"A Lovesick Sidekick from the Start!" Blurb:
[Powerhouse, cheerful sunflower heroine x lovesick male lead who's a vicious dog in public and a loyal puppy in private]
With the imperial family backing her, Xiao Qiu lived a carefree life for eighteen years.
She set off to study under the great families, but on the way, someone ambushed her at the Cao Residence. That night, she couldn't use her cultivation at all. Fortunately, a spoiled young master from the residence rescued her.
The first thing he said when he saw her was:
"Having no one around you who wants to harm you... is a great stroke of luck."
Xiao Qiu: ??? (Holding her wounds, she thought: Do you want to listen to what you're saying?)
Facing this young nobleman she'd never met before,
he added:
"Actually, you and I were childhood sweethearts."
-
Xiao Qiu had no idea why her life had grown more and more "unlucky" ever since she met Cao Yue, the spoiled young master.
That day, Cao Yue had seemed to save her by showing off, but he couldn't do a single martial arts move...
Yet he insisted on acting like her sidekick, following her as she traveled far and wide to study.
But this streak of "bad luck" was also what sent the two of them through one twist after another, up and down, again and again.
And the two of them really did seem to be just as Cao Xiangyun had said, a perfect pair of "plum blossoms and bamboo horses."
-
Everyone says that Cao Yue, the second young master of the Cao family, is a lunatic.
He spends all day lounging around, proclaiming that the world is an illusion.
Yet he cares deeply for Xiao Qiu, the female disciple he has "never met."
Everyone else laughs at him.
Even Xiao Qiu doesn't recognize him.
Only he knows that what he says is the absolute truth.
Because the person he has waited years for has finally returned.
Xiao Qiu x Cao Yue
The heroine is highly skilled in martial arts. She seems cheerful and sunny, but in truth she cares about the greater good and is exceptionally talented.
x
The male lead is useless at martial arts. He seems like a possessive, spoiled, vicious dog, but in truth he's a devoted, lovesick puppy who protects his wife.

PS:
① This is a fantasy story with an ancient setting, but it isn't traditional xianxia cultivation. It has a romantic emotional arc and a profound worldview. Thank you for your support!
② Both leads are virgins, and it is a one-on-one romance.
③ Important characters all have courtesy names, so pay attention! I'll point them out in the author's notes!
④ "The Sacrifice" is currently updating. This novel features the same cast and the complete worldbuilding, so add it to your collection!

This book is still not long, and it may be updated daily as August comes to an end [Pigeon] (refer to the list~) The next book will be very long, and every book from now on will be very long [Pigeon] (compared to the short one I am now) Please collect the next copy of "Liaoji"~[Applause]
Hehe, if you stab him once, why can't he stab him back twice as hard? If it's darker, I'll give up my martial arts and lock him up, hehehehehehehehehe
Nervous? Still don't want the second young master to be the head of the Cao family.
When a person is scared when sleeping, he needs another person to be there, but if that person only breathes, he will be very quiet and scary (tears). Ps: The male protagonist probably wanted to get closer to the female protagonist, hahahaha, but in the end, a grown man accompanied him
Hahaha, I went looking for chickens. This is really no cover.
I believe our second son's time is several sticks of incense (blushing)
Our heroine has unconsciously begun to enjoy playing with the second young master (aunt laughs)
A good article is worth savoring carefully. I read the first ten chapters twice. The author writes it really well. My biggest feeling after reading this is: secret! Xiao Qiu has a secret, Cao Yue also has a secret. Except for the protagonist, almost everyone has a secret. The author really captured my heart. I really want to know what everyone's secrets are!!! Each character's personality is very distinct. The heroine Xiao Qiu is calm and self-possessed. Cao Yue seems to be crazy (dog head) but actually has a rift in his heart. He should be carrying a very heavy thing (I guess). I think the emotional line is also very good. The male protagonist unconditionally protects the female protagonist, and the female protagonist goes from being wary at the beginning to gradually trusting her later!!! I declare that Xiao Cao and Qiu Qiu are the best match!!!
The eldest son must have been driven crazy. Young Master Li is also a pawn played by the powerful. I hope they can climb to the highest place, high enough for them to breathe freely.
I hope my uncle doesn't want the heroine's life... (Tears)
