Friends Before Romance

I don't want to be rich and powerful, and I don't want to worry about making ends meet. I definitely don't want to become lovesick and live or die over a man. I just want a peaceful life, planting flowers and tending plants every day, carrying a birdcage, and occasionally getting together with a few close friends to enjoy flowers and wine, talk to our hearts' content, and travel through mountains and rivers.

Who could have guessed?

Just staying alive was hard enough, yet I was forced to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, swordplay, and martial arts, until I became a major power in the martial world.

A lovesick man? Sorry! That's too much to bear! Can we just be buddies?
