[Wuxia Crossover] Every Villain Owes Me a Bounty

Xie Wanzhi, the top-ranked gunslinger on the bounty hunter list. Her job completion rate is one hundred percent, but her rate of collecting final payments is... pitifully low. The only clients with good credit are the Yihua Palace and the Divine Water Palace. Gritting her teeth, she wrote down the names of the employers who still owed her money, in no particular order:

The Green Garment Tower (loaded with money, but its master is stingy)

The Southern Prince's Manor (Even a prince's manor owes money?)

The Money Gang (Who came up with that name!)

The Ghost Villa (Even ghosts have to pay their debts!)

And Bat Island, Ten-Thousand-Horse Hall, Six-and-a-Half Hall...

She decided to collect her debts her own way, before they went under.

Later, the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower, the Shandong Divine Spear Society, the Yihua Palace, the Divine Constabulary, and others all came courting her.

As for the wandering swordsman who kept showing up along her mission routes, claiming he had “just happened to be passing by”; the swordsman she'd worked with; the tower master who kept trying to drag her back to Bianjing; and the boss of some mysterious organization, or so she suspected...

Xie Wanzhi: I'm out of here. I'm leaving first.

Someone once asked Xie Wanzhi, “Of all the weapons in the world, why choose the spear? Is it because the spear is the king of weapons?”

Xie Wanzhi drained a jug of wine and romance, then counted on her fingers with a helpless look. “Have you ever counted how many famous swordsmen and sabermen there are in the martial world? If I didn't use a spear, how could I ever make the bounty hunter rankings?”

These days, choosing the right path matters more than strength.

But sometimes she still dreams of the lonely smoke beyond Yumen Pass, the autumn geese beneath endless winds, and the boundless snowstorms beyond the frontier... She remembers the weapons in her hands, and the names they truly bear.

[A Wuxia Crossover, with an altered timeline.]

[Wuxia Crossover] The Character I Made Is Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic

Yuan Buci didn't know who her parents were. Just as she was about to be snapped up by tigers and wolves in the wilderness, a boy like a wolf saved her.

Later, she learned swordsmanship too. To grow stronger, she traveled far and wide, apprenticing herself to renowned masters and training hard.

The martial world has no shortage of swordsmen, and every one of them has their own quirks. Among the swordsmen she knew, some loved peanuts, some wore only white, some killed for money, some killed for others, some worked for the government, some were wanted by the government, and some stayed home and shut themselves away... Their character types were all different, a complete jumble.

But getting stronger wasn't enough. Being one of a kind was what mattered!

Yuan Buci stayed up all night crafting her new character backstory:

“Cough, my father, who abandoned his wife and child, was once a major figure in the martial world. Then he went mad while practicing his martial arts, strayed further and further down the wrong path, joined a corrupt eunuch, and eventually met a gruesome end.”

“I'm nothing like him. My sword sings only for all living things.”

What a perfect, exquisite character! What a tragic past!

A genius swordsman making a defiant start to life: that's the proper way to do it!

Yuan Buci eagerly went around promoting her new character to all her swordsman friends. The peanut-loving swordsman laughed at her, the white-clad swordsman was baffled, the flying swordsman fell silent, the constable swordsman grew suspicious, and the Yihua Palace swordsman gave her a cold look...

Then one day, the weathered martial artist who had joined the eunuch Cai appeared before her. “Daughter, I'm your father.” Yuan Buci: “I'm your father! Your real father!” (The fun-loving fool who never thought her fake backstory would come true collapsed on the spot.)

To stay in character, she decided to do the righteous thing and kill her own father, then follow a path of ruthless swordsmanship. This time, it was her swordsman friends who couldn't sit still...

*A Wuxia Crossover, a sweet, lighthearted change of pace, and a cast of chaotic goofballs. The protagonist is a gender-swapped version of Yuan Cilang, Yuan Shisanxian's child who went missing as a child. A few other characters from the original works will also be gender-swapped. She starts out as a child and will grow up. The male lead is undecided; there may be several, and he is also a swordsman.

Theme: Like wildfire, life cannot be stamped out. When spring winds blow, it grows again.
