A Couple of Melons from the Jianghu

[Please add this to your collection~*]

When Li Buwan first entered the martial world, she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

She settled in Bagua Town, pricking up her ears at the slightest hint of trouble.

In the martial world, information is the most precious commodity.

She had set out to find out about something that could bring the dead back to life.

But all it took was one listen, and somehow she found herself with a fiance.

Li Buwan: ...?

She secretly observed this "fiance." He was solemn, proper, and aloof, with an air of lofty righteousness. He was also incredibly fussy.

Li Buwan found him tiresome.

But her "fiance" had access to all kinds of information. In other words, he was the biggest source of juicy gossip around.

Li Buwan gritted her teeth. Fine, fiance it is, as long as she could get him to talk.

Luo Guyu came from a distinguished family. He was a graceful young gentleman who loved music and books and preferred a quiet life.

Unfortunately, he had a knack for hearing all kinds of gossip, which left a man of such refined tastes completely at a loss.

With no other choice, he ventured into the world and came to Bagua Town.

Though the little town was uncomfortable in every way, no Tianquan spring water, no rosewood bed, and even the roof tiles were nothing but lumps of mud, he had to stay there.

But the first person he found waiting for him was his legendary fiancee.

She was uninhibited, too good at attracting attention, and always getting into fights and covered in blood.

Luo Guyu was at a loss.

And yet she seemed to like him, following him wherever he went and chattering nonstop.

His usually calm and principled heart was sent through eighteen twists and turns by all her chatter:

Polite and elegant → keep smiling → don't come any closer → I've had enough → get lost → never mind → what can I do? → ...Maybe I should try spoiling her?

But then his fiancee came to him with a perfectly serious farewell: "Thanks, but I can't marry a weirdo."

Luo Guyu: ...

Let the world end already. Hurry up.

Reader's guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first love, happy ending.

2. The romance develops alongside the mysteries in each arc. If you don't like the mysteries driving the romance and just want to skip ahead to the romantic push and pull, start at Chapter 85, "Westward Mountain." (Note: Starting there will spoil major plot points. Proceed with caution.)

Theme: I walk my own path, and the winds stir great waves across the martial world.
