Master died, and Wan Kongkong buried his remains. For the first time in seventeen years, she left the valley, and everything outside seemed new to her.
It was the night of the Meng River Lantern Festival.
The bustling streets were packed with people. Dazzling lanterns of every kind glowed all around, and all sorts of people passed by her. One particularly handsome young man caught her attention. She stared at him for a long while.
"Someone just took your jade pendant." She'd watched him notice that it was gone without saying a word, and couldn't help reminding him. But the handsome young man ignored her words. "Miss, you've been staring at me for quite some time." He smiled, holding a folding fan.
Fireworks bursting in the night sky lit up the young man's smiling eyes. At that moment, all she could think was that this young man really was... extremely handsome. A fic pairing someone with the Great Hua Manlou. (Sob, three episodes have to last ten years.)
The author's writing skills are limited. The story follows the original work and mostly sticks to the plot of the two Zhang films, though I may add a little original content.
I hope I can capture the Hua Manlou I imagine without making him too out of character.
It's been 19 years, and I've realized the way not to write characters out of character is to write one scene that holds together and then run.
Premise: crack pairing
