Shocking! Is the Miaojiang Saint Really This Tsundere?

A scheming, obsessive girl vs. a goofy, chuunibyou Miao youth

Jiang Li was rescued from the beast-fighting arena by a young man from Miaojiang. She had planned to use his help to return to the Kingdom of Cangwu, gather her forces, and avenge the Jiang family. She never expected to fall helplessly in love with this slightly unhinged young man.

Early Mo Qingchen:

Jiang Li vomited blood.

Mo Qingchen stared at the blood on the ground and said with amusement, “You can really take a beating.”

Jiang Li braided his hair.

Mo Qingchen poisoned her with a Gu and said coolly, “A He, you've overstepped.”

The two of them finished dealing with the assassins.

“It is late. This servant will not disturb the Holy Son's rest.” She cupped her fists, turned, and started toward the door.

“Stop.”

Jiang Li gritted her teeth and halted mid-step.

“Do you want me to share a room with these corpses?”

“Then what does the Holy Son want?”

“I'll stay in your room.”

Jiang Li turned around and said through gritted teeth, “I'm eighteen.” Did he not know that men and women should keep their distance?

Mo Qingchen froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. “What are you thinking, little bean sprout? I'm just borrowing a place to stay. Borrowing a place to stay, understand?”

Later Mo Qingchen:

“Do you want the medicine, or me?”

“You said the eyes are the hardest part of a person to hide. If you want to understand someone, you have to see through their eyes. But A He, I've never been able to see through yours... What should I do...?”

I, Mo Qingchen, make this solemn prayer: First, may Jiang Li enjoy every good fortune in its proper time. Second, may Jiang Li be safe and sound year after year. Third, may Jiang Li and I remain entwined through life and death, from this world to the next.

At first, he acts like he's too good for anyone. Later, he turns into a sniveling crybaby.
