Qi Mulan is the third daughter of the Qi family, having been engaged three times and had each engagement called off.
Frail and delicate, weak and untrained in martial arts, she was sent to a powerful clan that prized martial skill.
It was like a little white rabbit wandering into a wolf's den.
The man she was forced to marry was Jing Nanze, a notorious playboy from a prominent clan.
His father had seventeen sons, and he was the eleventh, an unremarkable position that was neither here nor there.
When two people like them married, only one word came to mind: easy prey.
But later, someone was skinned alive and had their tendons torn out.
Only then did everyone realize the eleventh young master's courtyard was a den of tigers and wolves.
She said, "I'm gravely ill and may not live long. I won't be able to stay by your side."
He said, "As long as I'm here, let's see who in the underworld dares take you."
Only by holding hands can we find beauty in this world, drink in the mortal realm, and love one another forever.
