Huo Zhi, the strongest salted fish in the world of cultivation, failed to survive the tribulation, and his soul traveled through the Tang Dynasty. He became the canary raised by Xie Xuanjing, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, in another courtyard.
The original owner was stunningly beautiful, but as humble as dust.
Huo Zhi saw through the situation and immediately chose to settle down: he had no worries about food and clothing, he had enough monthly money, and his boss was a cool, abstinent, handsome guy who spent generously. It's such a fairy errand, if you don't touch the fish, you will be sorry for yourself!
So, while the other rooms were busy vying for favor, Huo Zhi was busy taking beauty sleep, researching new snacks, and developing new ways to play.
At first, the aloof Mr. Xie just regarded her as a delicate decoration.
Later, he discovered that there was something wrong with this "display".
He was talking about business, while she was eating melon seeds and commenting; he was giving jewelry, and she turned around and asked where the pawn shop was; he rarely wanted to be gentle, but she was wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep unconscious, muttering "Don't disturb my cultivation of immortality..."
Xie Xuanjing: "What exactly do you want?"
Huo Zhi (drowsily): "... I want to retire. Master, do you think I will work until I am sixty years old, and the Marquis will take care of me until I die?"
Xie Xuanjing laughed in anger, leaned over her ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll give you a chance to change my wish."
His hot breath brushed against the shell of her ear, and his deep voice was fatally seductive: "For example... How about... Changing me to be your possession?"
One just wants to eat and wait for death, while the other is trying to survive every step of the way, trying to conquer the heart. In this tug-of-war between the top salted fish and the shady powerful, whoever is tempted first will lose.

I really hate talking about the routines used by big bosses in modern companies and talking to others in ancient times. I hate it so much.
