(Second male lead rises to the top + sweet romance with a little angst + light wuxia + palace romance)
“An aloof, gentle fake monk × a lovely, graceful beauty.” During the Lantern Festival, she goes to see the lanterns in the bustling streets, only to be abducted by villains. After a series of twists and turns, she meets a calm and gentle young monk, and gradually falls for him. She thinks they are both in love, but an unexpected turn of events forces them apart. When they meet again, the former monk has married someone else. Heartbroken, she ventures into the martial world, where she happens upon a handsome, domineering young bandit chief. From then on... their tangled love and resentment... leave everyone sighing with emotion.
Male lead: I can't help it either! She's my wife. Whether I tricked her or deceived her, she's still my rightful woman. We should have been brought together ages ago. If I weren't respecting her, would I have to be the most miserable emperor around? What's wrong with a little kissing? What's wrong with it? If you won't give me hope, are you going to give the other men out there a chance? Unless I give up hope myself, no one can stop the author from giving my wife hope!
Second male lead: His Majesty is absolutely right. After all, the one who laughs last is the male lead.
Female lead: I have nothing to say. Refer to the few things I said to His Majesty.
