“Smiling Madman” x “Noble and Untouchable” (Scratch that)
Mischievous Enchantress Apprentice x Gentle, Clueless Master (✓)
Synopsis 1:
At fifteen, Lu Yinwan fell in love with White Cloud Temple’s Daoist priest Shen Fang. The man was handsome, dignified, and elegant, wielding the famed Nine Gates Sword, renowned throughout the Martial Arts World.
The only problem? He was her master, whom she had formally pledged herself to with three kowtows and nine bows—and he already had a childhood sweetheart, a fiancée of equal standing.
Unable to have him, resentment festered in her heart. On a stormy night, she committed a grave sin, and Shen Fang personally crippled her martial arts before expelling her from the sect.
As she left, battered and bruised, she grinned at him: “Master, do you believe that one day, you’ll fall into my hands?”
Five years later, the Demon Sect sharpened its blades and reignited war, seeking to dominate the Central Plains. Leading the charge was the sect’s Enchantress, conquering all in her path.
The Martial Arts World knew her—beautiful as a flower, venomous as a serpent, cruel and capricious, wanton and depraved. Everyone despised her, gritting their teeth in hatred, yet powerless to stop her.
Just as the righteous factions were retreating in defeat, barely clinging to survival, the Enchantress suddenly sent a letter to Mount Shaohua. She offered a temporary ceasefire—on one condition: Shen Fang had to agree to her demand.
Shen Fang asked her: “Do you still wish to be my disciple?”
“No.” Lu Yinwan smiled.
“I want to keep a Golden Canary. Clip its wings so it can never escape my grasp.”
#As everyone knows, being a master is one of the most dangerous professions in Jinjiang#
Synopsis 2:
“As long as I hold a blade in my hand, there is nothing in this world I cannot do—nothing I dare not do.”
PS:
1. A female-led wuxia story, balancing career and romance 50-50. The “burning hell” phase starts in the early to mid-story.
2. A gentle young man, a madcap young woman—mutual obsession, a match made in heaven. Sweet with a touch of knives, leading to a happy ending.
3. A trivial but persistent note: The original title of this story was The Road is Hard.
PPPPS: Addressing some reader questions:
1. The female lead is not a purely evil character. Readers expecting a full-fledged villainess should turn back now—many have come with high hopes only to leave disappointed (sweat).
2. Nor is she a wholly righteous figure. She can be especially vicious when scornful. If you can’t tolerate morally flawed protagonists, don’t force yourself.
3. The male lead has a fiancée—a good woman—but the female lead is not a homewrecker. At least, not in her logic, nor in mine. She’s not a villainess but a genuine, strong female lead.
4. SC (single couple), but don’t expect too much purity—especially from the female lead. She’s a bit of a rogue.
5. Overflowing drama, thunderous clichés, extreme push-and-pull—only when the burning hell reaches its peak does the HE truly satisfy!
