The Crown Prince and the Curator

-What can an athlete do after changing careers?

-Make cheung fun!

After an injury forces Liu Siying to quit, he refuses to become the "heir prince who goes home to inherit the family business" everyone talks about. He runs a stall outside campus in the mornings and works at a roadside diner in the evenings.

Heaven takes pity on him and sends a "Lin Daiyu" falling from the sky.

Lin Lang is fair-skinned, gorgeous, and long-legged. From then on, Liu Siying stops chasing medals and starts chasing men.

He hears that a mouse got into Lin Lang's home? Here, take this giant mouse trap. It'll catch the cat and the mouse!

He hears Lin Lang's landlord is throwing his weight around and discriminating against people from out of town? Go to hell! Who's afraid of trading insults in the local dialect? Wait, the landlord is the uncle who used to hold me when I was little. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding~

Lin Lang wants to try some local specialties?

How about a whole roast suckling pig!

How about crispy roast goose, freshly cooked over lychee wood!

How about soup made with dried tangerine peel that's been treasured by my dad for thirty years!

Next year, when we visit the family graves at Qingming, we'll go up the mountain to dig up five-fingered radish and pick chicken-poop vine to make rice cakes!

The co-owner of the barbershop teases Lin Lang: "The heir prince has his eye on you. One and done, huh~ Go wash your butt and get ready!"

Lin Lang: "Why do I have to wash my butt?"

Co-owner: "?? Have you ever heard of a crown princess topping the heir prince?"

Lin Lang: "What crown princess? I'm the one in charge!"

"I don't really understand what it means to like someone. The girlfriends I've dated all said they liked me, but they broke up with me pretty quickly, too. I guess I'm just not someone who's worth liking," Lin Lang says. "But Siying, [I want to date you]."

1. Lin Lang x Liu Siying: sweet-faced, gentle barber top x warmhearted, chatty breakfast-stall heir bottom

2. The bottom pursues the top. He's not groveling, just a little slow.

3. They've both dated women.

4. A healing slice-of-life story, sweet and free of melodrama.
