Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Several more challengers came up on stage, but the woman defeated them all with her superb swordsmanship.

Her swordsmanship was sharp yet elegant, with every move full of power and beauty.

The audience in the audience was fascinated by the performance and burst into cheers from time to time.

Lingyan, Chu Xiyao, and Shen Qingchen also watched the competition on the stage intently, filled with admiration for the woman.

Really awesome!

Just when everyone thought the woman was invincible, a young man leaped onto the stage.

He also held a sword, with a graceful posture and handsome face.

The man bowed slightly to the woman and said, "Your martial arts skills are superb, I admire them, and I have come here today to learn from you."

The woman looked at the man, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She nodded and said, "Please enlighten me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man drew his sword, the blade tracing a graceful arc in the air.

He moved swiftly, rushing towards the woman like lightning.

The woman, not to be outdone, brandished her sword and charged forward.

The two swords clashed in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.

Their swordsmanship was extremely superb, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.

The man's swordplay was as fierce as a storm, while the woman's swordplay was as fluid and graceful as flowing water.

On stage, they exchanged blows, their swords flashing and clashing, a spectacle that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.

As time went on, the man gradually gained the upper hand.

His swordsmanship became increasingly fierce, and his moves became increasingly exquisite.

Although the woman fought hard, she gradually showed signs of fatigue.

However, she did not give up and persevered through gritted teeth.

Her eyes were filled with stubbornness and defiance; she would never easily admit defeat.

Just as the woman was in trouble, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and changed her swordsmanship.

She no longer confronted the men directly, but instead adopted guerrilla tactics.

Using her agile movements, she constantly dodged the man's attacks while searching for his weaknesses.

The man was caught off guard by the woman's sudden change and panicked for a moment.

The woman seized the opportunity to retaliate, her sword piercing the man's vitals like a venomous snake.

The man quickly dodged, but was still cut on the arm by the woman's sword.

The man did not back down after being injured; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit even more.

He charged at the woman again, his sword strike even more ferocious than before.

The woman was not afraid and met the man's attack head-on.

The two then engaged in another fierce battle.

This time, they both gave it their all, neither willing to back down an inch.

In the end, after a fierce competition, the man defeated the woman by a narrow margin.

Actually, it was because the woman had already fought many battles that she became exhausted and lost; otherwise, the outcome would have been hard to say.

At this moment, the woman looked at the man, her eyes sparkling with admiration and respect.

She cupped her hands slightly and said, "Young master's martial arts are superb, I admire you. You have won this martial arts contest to choose a husband."

The man returned the greeting and said, "Your swordsmanship is exquisite, young lady. I was just lucky to win. I hope we can spar again in the future."

He looked at the woman, his eyes sparkling with admiration and the joy of meeting a worthy opponent.

They will be rivals, and they will also be husband and wife.

At this moment, both of them were filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, cheering for the exciting competition.

Ling Yan, Chu Xiyao, and Shen Qingchen couldn't help but admire their wonderful performance.

Excellent, excellent, that was fantastic!

The clash between two titans is thrilling and incredibly exciting to watch.

Moreover, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful; they are simply a feast for the eyes.

It was definitely worth the trip!

After the martial arts contest for marriage ended, Lingyan and her two companions, having enjoyed the spectacle, left the place.

In the days that followed, they continued on their journey.

We encountered several robbers along the way, but they were just small fry and were easily dealt with.

They were now almost at the city where Marquis Anyuan, Jiang Muxue's father, was stationed.

That means we're almost at the frontier.

This city is called Li City.

However, the weather turned against them. Just as they were about to reach Licheng, a sudden downpour began.

The rain was so heavy that it seemed to be submerging the entire world.

It was evening, and the heavy rain had made the roads muddy and difficult to travel.

So they had to find a nearby inn to rest and planned to go into town early the next morning.

After checking into their room, the three of them quickly took a shower and lay down on the bed.

But I still couldn't fall asleep peacefully; instead, the rain outside rushed by until midnight.

Then everyone fell into silence.

After the three of them got up and had breakfast in the morning, they left the inn and were surprised to see a rainbow.

As the rain stopped and the sky cleared, a magnificent rainbow quietly stretched across the sky, as if nature had used its most delicate brushstrokes to create a stunning painting.

It resembles a dreamlike arched bridge, with seven colors harmoniously blended together.

Each color is so pure and so vibrant, yet they appear exceptionally harmonious as they complement each other.

Sunlight shone through the thin clouds onto the rainbow, making it shine even brighter.

The surrounding clouds were also tinged with a faint halo of color, as light and beautiful as ever.

The distant mountains appeared even more lush and verdant against the backdrop of the rainbow.

It seems to be a precious gift from nature to mankind, bringing endless beauty and hope to the world with its dazzling and colorful light.

