As the junior sister of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Weisheng Yi has been troubled lately.
It all started when
Her senior brothers, who used to rise with the chickens and practice their swordsmanship until they forgot to eat or sleep, suddenly changed overnight. They stopped leaving their rooms, started putting on makeup and dressing in bright colors, and kept muttering as if possessed: “Cute, cute...”
Her senior sisters were busy with the sect’s affairs. If this went on, nobody would be left to play with her.
After asking around, Weisheng Yi learned that Chancellor Shen, a favorite of the imperial family, had recently married the emperor’s most beloved young prince.
The two had been brought together, and the prince, who had been secretly in love for years, had finally seen his wish fulfilled. Overjoyed, he wrote a timeless bestseller inspired by the love story of himself and his wife:
The Domineering Chancellor Loves Me Madly: Where Can My Adorable Husband Run?
The mood in Congdu set the tone for all of Tianyuan. Soon, men throughout the realm were studying what “cute” meant, why it was “cute,” and how to be “cute.”
What exactly was this “cute” thing? Was it really so important that her senior brothers would forget their treasured swords, which they had always treated like their wives and never let out of their sight?
Weisheng Yi, a cultivation maniac who had held a sword since the age of three and was now obsessed with training in hidden weapons and mechanisms, could not make head or tail of it.
She went to ask her senior brothers
They had been chanting about it like a mantra, but when she asked, they all hemmed and hawed, unable to explain a thing.
She went to ask her senior sisters
At the mention of “cute,” they all looked helpless and told her, without exception, to focus on the right things.
Women had a natural talent for swordsmanship. She shouldn’t waste her time pondering nonsense like men did.
If she mastered her sword, she could have any cute husband she wanted.
But she really wanted to figure out what was going on!
Hearing that the young son of the city’s richest family, the Sun family, was renowned for being adorable, Weisheng Yi went to see for herself.
Su Jue was born of an illicit affair between the lord of Shenzhou City and a wandering physician. He endured constant bullying in the manor as a child, and things only improved once he grew into his looks.
But with his naturally red hair and green eyes, he was still considered strange and monstrous. His mother kept him confined day after day, forbidding him from going outside.
So he would tilt his head up and gaze at the towering crabapple tree in the courtyard, tracing the branches that stretched beyond the walls with his eyes and imagining what lay on the other side. He did this every day.
Until one ordinary noon, when something extraordinary appeared in the tree.
Su Jue had assumed he was simply taking advantage of Weisheng Yi’s soft heart, using her as a stepping stone to escape an arranged marriage and the Su household.
Then why couldn’t he stop himself from feeling jealous and resentful when he saw her rub her head against her senior brother’s palm, bicker playfully with her childhood friend, walk side by side with her sworn enemy, or save the real Young Master Sun during a monster horde? He wished he could take their places.
She was his wife. How could anyone else stand by her side?
When he heard that she had fallen off a cliff during a battle with the demon clan and vanished without a trace, he was shaken to the core and stumbled after her
He no longer wanted freedom.
Now that he had married her, he would brave anything to be with her, even the ends of the earth.
⚠️ Please note before reading:
1. One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending.
2. The female lead is adored by everyone, and many supporting characters will have one-sided feelings for her.
3. The male lead is half-human, half-demon (a rabbit demon). Later on, separation anxiety leads to a false-pregnancy plotline. This is not a gender-bender story! It is definitely a straight romance, and the characters’ anatomy is completely normal. I just think it would be a shame not to give a rabbit a false pregnancy.
4. Things may get a little melodramatic later on, such as a story where he waits for over a decade like a statue, only for her to return with amnesia, remembering everyone except him. But even if there’s angst, it’s the male lead who suffers, not the female lead, so don’t worry.
Theme: Self-respect, confidence, independence, and strength
