SQUEE! I finally got a copy of Da Ren Wu in my hands.
Yay, wuxia!

What's not to love? Angst! Evil assassins! Damaged hero and fun heroine! Happy ending! Political intrigue! Finding true love in an arranged marriage! Nic Tse! Did I mention angst?
I love the whole premise, of the spoiled and spunky heroine who has read too many wuxia stories and dreams of meeting up her wuxia idol but is instead betrothed/wed to a studious guy she despised since childhood. Only...surprise! Her husband might be better than the shadowy hero of her wuxia readings...
SQUEE.
Also, the first ten minutes are LOLtastic. I love the spoiled but awesome heroine.