Lingyan looked at the beautiful rainbow and smelled the fresh air around her; she felt better than ever before.

In this good mood, the three of them successfully entered Licheng.

After arriving in Licheng, they found an inn to stay at.

Lingyan then wrote a letter to Jiang Muxue, inviting her to meet at the inn.

Of course, the letter did not reveal her identity, but only said: "When you return to the frontier, will you be able to spread your wings like a roc?"

Below that is written the time and address for the meeting.

After writing it, she asked the innkeeper to help her find someone to deliver the letter.

When it was lunchtime, Jiang Muxue arrived at the inn on time to meet him.

The three of them were already waiting in the room.

Jiang Muxue knocked on the door after arriving at the room.

Lingyan then went to open the door for her with a smile on her face.

When they opened the door, they looked at each other excitedly.

Ling Yan still had that ordinary face, but her beautiful eyes sparkled with starlight.

Looking at Jiang Muxue again, she had completely changed.

She was dressed in a simple black outfit, the fabric clinging tightly to her body, outlining her slender and upright figure.

Without intricate patterns or ornate decorations, the pure black alone is enough to showcase her extraordinary nature.

Her hair was tied up high, without a single strand out of place.

Her tied-up hair resembled a black waterfall, shimmering slightly in the sunlight.

Without the embellishment of pearls or hairpins, this simple hairstyle made her look exceptionally capable and efficient.

Her face was sharply defined, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes sparkled with infinite brilliance.

She wore no accessories, yet she was more eye-catching than those adorned with jewels.

She stood there, like a female warrior, radiating a powerful aura.

She was so unique, so dazzling, that her presence was impossible to ignore.

Radiant with energy and exuding confidence.

His smile was bright and cheerful, and he exuded a carefree and unrestrained spirit.

That's right, this is how she should be!

Author's note: Do some people in the comments section really love men that much? Do they always try to consider things from a man's perspective?

However, this is a female-oriented novel, so the female protagonist's will and thoughts should be prioritized, and all issues should be considered from her perspective. All interests should be put first for her.

But some people always love men so much, always pity and understand the male protagonists, but can't understand the female protagonist. I ask you, this is a female-oriented novel!

Furthermore, most male protagonists in male-oriented novels have multiple wives and concubines, marrying one wife after another, and many treat women as objects or tools. They show such disrespect to women, and you still think this is acceptable?

Because in your stereotypes, you feel that it is normal for men to act this way, and it seems natural to treat women as accessories or appendages, which is why you accept it.

But isn't gender equality a given? Why is it that when it comes to female-oriented novels, the female lead being surrounded by two men is labeled as promiscuous and unfaithful, and subjected to all sorts of criticism and deemed unacceptable? I'm telling you, don't be so hypocritical.

Besides, I already stated in the synopsis that this story is about one woman and multiple men, and that the female lead is a playboy who only cares about sex and not feelings. Before reading the story, everyone knew that this story could not possibly be a 1V1 relationship. So why do people still accuse the female lead of being a womanizer after reading the story? I really don't understand. Didn't everyone already know that before reading the story?

Also, if you don't like this type of movie, then just go away. Since you've accepted it and watched it, why criticize the female lead for being a womanizer?

As for the issue of having children, the article has already explained why the female protagonist doesn't want children, so I won't go into detail here.

What I'm trying to say is, is life only complete when you have children? Is a life without children incomplete? Perhaps there are people who think that way, but the female protagonist doesn't see it as incomplete at all; instead, she sees it as a liberation.

Furthermore, the Qing Dynasty has been gone for so long, shouldn't the female lead be able to choose whether or not to have a child? Why must she have to go against her own will to have one? So what if she doesn't want to!

So why must everyone consider the male protagonists' perspective and what they will do if they have no offspring? Why can't we consider the female protagonist's perspective and why she chooses not to have children?

They even said that the female lead doesn't have children for the male leads, so why do the male leads love her so much?

I said, don't make that statement too absurd.

Do the male protagonists love her only because they want her to have their children?

Obviously not.

Furthermore, if there really is a male protagonist who only likes the female protagonist so that she can carry on his family line, then it's better to be without such a male protagonist.

Because he treats the female lead as nothing more than a tool, would people really like a male lead like that?

So let me reiterate: the female protagonist of this story is a player, she'll be with multiple men, she won't fall in love with any of the male protagonists, it won't be a 1v1 relationship, and she won't have any children for the rest of her life.

So if you can't accept that, you can go elsewhere and watch the 1V1 scenes you want to see.

After all, everyone has different tastes, and we can't force everyone to accept it. It's best to part ways amicably.

The above is only intended for a specific group of readers and does not represent all readers.

So lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the lovely readers who have enjoyed and read this article. Thank you so much! Please continue to enjoy it in the future. Love you all!
