【A seemingly gentle and smooth-talking Deputy Prime Minister who’s actually glib and relentless in pursuing his moon (the little fox, 0) x A seemingly warm and tender diplomat who’s actually a ruthless killer (the moon, 1)】
Someone said to the little fox, “Little fox, your bright moon hangs high in the sky, but it doesn’t shine on you alone.”
The little fox gave a wicked smile and ran his tongue over his back teeth. “It doesn’t shine on me alone? Then I’ll keep chasing it until I knock the moon down and make it shine on me alone!”
Dai Rongyu, the envoy of the State of Guo, had just returned with a group of diplomatic envoys when the newly appointed Deputy Prime Minister came hurrying over, dressed in flashy clothes and jingling with ornaments.
Dai Rongyu: “Who are you? Do I know you?”
Shen Yunchen chuckled awkwardly. “Lord Dai, there’s no need to be so formal. We’ll get to know each other soon enough, won’t we?”
A few days later:
Dai Rongyu thought, “This guy’s a bit of a nuisance. He follows me everywhere.”
Dai Rongyu was detained while on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi. Not one person at court dared to submit a memorial on his behalf. Even the emperor wanted to turn a blind eye. It was only one lost man; hardly worth making a big fuss over.
The little fox walked straight up and tapped the emperor’s desk. Each word firm and clear, he said, “I believe that if Your Majesty does nothing, then I’ll go and fight them myself.”
As expected, you have to save your own wife.
(After they get together:)
No matter what he’s doing, the little fox loves sticking close to his moon:
Dai Rongyu was reading at his desk when the little fox leaned over. “Dai An’an, what are you reading?”
Dai Rongyu went back to the General’s residence alone to have tea with his adoptive father. The little fox barged in, looking aggrieved, and tugged at his sleeve. “Look at me, will you?”
Dai Rongyu sighed. “You follow me everywhere. It’s impossible not to see you.”
