[One-on-one romance + sweet and doting + clear-headed heroine + love-struck hero + two cunning, equally strong leads + mutual flirting]
Lin Yuxi loves handsome men, but has never fallen for one. So she never expected that she, the dignified princess of the Yue Kingdom, would… would fall in love with a… monk!
Thankfully, he’s a fake monk.
Mo Ying had already grown cold and disillusioned, but the young woman barged into his world again, all flustered and clumsy.
“Master Liaowu, I have something I don’t understand. Would you enlighten me?”
“Master, Buddha won’t listen to me. Look at me instead, won’t you?”
“Little monk, do you think I’m pretty?”
She pressed closer at every step, while he retreated again and again.
Then, eventually, he stopped retreating.
After Lin Yuxi was backed into a corner and ended up aching all over for the Nth time, she regretted it.
“Master Liaowu, you’re a monk!”
“I haven’t been one for a long time. Now, I’m yours!”
“Master, monks are supposed to be free of worldly desires!”
“That’s all right.”
She runs, he chases.
Mo Ying: My girl likes to play, so I’ll play along!
Everyone else: Sure, Your Reverence! What are you playing at, risking your life?!
