[Two male leads | Protagonist is the pursuer | Metaphysics and ghost hunting | Aloof, gentle Taoist priest × scheming, sweet-talking puppy] Also known as: The Aloof Taoist Priest Was Swept Away by a Scheming Puppy
The chief disciple of Shangqing takes his junior sister and brother down the mountain to quell a disturbance, only to unexpectedly encounter a dazzling young man.
The young man falls for him at first sight and carefully engineers countless “coincidences,” staying by his side day after day, with eyes and heart devoted entirely to him. One is cold, the other warm; one is mystical, the other mortal.
“My name is Lu Jinghong. And you?”
“Lin Jihan.”
“I was thinking about the first time I spoke to you in this teahouse. Back then, you were ‘Taoist Priest Lin.’ Then I was ‘the anonymous letter sender,’ then ‘an outside consultant,’ and then ‘someone who no longer had to stay anonymous.’”
“And now?”
“Now I'm someone who likes you.”
“Lu Jinghong, I don't understand love. But if you're willing to teach me, I'll learn.”
“I won't call you Taoist Priest anymore.”
“What will you call me?”
“Lin Jihan.” He looked up. “Or Jihan.”
He said softly, “As you wish.”
Lu Jinghong leaned a little closer and said, “Then, Jihan.”
“Mm.”
“What are we to each other now?”
“Whatever lesson you've taught me so far, that's what I am to you.
“Then for my first lesson, I'll teach you this: you're mine,” he said. “And I'm yours. We're together.”
“Okay.”
