The Beauty Gave Me a Golden-Engraved Saber

[Top's POV] [The blurb may change; the final version takes precedence]

On the third day of the third lunar month, the martial world was thrown into turmoil.

Chixiao, the greatest of the ancient divine weapons, appeared in an ancient city in the northern desert. The righteous martial artists and the Holy Son of the demonic sect all headed to the city to claim the divine sword, while the imperial court secretly dispatched agents from the Six Doors.

The martial world was plunged into chaos.

You Suyu, the most intelligent and beautiful agent of the Six Doors, was notorious in the martial world as a lackey of the imperial court. Yet on his way to the northern desert, he was accosted by the badly wounded, amnesiac Holy Son of the demonic sect.

You Suyu had planned to run him through with his sword.

But when he saw the face of the young man lying in a pool of blood, a plan suddenly came to him.

His jade-like fingertips had barely brushed the boy's hair when the youth's eyes snapped open. His fierce, wolfish black eyes fixed on You Suyu, and his voice came out hoarse. "Who are you...?"

You Suyu slowly helped the amnesiac boy to his feet and dusted him off. Then he coughed twice, touched the delicate bun he had pinned up to disguise himself as a woman on the road, and gazed at him tenderly.

"Husband, how could you forget me again?"

Yan Qi had a frail, sickly wife.

She was stunningly beautiful and gentle, and she didn't look down on him for his memory loss. She even gave him her family heirloom sword and remained steadfastly by his side as he searched for the divine weapon.

With his memories gone, Yan Qi fell in love with his wife again without a second thought. He did her laundry and cooked for her, took her out to pick fruit, and brewed medicine for her...

He loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, never to be parted.

Then a fire burned their house to the ground, and his lost memories suddenly flooded back. His frail wife stood before the collapsed cavern, dressed in white men's clothes. Looking down at him, he smiled and ran a blade straight through him.

Pain tore a gaping hole in his heart, and blood stained his wife's clothes. Before losing consciousness, Yan Qi heard him say, "Demonic sect scum deserve to be killed by everyone. What makes you think you're worthy of talking about love?"

So Yan Qi slaughtered everyone in the demonic sect, then crawled back from hell once more.

He crawled to You Suyu's feet, looked up, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Wife... can I love you now?"

He still loved him and wanted to live a long life by his side, without regrets.

[Top's POV] [Mid-level martial arts setting]

1. A frail, long-haired beauty, so clever he seems demonic, top x a fierce, wolfish, highly skilled cool guy, bottom

2. Both are young, and they're each other's first love. Their misunderstanding will be cleared up, and their romance should be quite sweet.

3. The author's not very smart, so I'll do my best with the plot, but I can't promise there won't be contrived stupidity. If you mind plot holes, don't read!

4. My writing is bad and it's melodramatic as hell. The top isn't weak, though he's frail. The characters aren't perfect. If you don't like it, run!
