Chen Jinnian lived with her grandfather, dependent on him for everything. Only after he died did she learn he had been the leader of the Sword Sect.
The Sword Sect brought her back and gave her a register, saying it was an heirloom her grandfather had left for her.
Chen Jinnian opened it to find the names of the martial arts alliance leader, the young masters of prominent families, physicians from the Medicine Valley, and peerless assassins. The details were astonishing: shoulder width, waist measurement, whether they wielded a sword left-handed or right-handed, their likes and dislikes... It was all written down in meticulous detail.
Chen Jinnian: ?
The steward explained without the slightest embarrassment, "When the sect leader was young, he traveled far and wide and helped many people. You could say the whole martial world owed him a favor. Near the end of his life, he sent each of them a letter. He wrote that the only person he couldn't stop worrying about in this world was his granddaughter. If they still remembered their debt to him, they should have their children come ask for her hand in marriage."
Chen Jinnian's hands trembled. "You mean..."
The steward nodded. "Everyone on the register is one of your, young mistress, betrothed."
-
Every young martial artist of a similar age in the entire martial world was Chen Jinnian's betrothed.
Chen Jinnian, who was seriously afraid of men, had this to say: "What a blessing. Want it? You can have it!"
-
As the Sword Sect leader's granddaughter, Chen Jinnian had spent ten years living in the mountains, rarely mixing with other people. Forget getting married: even being alone in a room with an unfamiliar man made her feel uncomfortable all over, her scalp tingle, and her palms sweat.
The first thing she did after returning to the Sword Sect was figure out how to break off her engagements with all these men!
And she couldn't let anyone find out she was afraid of men.
-
Breaking off the engagements proved a winding road, but luckily her cousin was there to help her come up with ideas.
The most beautiful woman under heaven, her cousin, was gentle and considerate. In spring, she took her kite-flying; in summer, she let Chen Jinnian rest her head on her lap and fanned her; in autumn, she bought her new clothes; in winter, she prepared a warm brazier for her. Chen Jinnian was so grateful she decided to warm her cousin's bed for her
Wait, Cousin, why did your breasts fall off?
