No Public Displays of Affection in the Jianghu (Women's Kingdom)

In Suzhou, there is a bookshop called Mozhu, and a certain Mr. Mo. Mr. Mo built the bookshop. His name is Mo Jing, courtesy name Zifei. She spends her days minding the shop and reading, and when she has some free time, she goes out for a stroll. Whenever someone in Suzhou needs help with a difficult problem, she never turns them away. So everyone says Mr. Mo is learned and indifferent to fame and fortune, a model scholar. Everyone, that is, except Mr. Mo’s close friend and mischievous tormentor, Yan Qisheng. Yan Qisheng has always scoffed at Mr. Mo’s indifference. “Mo Zifei, once you find someone, let’s see if you can still act so calm!” Yan Qisheng said with certainty. Mr. Mo only smiled enigmatically. But when that day really came, Mr. Mo could no longer sit still. What did being calm matter? Winning her husband was what counted! Blurb Two: “You, a little brat, think you can take me on?” A broad-shouldered woman approached Su Luo, her face twisted with menace. Su Luo blinked innocently. “I wouldn’t dare, but I have a wife.” Mo Jing appeared soundlessly, smiling as she asked, “What, do you have a problem with my husband?” First round: Su Luo wins! “Young master, this much fabric must cost a pretty penny.” The cloth shop owner eyed Su Luo suspiciously. “It’s fine. My wife has money.” Su Luo didn’t care in the slightest. A Jing had said that a wife should pay for her husband. Second round: Su Luo wins! At the martial arts tournament, the sect leader was so furious she nearly spat blood. “In broad daylight, under the clear blue sky, you’re being so shamelessly affectionate! This is simply... simply...” Su Luo sat in Mo Jing’s arms, looking perfectly innocent. “We’re legally married.” Mo Jing found his lips amid all his fidgeting and fed him a grape. “Ignore her. She’s old and can’t handle public displays of affection.” Third round: Mo Jing and Su Luo win by a landslide! This story is set in an imaginary world, so don’t expect historical accuracy.
