caution.
3. One-on-one romance, pairing already decided.
Theme: Be strict with yourself and lenient with others.
