After the Noble Lady Cultivated the Demonic Path

(This is more or less an unconventional take on ancient times experiencing a spiritual qi revival.)

I, Lu Shijiu Niang, am a refined young lady, delicate and incapable of looking after myself.

Every day, all I do is play the zither, embroider, write, and fish.

I've worked diligently and conscientiously for years to be the perfect refined young lady. I haven't dared slack off or make a single mistake.

Now I'm almost fifteen, and the elders in my family urge me to marry every day. My sisters are also doing their utmost to find good matches, competing for attention and scheming against one another, with one plot after another.

Naturally, I can't be an exception when I'm right in the middle of it all.

After all, I know marriage is my only chance to change my fate.

So I began my great fishing endeavor.

Until one day, I had a dream.

When I woke up, a whole lot of fish had swum into my pond and were begging me to catch them, looking as if they were on the verge of tears.

But... please, could you get this straight? I want to get married, but I don't want to be your bodyguard!

Who marries a wife just to have her be their bodyguard?

What can I do?

I'm desperate, too!

After all, I'm just a refined young lady who can't look after herself.

What? You say get married?

What marriage? Marry whom?

I've escaped the inner-family political schemes. Why would I go back and get married?

There are more than enough men who cry and beg to marry me!

Too bad I think the only good thing about them is their heads. The only use for them is to chop them off and use them as decorations.

Women who cultivate demonic arts are just that capricious.

Cultivation is the best.
