Great Dragon Gate Inn

Mother said a man couldn't just be handsome. He had to keep the accounts and run the front hall. Only then would he be a peerless catch; Mother said Long Xiaoyi was handsome, obedient, and smooth-talking. He was skilled at bookkeeping, using an abacus, and running a business. Apart from his little habit of bullying young women and being a beast in human skin, he was the perfect son-in-law for her family; Mother said a man riding a white horse wasn't necessarily a prince. He might be Tang Sanzang. Better to marry a scheming stepmother than a monk; Mother said our Dragon Gate Inn didn't keep freeloaders, so if I didn't marry Long Xiaoyi, I'd be thrown out and left to starve; But Mother, oh, Mother, you never told me that Long Xiaoyi wasn't just scheming, he was black-hearted to the core. Before I'd even spent one night in the bridal chamber, he divorced me and sent me off to wait tables. I became a proper cast-off wife, while the smug “Chen Shimei” also seized our family's ancestral inn. Mother, oh, Mother! If you can hear me from beyond the grave, show your spirit and strike that wretched Long Xiaoyi dead with a bolt of lightning! And while you're at it, send your daughter a future husband who rescues poor girls from danger, is handsome and dashing, gentle and considerate, dressed in flowing robes, and tender-hearted beneath his chivalrous exterior! A dying person's last wish, a faithless man, a knight in shining armor: a black-clad hero saving an unlucky serving girl... This story brings together every classic, tacky romance trope. Don't doubt it, Sakura's word is her bond: this time it absolutely isn't a wuxia story, but a full-blown historical romance... As for who the male lead is... you'll find out at the end... Thanks to Sinsora for drawing these little flowers for Sakura: Xiaoyi and Xiaobai. Hehehe~~~ They're gorgeous! It's rare to see the little flower look so serious. Xiaoyi is adorable with that grumpy look, and Xiaobai floats around like a fairy, so beautiful~~ Theme:
