Qin Feiyun, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Cheng and the Great Sheng Empire's foremost general, is ordered to marry the Third Prince, the man who once saved her life. Deceived by him, she becomes his devoted wife and helps him seize the throne, only for her entire family to be sentenced to death.

Forced to drink poison, she swears before she dies that she will never forgive the Third Prince.

Reborn, she finds the scoundrel asking for her hand once more. Hiding the hatred in her eyes, Qin Feiyun only wants to get rid of him quickly, so she points at someone at random and says, "I already have someone I love!"

Everyone is stunned. How could she love Shen Anzhi, who only dreams of roaming the martial world?

The Second Prince, Shen Anzhi, is the emperor's most beloved son. But his heart belongs to the martial world, and he keeps clear of affairs in the capital. Even after saving a noble young lady, he fears getting embroiled in trouble and lets his younger brother take credit for saving her.

By the time he realizes she is the woman of his dreams, she has already become the Third Prince's consort, and he is consumed with regret. Worse, his younger brother has had her killed and dumped her body in a mass grave.

When Shen Anzhi hears of her death, he nearly goes mad. His heart is filled with remorse, but it cannot bring the woman he loves back to life. In the end, he weeps blood at her grave...

When he opens his eyes again, the woman is standing before him, repeatedly claiming that he is the one she loves. Unable to contain his excitement, Shen Anzhi immediately chimes in, "Third Brother, why don't you greet your Second Sister-in-Law!"

*Alternate setting, both leads are reborn, the hero has been devoted to her in both lives, one-on-one happy ending.

Duan Xingyun is sent to Luoyang by his master to deliver a letter. Before he leaves, his master tells him there are two people in Luoyang he must not offend: one called "Cold Yama," and the other "Thunderbolt Flame."

The one called "Thunderbolt Flame" is especially skilled at Zen arts. If he encounters her, he must keep his distance.

There are plenty of people in the martial world you shouldn't offend, and Duan Xingyun pays no heed to the warning. That is, until he meets the one called "Thunderbolt Flame," who turns out to be a woman.

He has only ever heard of Shaolin monks being skilled in Zen arts. Could this woman be a nun?

Only after spending time with her does Duan Xingyun realize that his master wasn't talking about Zen arts, but about her being a real pain to deal with.

She's truly one of a kind when it comes to being difficult.

And so he ends up with a formidable lady who could get him killed at any moment.

* A quick-witted, sharp-tongued heroine from the wilds of the martial world × a carefree, foul-mouthed outcast from a prestigious family

* A story about two silver-tongued masters teaming up to roam the martial world.
