[A smiling, knife-wielding proprietress x a scruffy swordsman of the martial world]
The proprietress of Shuowang Tower greets guests from every direction with a smile and welcomes customers from far and wide. But everyone who travels the martial world knows that neither the smiling proprietress nor the young women who work at the inn are people to mess with.
The proprietress smiles because she looks down on you and doesn't consider you human.
But if the proprietress stops smiling, you're done for.
Yet Shuowang Tower had been open in Minzhou for ten years, and nobody had ever seen the proprietress lose her temper. So people who came later said that a group of women scraping by in a place full of all kinds of people were bound to put on a show.
Until one day, a shabby, down-at-heel man came into the inn.
The proprietress stopped smiling and reached under the counter, pulling out two cold, silver-patterned crescent blades.
The shabby man raised his head. Beneath his unkempt hair and grime, his eyes were weathered by years of hardship. “Ten years of snow, a thousand mountains crossed. A Miao, I've come to marry you.”

“Ye Shuo'an, if you die, I'll stay here and keep watch over you for the rest of my life.”
“If you aren't dead, I'll kill you with my own hands.”
