[Humorous, easygoing, play-the-pig-to-eat-the-tiger seme x Seemingly aloof but actually tsundere beauty uke]
Free-spirited rogue cultivator seme x Sword Pavilion's young master uke
*
Sheng Manxin is a rogue cultivator born with a free spirit.
Unfortunately, this rogue cultivator isn't as carefree as he appears.
In fact, he has a secret childhood betrothal to Hu Liuyun, the Sword Pavilion's young master, who became famous at a young age.
The wedding date draws closer and closer.
Sheng Manxin is about to lose it. I really don't like him!
Why did my mother arrange this marriage for me? Does she want our family line to die out?
To protect his chastity and freedom, the man promptly comes up with an excuse to flee the wedding.
"I heard there was a vicious ghost attack in Mengjiang Town. I'll go investigate first..."
And then he makes himself scarce.
*
Hu Liuyun, the other party in the childhood betrothal, is also extremely unhappy about the news that he's about to get married.
A sword technique flashes past. With a crash, a century-old tree falls.
"I don't need a cultivation partner."
But the betrothal was arranged by their parents, and even Hu Liuyun, a heaven-blessed prodigy, finds it hard to defy them.
"Exorcising demons and defending the righteous is the Sword Pavilion's duty. I've heard that a vicious ghost has been terrorizing Mengjiang Town. I have a responsibility to protect the peace there."
He also makes an excuse to flee the wedding.
*
In Mengjiang Town.
Sheng Manxin, who came to investigate, disguises himself as a sickly beggar to lure the evil spirit out.
Ghostly shadows crowd the dark alley. The shadow following Sheng Manxin silently reaches out a hand.
Before Sheng Manxin can strike,
a sword technique suddenly descends from the sky.
Sheng Manxin frowns instinctively. Who is this, ruining my plan?
The next second, a handsome young man in purple steps in front of him.
Sheng Manxin's gaze instinctively falls on the sword at the man's side, and the corner of his mouth twitches.
Seriously, I even dressed up as a beggar. How did this guy still find me?!
Is he going to drag me back to get married?
With his sword behind his back, the spirited Hu Liuyun stands tall, his dark hair stirred by the breeze. He narrows his eyes at the evil spirit before him. "I won't let you prey on the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled!"
The old, weak, sick, and disabled man standing behind Hu Liuyun: ...
Good news: He didn't recognize me.
Bad news: Now I'm old, weak, sick, and disabled.
1. Set in a cultivation world.
