Save That Young Widow

> A coquettish, fickle little widow x A foul-mouthed, devoted playboy

[Female Lead's Perspective]

Fang Qingping was born with an extremely yin fate, and both her parents were dead. Her uncle's family used the pretense of taking her in to seize her inheritance, then her cousin violated her. When reporting the crime failed, they forced her into marriage to settle the matter privately.

Fang Qingping smiled and agreed.

On her wedding night, she stabbed her cousin, the groom, to death.

Just as she was about to be beheaded, Jiang Shubai saved her. He fed her and taught her martial arts.

At first, Fang Qingping thought Jiang Shubai seemed frivolous and felt cold-hearted. But as they spent more time together, she decided he was actually a decent person.

That is, until she heard Jiang Shubai tell his friend, "She was going to die anyway. Saving my life will count as her good deed."

Fang Qingping treated Jiang Shubai even better after that.

[Male Lead's Perspective]

Jiang Shubai had always seen Fang Qingping only as a tool to cure his poison, since she was a condemned criminal who had murdered her husband.

He vaguely suspected there was more to the story behind Fang Qingping's killing, but refused to find out. He wanted to be able to use her and sacrifice her with a clear conscience.

But she was just a little too good to him.

And she really was rather pitiful.

He longed for her day and night, until obsession turned him into a demon.

So Jiang Shubai began looking for a way to survive without Fang Qingping dying. If there was no way...

But Fang Qingping turned the tables and secretly drained all his powers.

Jiang Shubai narrowly escaped death, drew his sword, and went looking for Fang Qingping to settle the score. Smiling, he said, "Miss Fang, didn't you say you'd bury me beside you one day? How could you dump me in the middle of nowhere? What if I can't find my way back later?"

A duckweed drifting without roots, a wanderer at the ends of the earth, ask no questions

[Reader's Guide]

1. The blurb above is accurate (except for the male lead's mouth). The female lead has been assaulted. The female lead is inexperienced, while the male lead isn't. False affection, love and mutual destruction, happy ending. If that's a trigger for you, don't read. (You can start at Chapter 2.)

2. These are martial artists who fight with swords and blades. Don't imitate them.
