Thank you for your support. *Bows* Lin Fengjun and Chen Bingzheng were like a sparrow and a koi, foxtail grass and a jade wine vessel... In short, they had nothing to do with each other. For martial artists, there were only a couple of ways to make a living through legitimate means: escorting caravans and guarding estates, or performing on the street. Established escort businesses were called escort agencies; independent escorts were called freelance escorts. Lin Fengjun’s family were freelance escorts, and she had learned the trade from her father, making her a female escort herself. Her ideal man should be a powerful hero, built like her senior fellow disciple, tall and imposing, with a handsome face. That was what a real man should be. Chen Bingzheng came from an illustrious family and was elegant and refined. He was a famous scholar in Jiangnan. He passed the palace examination, received his first official post, and rode proudly beneath the spring breeze... Only to fall into a muddy ditch one day and be beaten by the emperor forty times, left with barely a breath in him. To bring him good fortune, the Chen family hastily found him a bride. That bride was Lin Fengjun. When Chen Bingzheng could finally get out of bed, he shook his head and sighed, “I’ve never met such a vulgar woman.” At last, one day, this vulgar woman placed a divorce agreement in front of him. “My lord, the person you love isn’t me, and the person I love isn’t you.” Chen Bingzheng looked as if he’d been struck by lightning. After a long pause, he said, “My lady, you’re wrong. At least half of what you said is wrong.” Author’s notes: 1. Both characters have flaws, but they will grow along the way. 2.
