After joining the Hehuan Sect, Tang Jiao studied hard and diligently, learning a pile of theoretical knowledge without ever getting the chance to put it into practice.
At last, she came of age. Her senior sister took her to a gathering of the various sects and pointed to the crowd of men, telling her to pick one.
Among them sat a sword cultivator with clear, handsome features, dressed in light robes. He looked so elegant and carefree, like an immortal banished from the heavens. Tang Jiao's heart fluttered. She pretended to stumble into his arms, swiftly hung a sachet on his sword hilt, apologized with tears in her eyes, blushed at the ears, and walked away, looking back three times.
The sword cultivator took the hint. That very night, he followed the room embroidered on the sachet and came to find her.
They chatted happily, their affection deepened, and they fell into perfect sync. Tang Jiao had just reached for his belt when the sword cultivator's arm slipped around her waist.
As they whispered close together, Tang Jiao found a moment to softly ask his name and which sect he belonged to.
The sword cultivator kissed the corner of her lips and answered hoarsely, “Xu Chenyun, Hehuan Sect.”
Tang Jiao sobered up.
Tang Jiao pushed him away.
Xu Chenyun: ...?
Tang Jiao hurriedly put on her outer robe, sat up straight, and composed herself.
Then she gave an awkward laugh and said, “Haha, what a coincidence. You're my senior brother.”
She had been in the Hehuan Sect for only three or four years and had never met this senior brother, who had been in seclusion for ten years.
As everyone knows, the Hehuan Sect forbids its disciples from getting together.
Since they practice the same cultivation method, they can't cultivate together.
Even though each was the other's ideal type, Tang Jiao and Xu Chenyun decided to let each other go.
But when you're in the same sect, sometimes you can't avoid seeing each other just because you don't want to.
For instance:
Tang Jiao had just started chatting up an alchemist when Xu Chenyun leaned close to her ear and advised her earnestly, “Junior sister, this alchemist looks a little dim, and his cultivation isn't all that impressive. Find someone else.”
Or:
Xu Chenyun invited a female cultivator from another sword sect to travel with him. Tang Jiao folded her arms and laughed softly at him. “Senior brother, if that's the type you like, wouldn't I be even better?”
After a while, neither of them had found a suitable partner.
With no other choice, Tang Jiao and Xu Chenyun had a serious discussion and decided to try being together first.
But... can someone please tell her how disciples of the Hehuan Sect are supposed to cultivate together?
Junior sister x Senior brother
- The heroine seems sweet and innocent, while the hero seems refined and noble, so both of them are fooled.
- Not a conventional power fantasy about a strong female lead. The heroine is a sweet girl with a hidden dark side.
- The cultivation method involves stepping on your own feet to climb to heaven. Don't overthink it.
- One-on-one romance.
[Third revision, completed-story notes (2023-7-24)]:
1. Both leads are virgins. To be precise, the heroine is a virgin and the hero is not when they meet; they are both virgins when they get together.
2. There isn't much romance. Both leads are career-driven. The story focuses on the heroine's leveling-up journey and the ensemble cast.
3. The leads meet early but get together late (after chapter 100). The second and third male leads have unrequited feelings for the heroine.
4. The heroine and the second male lead have a relationship of mutual benefit during a period when she isn't with the hero.
5. The hero's ex never appears. There are no vicious love rivals or women competing for the hero.
6. Instead of trusting spoiler warnings from commenters with zero subscriptions, I hope you'll trust readers with 100 subscriptions and the author.
7. Reasonable feedback about the plot is welcome, but I won't reply to warnings that make things up. Please mind your words.
The following is the blurb for Will the Sword Sect's Young Master Break Off His Engagement Today?:
Chen Jinnian lived with her grandfather until his death, when she learned that he had been the head of the Sword Sect.
The Sword Sect brought her back and gave her a register, saying it was an heirloom left to her by the sect leader.
Chen Jinnian opened it and found the names of the martial arts alliance leader, young masters from prominent families, doctors from Medicine Valley, and peerless assassins. The details were exhaustive: shoulder width, waist size, whether they wielded a left- or right-handed sword, likes, dislikes... It was all written down in meticulous detail.
Chen Jinnian: ?
