[Naive, sheltered noblewoman vs. unrestrained, scheming bandit]
A moment of passing light, a thousand years of history. Some people die in the primordial chaos, while others rise from the ruins.
[One]:
Zhou Ling was born into a prominent family, the most beautiful lotus in the watery lands of eastern Yue. Her parents loved her, her family was harmonious, and she was engaged to the capital's most admired young gentleman. Her future seemed as peaceful and carefree as a swallow nesting beneath the eaves.
But then bandits ambushed the wedding procession and kidnapped her bridal sedan. She lifted the red curtain and saw a bandit with a scarred face, holding a curved saber. He laughed wildly and wickedly. "This mountain wasn't opened by me, and this tree wasn't planted by me. If you want to pass through, leave the bride behind!"
???
Is this lunatic for real?!
[Two]:
Xiao Yu was a "vicious and ruthless" bandit, yet he had red lips, white teeth, and the looks of a refined gentleman. He was so lacking in intimidation that even his fellow bandits laughed at him. After learning his lesson the hard way, he began disguising himself as a scar-faced man.
One bright, clear night, just after he had bathed, he collided head-on with the bride he'd kidnapped the day before, who had tried to escape up the mountain.
His true face revealed, he narrowed his eyes and gripped the curved saber at his waist.
But the bride snapped, "This lousy bandit stronghold kidnaps men too?!" Then she grabbed his sleeve and declared boldly, "Come on, I'll take you with me!"
