The proper, dignified chief steward coaxes him to open his mouth for an inspection, using the household rules as an excuse. A fierce bandit climbs over the wall to steal his bride, only to have his face slapped red by Lin Rong's soft little hand. And the poor mute boy crawls under his skirts every day, begging for protection.
Aboard a pleasure boat on the misty waters of Jiangnan, he sits on the richest man's lap drinking milk cheese. A stern-faced thousand-household commander pins him behind a folding screen for a close search, and at night he mistakes a deep-sea merfolk who brings him a luminous pearl for a big carp offering thanks, and pats it on the head.
Every day, Lin Rong is trembling with fear, thinking he has survived the villains only through his brilliant intelligence and superb acting. Once he has stayed for seven days, he plans to dust himself off and run. Little does he know that the men, ruthless and cold-blooded to the outside world, have been completely infatuated with him since the moment they first saw him. Their threats and torment are all just ploys to get kisses, hugs, and his ankles rubbed. When he runs, they all go mad and chase after him!
Theme: No matter what difficulties you face, hold on to your innocence and kindness. In the end, you can melt the ice and find warmth and love.
