The Only One Without a Secret Identity Is the Female Lead, and She Doesn't Care

Wuji City is one of the poorest mountain towns in the entire state of Qi, and it survives mainly by skimming profits from the annual Treasure Appraisal Fair.

Unfortunately, this time, not only have the nameless heroes and nobodies of the martial world arrived, but so have...

the martial world's greatest demon,

the first prince, foremost in court politics,

the top guard of the state of Qi,

and the martial world's leading organization of assassins.

And, as an added bonus, there's a bizarre murder case.

So.

The old city lord is at home, worried sick.

His eldest son is living it up in the pleasure quarter.

His obedient younger son is out on the street, shouting his lungs out to sell things.

In short: The Lu family is cursed with misfortune.

Fortunately, amidst the chaos, there is Commandery Princess Hanyun.

Whatever her reason for traveling a thousand miles alone,

they need to dig through every inch of earth and sift every grain of sand to find her. Then they can negotiate and solve the crisis at hand.

The old city lord rushes out in a flurry, while the corner of a mouth slowly lifts in the dim light shining through a crack.

It belongs to his eldest son, Lu Yuci.

Su Qianqian came to Wuji City only to find clues about the person who had once saved her life. Instead, she ran into a troublesome character who was playing the fool while hiding his true nature:

He had spent years lazing about,

constantly testing the limits,

and yet somehow never once broken the law in anything he did.

Even his upright, impartial father couldn't find anything to hold against him.

She could believe he was good for nothing for the rest of her life.

But Lu Yuci came sidling up with a grin, offering her a clue and proposing they work together.

Su Qianqian decided to take things one step at a time.

After all, she was a skilled martial artist with no desires to exploit, and she wasn't afraid of his petty schemes.

As time passed and they spent their days together, the truth beneath the playboy's facade began to emerge.

Su Qianqian gradually came to trust him.

But Lu Yuci lost his composure.

If Lu Yuci had had a happy family, he wouldn't have forced himself to become a playboy.

Whether the truth was real or not no longer mattered. All he wanted was to get away from the Lu family and investigate the truth on his own.

The younger sister of Su Huayi, heir to the Tingyun estate, was a breakthrough handed right to him.

He needed to lower her guard and draw her into his plan.

But she cared for nothing, and none of his tricks or schemes worked. He had no idea where to begin.

So Lu Yuci could only play along and try to show her some sincerity.

Things went exactly as he had expected.

Su Qianqian began smiling at him, speaking up for him, worrying about his safety, and refusing to let go of his hand even when their lives were at stake.

Lu Yuci was overjoyed and began plotting his next move.

Then Su Qianqian found herself in danger.

Without a second thought, he rushed out to save her, and the warmth in his heart suddenly turned cold.

Because Lu Yuci realized, helplessly,

that he wasn't afraid his plans would fail. He was afraid she would get hurt.

#Frank, easygoing, and naturally a little clueless (?) x scheming, flirtatious fake playboy (^з^), happy ending;

#A touch of ensemble cast, mystery, and comedy, with a mild groveling arc.

Premise: Everyone has a vulnerability they will defend, and convictions they will hold fast to.
