After the Angsty Novel's Heroine Took Up Her Sword

Blurb dated April 14, 2021. I may revise it later.

Shen Hanyu has a dream in which she becomes the heroine of a tragic romance. She marries the Prince of Chu and becomes his princess consort, only to have her family destroyed and be made into a human medicine for his beloved.

When she wakes, she sees willow-pattern curtains and immediately rushes into the general's study, slamming the red-jewel-encrusted sword onto the desk.

Three years later, the mighty general is summoned to the capital by imperial decree. His daughter, Shen Hanyu, is pursued by the sons of many noble families, yet she never gives the Prince of Chu so much as a glance.

But the delicate and gentle Miss Shen from the rumors splits the Prince of Chu's carriage in two with a single sword stroke in the middle of the street, terrifying the beauty in his arms until she trembles.

"You picked on A-Zhang? I think you don't want to keep those hands!"

Only then do the onlookers notice the young man in blue standing behind Shen Hanyu, the corner of his lips curving upward.

But as soon as Miss Shen turns around, she puts on a pitiful expression.

"Sister Shen, don't be angry. It's all A-Zhang's fault..."

Ning Huaizhang would never forget the girl riding toward him on horseback. When her thin, sharp sword sliced through the bandits' throats, his heart pounded like a drum. It felt as if the thirteen years he'd spent drifting from place to place had all been for the sake of waiting for her.

At the time, he thought that no fame or fortune could compare to a single word from A-Yu.
