[The entire novel has been revised repeatedly and differs greatly from pirated copies. Thank you for supporting the official version.] - Radiant general's daughter x gentle young crown prince - - Marriage before love x hero has a secret crush x simmering tension - 1. Jiang Kui, the young lady of the General's Residence, is nicknamed Xiaoman. By day, she poses as a frail beauty at home. By night, she slaughters her way through the martial world. Then one day, a marriage contract betroths her to the frail Crown Prince Xie Wuyang, whose position in the Eastern Palace is precarious. On their wedding night, as her husband lifts her red veil, she holds a sword to him and says with a laugh, "Touch me and you're dead." Her young husband closes his eyes and lies flat. "Do as you please, my lady." She doesn't notice that his ears are turning red beneath his tousled hair. 2. Crown Prince Xie Kang of the Eastern Palace, courtesy name Wuyang. Everyone says he is so frail he won't live to see his coming-of-age ceremony. Few know that he is also a middleman who comes and goes without a trace in the martial world. And no one knows that the woman he loves is a renowned heroine of the martial world. The day after the wedding, a young eunuch reports to him that the Crown Princess climbed over the palace wall in the middle of the night to meet someone at the bookshop beneath the East Corner Tower. Xie merely waves a hand and smiles. That night, at the bookshop beneath the East Corner Tower, the middleman famous throughout the martial world props his chin on his hand behind a bamboo screen and cautiously asks the heroine across from him, "What do you think... Xie Kang is like?" 3. Jiang Kui never imagined that one day her husband, who couldn't even truss a chicken, would cross a battlefield of thousands to reach her. He lifts her blood-soaked body, takes hold of her spear, and stands firm amid a storm of blades and swords. Then he leans close to her ear and whispers, "My lady, it's me." It's you, she thinks hazily. You were the one who met me at Qujiang, the one who smiled at me in the bookshop, the one who drank the wedding wine with me, and the one who held me in the snow. Across all the worlds of the universe, the one who came for me was you. It was always you. Little scene: During the spring hunt, the Crown Prince vaults onto his horse, draws his bow, and nocks an arrow. "You can shoot, too?" The Crown Princess is astonished. "Tell me, what else can you do that I don't know about?" The Crown Prince looks at her intently and smiles. "I can do this, too." To everyone's astonishment, he scoops the Crown Princess into his arms and carries her toward the tent. The curtain falls. He leans down with a low laugh. "Would my lady like to try what I can do?"

Please add it to your collection!] Qingheng, a junior sister of the Penglai Sect, has always hated her senior brother, Luo Ziwan. She's the only one in the sect who knows that this prodigy, who seems pure as snow, noble, and immaculate, is actually a smiling, shameless, ruthless black-hearted schemer who kills without batting an eye. He's also her sworn enemy and nemesis, always at odds with her. They have a small fight every three days and a major one every five. Qingheng vows bitterly that one day she will take down her nemesis. Until one day, while training outside the mountain, they are both struck by a love gu. They are forced to get intimate at night, or they will both die. At first, they only kiss. Then their clothes grow disheveled and their breaths mingle. And after that... they do everything. * These nemeses clash during the day and clash at night, rolling around as they fight, unable to break away from each other. Eventually, the love gu is finally removed. On the day it is cured, Qingheng uses Luo Ziwan and tosses him aside. She dusts off her hands and turns to leave. ...But she doesn't get far. The hateful residual poison of the love gu flares up one last time, forcing Qingheng to stop halfway and suppress the remaining poison. Her face flushed, her breathing ragged, she closes her eyes and gasps softly. Just then, a young man slips up behind her in the darkness, grabs her wrist, and locks her tightly in his arms. His cool lips brush her ear. His pure, snow-cold scent draws near, bewitching her as he murmurs: "Junior sister, say you want me."
