Don't Ask About Jianghu Affairs

Recently, two strange events have been making waves in the martial world: The first: Li Hehe, the demonic cult's wanton, unruly enchantress, has actually agreed to work as a lackey for the imperial court. Together with His Highness Prince Jing, she rights wrongs and solves strange cases, stirring up a storm in the seemingly tranquil martial world... The demonic cult members were furious and ready to revolt. "Young Master, does that dog of a prince have some kind of leverage over you?" Li Hehe tearfully dismissed the twenty-seven dancers of the Nine Prisons Palace and replied through her grief, "He has nothing on me. I'm doing this of my own free will." The second: His Highness Prince Jing, famed as the unattainable beauty of the capital and someone who never so much as looked at a woman, has announced that he will marry the demonic cult's enchantress, Li Hehe, and spend his life devoted to her alone. His friends were amazed and secretly asked, "Your Highness, does that enchantress have some kind of leverage over you?" Shen Mingting's face remained impassive, but his eyes were tender. "She has nothing on me. I'm doing this of my own free will." * From the male lead's perspective: He knows she's a smooth-talking little liar.

My completed historical sweet romance, After Losing My Memory, I Mistook the Crown Prince for Someone Else, is next door. The following is my ongoing story, Fell for a Foolish Beauty, please add it to your collection! To find a good husband, Li Ci began living with her maternal grandparents, renowned scholars of their time, at the age of fourteen. They doted on her. Her grandparents and parents were entirely in agreement about her marriage: the ideal match should be virtuous and talented, come from a poor family, and be willing to marry into her family. Later, a distant cousin came to study at their estate. He was elegant and handsome, exceptionally talented, and poor as a church mouse. He perfectly fit their standards for a son-in-law. Li Ci was delighted. She paid close attention to him and treated him with thoughtful care. Unfortunately, she later learned that he was the heir of the prestigious Duke of Xinguo. She was dejected for two days, then set her sights on one of his classmates. - Xie Zhenchuan, heir of the Duke of Xinguo, concealed his identity and traveled far away to study at the Yu family estate in Yuyao, but unexpectedly got caught up with the young lady of the household. His cousin, Li Ci, was a peerlessly beautiful young woman, but she was naive and foolish, and her love for him was too obvious. She had even learned tricks like feigning indifference and diverting attention. Xie Zhenchuan was fed up with her pestering, so after turning her down, he promised to keep an eye out for her. Li Ci wasn't disappointed by his rejection. She happily agreed, hoping her cousin would find her a good husband. But her cousin didn't seem to take it seriously and kept putting her off. Knowing how hard he worked at his studies, Li Ci was considerate and went looking for a match herself. The day before the Lantern Festival, Li Ci came to visit. Xie Zhenchuan finally began to take her feelings seriously, only to see her eating the osmanthus taro dessert he had given her as she counted on her fingers and listed his classmates one by one: "Young Master Zhang is very learned and comes from a poor family, so he'd be a good match, but he's not very handsome. Young Master He is handsome and talented, but his family is wealthy. Only Young Master Cheng is handsome, well-read, and poor. I wonder if he'd be willing to marry into my family?" Little scene: Xie Zhenchuan, heir of the Duke of Xinguo, was handsome and exceptionally clever. His parents had high hopes for him, and his future wife was supposed to be a noble young lady from a family of equal standing. But those requirements kept getting lowered. In the end, the Duke of Xinguo took a broom and scolded him, furious that he was beyond saving. "If you dare marry into her family and take her surname, I'll break your legs!" Theme: Cherish life and love living.
