Wife, Why Are We Pointing Swords at Each Other?

To outsiders, Xun Yuejian, a painter in Pingkang Ward, is a skilled artist, kind to everyone, and well-liked by her neighbors.

But at night, she can kill with a single stroke, as easily as chopping vegetables, and has never known defeat.

In her seventeen years, the only time things went wrong was when she let her guard down and helped a sick physician.

He was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a gentle manner. Everything about him, from his looks to his personality, was exactly to Xun Yuejian's taste. He was also just the perfect shield to help her turn down the heir to the Hedong Duke's household, who was pursuing her.

After they married, her physician husband proved a capable housekeeper, while she worked hard out in the world. Their lives got better and better.

Until one moonless, windy night, she unexpectedly ran into the Moon Guard outside a small building.

Her husband, who could barely lift a shoulder or carry a handbasket, was dressed in black, his eyes filled with a cold, murderous intent she'd never seen before.

It was only after the man flicked a flying dart at her with a whoosh that she truly began to regret everything.

This husband is no good! I don't want him anymore!

A handsome new physician has moved into Pingkang Ward. It's a pity he's so frail that even a little work seems enough to make him faint. He's clearly not marriage material.

But the young lady next door, Xun, is taking advantage of the favor she did him, demanding that he marry her in return.

Lady Xun wept as she complained about how the heir to the Hedong Duke's household had abused his power to force an innocent woman into marriage.

Looking at her tear-reddened eyes, Li Ernian somehow found himself nodding.

After they married, he had no choice but to run his shop and see patients by day, keep house, and diligently work for the Moon Guard at night.

On one night patrol, he finally landed a dart on the nemesis who had repeatedly sabotaged the Moon Guard's operations.

When the man's veil fell away, Li Ernian's eyes widened.

Can someone tell him what to do after injuring his own wife?
