[Romance-focused version] Gou Yidao was found and raised by a dog, so her surname was Gou. She also carried a knife on her back all day, so her given name was Yidao. Other people killed for money. She had children for money. Gou Yidao had lived freely for twenty-five years. Who would've thought her landlady was the notorious killer Black Bamboo Pole? Before dying, the woman insisted on giving Gou Yidao one hundred thousand taels in silver notes. There was only one condition: find someone and have a child. Without a second thought, Gou Yidao promised, "I'll even have the child take your surname!" But Gou Yidao had no household registration papers, so not a single matchmaker would deal with her. Immortal Wang read her fortune, and Gou Yidao obediently took her compass and headed east to find the great match fate had chosen for her. The compass pointed to the young master of the county clerk's household. The young master blushed in secret. Gou Yidao said Immortal Wang had told her that the man she borrowed seed from would be handsome, debonair, and a paragon of men. She politely turned him down. The compass pointed to an old man with a chrysanthemum-shaped face. Gou Yidao: Carry him off. Next. The compass pointed to Chu Xiangshuai gave his folding fan a gentle wave, looking every bit the handsome, debonair charmer. Gou Yidao: Use the love potion! Xiangshuai: I'll have to politely decline. * #After he eats his words# Chu Xiangshuai sighed helplessly at Gou Yidao, who was wandering around with a love potion, looking for a man. "Why not consider me?" Gou Yidao shook her head. "No. You're too experienced. I wouldn't be able to control myself." [Plot-focused version] Every village in the southern lands had a Daughter Tower. If a family couldn't afford to raise a baby girl, they would abandon her in the tower. The tower was said to provide for the mountain god, and it also fed countless stray dogs. In the dead of winter, the dogs would kill the puppies in their pack and throw them at the village entrance. It was an unspoken understanding between people and dogs. Gou Yidao had been abandoned in the tower, then nursed by a stray mother dog who had lost her own puppies. One winter, the old yellow dog ended up in a pot of dog-meat stew, and Gou Yidao was left to scrape by on her own. Later, she met a kind person who told her to trust the authorities. When she was a little older, she met another kind person who introduced her to the martial world. But only after truly stepping into that world did Gou Yidao realize: To hell with the imperial court and the martial arts world! What this world needed was someone who would stand up for what's right! One day, with a blade in hand, I'll cut down every evildoer under heaven! * No one had ever seen Gou Yidao draw her blade. When she killed, she always needed only one stroke. Content warnings: 1. The ending or extras include pregnancy and childbirth. 2.