The steward calmly explained, “When the sect leader was young, he traveled far and wide and helped many people. You could say that the entire martial world owed him a favor. As he lay on his deathbed, he sent a letter to each of them. In it, he said that the only thing he couldn't leave behind was his granddaughter. If they still remembered their debt to him, they should have their children and grandchildren come propose to her.”
Chen Jinnian's hands trembled. “You mean...”
The steward nodded. “Everyone in the register is your fiance, Young Mistress.”
-
All the powerful and talented men in the martial world are Chen Jinnian's fiances.
Chen Jinnian, who is severely afraid of men, says: “Want this blessing? You can have it!”
-
Chen Jinnian is the granddaughter of the Sword Sect's leader and its young mistress. She spent ten years in the mountains and rarely interacted with anyone. Forget getting married: even sharing a room with an unfamiliar man makes her feel uncomfortable all over, with her scalp tingling and her palms sweating.
The first thing she does after returning to the Sword Sect is figure out how to break off her engagements to this whole group of fiances!
And she can't let anyone discover that she's afraid of men.
-
Breaking off the engagements proves to be a winding road, but at least her cousin is there to give her advice.
Her cousin is said to be the most beautiful woman under heaven. Gentle and considerate, she takes Chen Jinnian out to fly kites in spring, lets her rest her head on her lap while she fans her in summer, buys her new clothes in autumn, and prepares a warm brazier for her in winter. Chen Jinnian is so grateful that she decides to warm her cousin's bed for her
Wait, Cousin, why did your breasts fall off?
-Jiang Zhaoshan (cousin) x Chen Jinnian, one-on-one
The following is the blurb for Raising Fish After the Natural Disaster:
Wen Wan is a gentle, unremarkable college student.
She is currently helping her parents look after her younger brother, Wen Qingqing, commuting between home and campus.
Until one day...
The ice caps melted, and an ancient virus swept across the globe.
People's bodies mutated. Some awakened abilities, while others became walking corpses.
Wen Wan was the third kind of person: an ordinary human.
The global evolution of life left her behind.
That was the bad news.
The good news was that her younger brother awakened an S-rank ability.
The bad news was that her brother had just turned six. He threw tantrums without toys and cried when he couldn't find his sister.
The good news was that, besides her brother, there was another S-rank ability user by Wen Wan's side.
The bad news was that it was the crucian carp she had bought the day before the disaster began, planning to stew it...
After awakening its ability, the crucian carp successfully transformed its body into human form. It had a nearly perfect physique, eight-pack abs, and smooth, defined lines. Unlike a human, its body was light gray, like some kind of beautiful mineral
But only its body had become human-shaped.
Its head was still a fish head.
That's right: not a mermaid, but a fish-man.
The fish-man's intelligence was nearly zero. It was incredibly simple-minded, not much better than Wen Qingqing.
If Wen Wan scolded it, it would even drop little pearls in distress, one by one, each crystal clear.
Other people's apocalypse: fighting zombies, battling for territory, stockpiling supplies
Wen Wan's apocalypse: looking after a child and raising a fish
Other people: striving for a bright future for Blue Star
Wen Wan: looking after a child and raising a fish
She thought sadly
Let's set a modest goal. First, I'll teach these two S-rank ability users, whom the whole world is fighting over, to take care of themselves!
- It's a real nonhuman romance. The fish-man will never turn into a mermaid (sad).
Theme: Have the courage to try new things.
Put a big cat on the ground and it will shed fur - it will make you want to pick it up - a perpetual motion device that doubles the shedding hhhh
- Is this a farewell kiss?
- No, it's because I feel helpless.
Great…thank you…
Oh my god, this ending, hey, did I think too much, 3?
Isn't this 3... P?
Okay, okay, the three of you living a prosperous life is more important than anything else.
Cat! I'm crazy
OK, it's limited to Xiao Xu!
Wuwuwu, I prefer illusion. Illusion can't affect the future, but you can't be too strict about cultivation, right?
Ahhh it's over! I can't bear to part with it. It's been a long time since I've gone from a protagonist to a supporting role and then to a supporting role with few roles. I'm so addicted to every couple of CPs in the whole story. If you help me up, I can still read another hundred chapters.
I was so drunk, both young lovers were so drunk qaq At first I thought that Senior Sister Jiang was so smart, Liu would be trapped, but later I thought it was Jiang Cai who was trapped hahaha
