[Historical Romance with a Creative Twist + Sweet Romance + System + Bickering Couple + Lighthearted]
Xu Linghuan wants to reopen the incense shop her mother left her, but no matter how she does the sums, the accounts keep coming up short.
Just then, a romance-experience System drops from the sky. Complete its tasks and earn silver, with the target being Lu Zhaoye, the young heir of a marquis’s manor, who has been her rival since childhood.
[Invite Lu Zhaoye to partner with you. Reward: five taels of silver.]
Xu Linghuan: ...Five taels? I suppose I can put up with that pest.
So she steels herself to invite him along, put incense on him, and fly kites with him, coming up with one excuse more convincing than the last.
What she doesn’t know is that Lu Zhaoye can hear every one of his official tasks loud and clear.
At first, he finds it amusing and deliberately keeps quiet, watching her act in all seriousness.
Later, when she casually mentions wanting dried flowers, he takes a detour to find them for her. When she doesn’t come to the racetrack for several days, the first place he looks after practice is the spot where she used to sit. And when the tasks are slow to appear, he can’t help seeking her out first.
Until one day, Xu Linghuan asks suspiciously, “There’s no task today, so what are you doing here?”
Lu Zhaoye looks at her and drawls,
“Who says I can’t come see you when there’s no task?”
The smell of AI is so strong. I don't know if it's my own problem. Anyway, it sounds like the kind of lines that would be used in an AI short drama. Also, the male and female protagonists seem to have always been bland. Even the emotions are very light, the ambiguity is also very light, and they are not very interesting. More than 80% of it is written by AI. I feel like people simply can't write something with such a heavy flavor of AI.
