Zhuge Cui fell off a cliff by accident and was saved by a master. The master had only one demand. In return for saving her life, would she agree to do something? She readily said yes.
The master: I want you to become the leader of the martial arts world.
Zhuge Cui: Who, me?
The Five Great Sects have controlled the martial world for over two hundred years. Wouldn't she just be throwing herself to the wolves? Zhuge Cui asked, "Can I do something else?"
The master: Then go kill the six guardians of the Fragrant Pavilion.
Zhuge Cui: That number-one assassin organization in the world?
The master: That's right.
Zhuge Cui: I think I'll try for the position of martial arts alliance leader after all.
And so she left the mountain with her empty bundle. Apart from a clunky iron sword, she didn't have a single coin to her name.
She was short on everything she needed for daily life. Manual labor paid too slowly, while robbing and killing was too wicked. After thinking it over, Zhuge Cui decided to return to her old line of work: tutoring.
From then on, a mysterious master with a passion for teaching appeared in the martial world.
Everyone could say that Zhuge Cui, the leader of the martial arts world, was a true hero.
Her martial arts were peerless, and no hero in the world could defeat her.
She fought evil and upheld justice, destroying the wicked Fragrant Pavilion.
She was selfless, patiently teaching everyone who came to ask for guidance.
Zhuge Cui: I only wanted to become the martial arts alliance leader and make a little money on the side. Those villains all ran into my sword on their own.
1. Feel-good story, episodic, martial arts world, mystery
2. The female lead is the only protagonist
3. Very little romance
Theme: Punish evil, uphold justice, and stay true to yourself.
