In the summer of the sixth year of Yongchang in the Great Zhao dynasty, the realm was at its height, with capable governance, social harmony, and peace throughout the land. Xue Xihe, third daughter of Snowstep Manor, became a shining star in the martial world thanks to her exceptional talent in martial arts.
Li Yu, the prime minister's son, fell in love with Xue Xihe at first sight. When his pursuit failed and she gave him a thrashing, he took the lesson to heart and decided to join the escort team led by her cousin, Xue Yi.
Thus began a journey over mountains and rivers. The endless road stretching thousands of miles, a mysterious escort destination, the courtesan Lan Niang, a leaf-shaped mask, the Chen family fortress in Luoyang, the young wandering swordsman Shen Ziyang... At last, they reached the Chen family fortress, never expecting that turbulent waves lurked beneath the calm surface. Li Yu, frail and soft-hearted, and very much attached to his life, could only hang on until the end and do what little he could to help his companions.
Pursue the girl? Staying alive comes first!
Wait, what did Miss Xue just say? Talk about succeeding by accident!
Xue Xihe smiled faintly. “I can marry you, but you still have to agree to a few conditions.”
Two couples:
[1] Upright martial sect, highly skilled, strong-willed and decisive, straightforward third daughter x frail and delicate, handsome, incapable of everything, pampered young master
[2] Gentle, steady son of a distinguished family x kind and virtuous top courtesan
