Wielding the Sword to Lead the Family, My Childhood Friend Becomes My Live-in Husband

[The author's other novel, "A Necromancer Sets the Cultivation World Straight": a heroine-leveling story, featuring a career-minded workaholic heroine and a loyal, sunny male lead. Around 100,000 words? Ongoing, please add it to your collection.]

[The heroine establishes a household in her own name, and the male lead marries into her family]

Three years had just passed since her father's death, and as soon as the mourning period ended, her relatives hurried to arrange a marriage for Wen Ci, hoping to take over her family fortune.

Wen Ci: What a spectacular show.

Three years ago, when someone tried to seize the position of family head, she had drawn her sword and split the pearwood table in half, frightening everyone into silence.

Only three years had passed, and they had already forgotten their lesson and come to make trouble for her again.

She had long since established a household in her own name and had been head of the family for three years. She had plenty of ways to deal with them.

But just then, her childhood sweetheart, who should have been dead without a trace, suddenly returned from the dead and stormed into her courtyard. With a single slash of his saber, he drove every one of those relatives out.

Her dearest friend! Her best companion from childhood! He had narrowly escaped death, yet the first thing he did was come to her defense!

Wen Ci was deeply moved and was about to give him a bear hug when the young swordsman suddenly dropped to his knees and said, "Miss."

Huh?

Wen Ci was stunned.

Had they really grown so distant?

She was a young lady from an official family, while he was merely a wandering swordsman. If they had not known each other since childhood, no one would ever have imagined the two of them together, including him.

Now that they were old enough to marry, Fang Jing did not want to ruin her reputation, so he could only quietly keep his distance.

He wandered the jianghu, with no place of origin and nowhere to return to. Perhaps one day he would end up dead in the wilderness. Having narrowly survived and clinging to life, the best ending he could imagine for himself was to die for Wen Ci.

He could be her shield, her sword, or the stepping stone that paved her way.

But Wen Ci said, "I don't want your blessing. If you have what it takes, then give me happiness yourself."

"A Necromancer Sets the Cultivation World Straight"

[Loyal younger male lead. A workaholic necromancer heroine and a poor, talkative, sunny sword cultivator male lead.]

Lin En was originally a necromancer from another world. She transmigrated to a cultivation world by accident and became the leader of a dilapidated sect.

This world had no systematic way of controlling the dead, and its methods were extremely crude.

For instance, some ghost cultivators slaughtered an entire city just to forge a magical artifact that could muddle people's minds?

For now, though, the most important thing was to survive.

With the entire sect on the verge of running out of food, Lin En cast a summoning spell

Hanged ghost, go repair the roof.

Drowned ghost, go dig a river channel and plant spirit rice.

Starved ghost, go raid the enemy's granary.

And just like that, their lively little life was underway!

Recently, a weirdo had appeared in the cultivation world. She carried a long staff, but not to hit people with it; instead, she kept muttering some incomprehensible incantations.

It seemed that after her father died and her sect was destroyed, Sect Leader Lin had taken quite a blow and gone mad!

Wait, that bone armor she was wearing, was that... And that pet skeleton snake beside her, and the Ghost Infant King, what were they...?

This is bad! Lin En has turned to the wicked path!

As a result, every demonic cultivator ran faster than the righteous ones.

We're doomed! That necromancer cultivator is here again! Don't come any closer! My soul-summoning banner really doesn't have any ghosts to spare!

Theme: A woman establishing her own household and standing strong on her own.
