The hero of a wuxia novel is usually a formidable martial artist, carefree and unrestrained, roaming the jianghu with countless confidantes and friends. Yes, that would be Yan Wuji.
The hero of a palace-intrigue novel is usually distinguished and brilliant, capable of being ruthless, composed, steady, or commanding. He knows when to yield and when to act, rules over three rivers, six domains, and three thousand beauties in his harem, and holds the power of life and death over all under heaven. As for his identity, he's usually an emperor. Yes, that would be Zhou Xuan.
One day, a palace-intrigue novel and a wuxia novel quietly merged, and Zhou Xuan met Yan Wuji.
Zhou Xuan x Yan Wuji: A brilliant mind who just can't resist throwing a punch gong x a skilled fighter who prefers to win people over with reason gong
PS: They switch roles!
PS: I want to practice writing wuxia, though it might not quite have the right feel. Still, let me give it a try...
PPS: A medium-length story that may be a little silly and doesn't necessarily make sense.
Theme: Never give up when faced with despair.
