I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
“No… at this rate, he’s going to hurt himself too.”
Dodging the sword flashing before my eyes, I briefly furrowed my brow.
Of course, it seemed unlikely that a martial artist who’d held a sword since childhood would commit such an absurd mistake—especially not in a mere sparring match, let alone an actual battle. But upon seeing Nangong Seohan’s eyes up close, that thought not only vanished but grew even firmer.
He seemed to have lost half his senses.
What’s wrong with him? Does he even remember this is just sparring?
“…Better end this quickly, whatever it takes.”
Fortunately, I already held the advantage. Moreover, a glaring opening had now appeared—one too obvious to ignore.
Come to think of it, hadn’t someone once called my swordsmanship tyrannical? Since I’d already heard such remarks, using slightly rougher methods shouldn’t be an issue. After all, when someone starts flailing wildly like this, subduing them gently becomes far harder.
Not that I’d actually break his sword or anything…
I seized the upper hand again in positioning and, as Nangong Seohan swung his blade with exaggerated motions, struck his exposed flank with the flat of my sword.
Ordinarily, any martial artist with cultivated inner energy would instinctively defend themselves enough to avoid serious injury from such a blow, so I deliberately tempered my sword energy to compensate for the reduced force.
Thud!
At the dull sound, Nangong Seohan’s body staggered—but he didn’t fall. Though it must have hurt considerably, he still hadn’t dropped his sword, and despite swaying, he remained standing, so the referee didn’t declare the match over.
“In that case…”
I swiftly moved behind him and lightly swept his hamstrings.

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
