His own divine attendant had pinned him to the bed for the better part of an incense stick's burn.

He could clearly feel something changing in the person on top of him.

After a long moment of shock, his anger surged.

Furious and mortified, he asked, "Have you harbored improper thoughts about me?"

The man lost his respectful expression, his eyes darkening as he replied, "I always have. You just never noticed."

"Insolence!"

"Yes."

"You dare say yes?"

"Yes."

From now on, allow me to remain insolent forever."

One-on-one, happy ending, sweet, almost no angst.

An irritable, arrogant, slow-witted bottom x a scheming, quiet, taciturn, alluring top.

Original title: Blue Robe Embracing the Moon

[First Life: Republican Era +]

Blurb 1:

When she was young, she was moved by a fleeting glimpse of the person in the woods, and engraved the words "May I grow old in tenderness in this life" deep in her heart.

No matter how many years passed, where she was, or whether the world around her remained the same, she could pour all the tenderness she had into the world.

Born into a time of turmoil, the world was cruel to them. But the warmth of an embrace in the cold was enough to carry them through the rest of their lives, and into the next.

Blurb 2:

In the early years of the Republican Era, feudal thought was gradually fading away, but many people in society had yet to move on from the past. New ideas swept through the populace, challenging the old social order. The two heroines, Jiang Yue and Xu Qingyi, were both struggling to survive in this transitional era.

Jiang Yue was the eldest daughter of a distinguished old family. Naive and lively, she loved boldly and hated fiercely, and held great expectations for everything in life. Unfortunately, she was born in a time of turmoil, when even simple happiness was beyond her grasp.

Xu Qingyi, meanwhile, presented herself as a man. She was quiet and withdrawn, numb and indifferent to the world. Though she shone onstage, her very soul was hidden in boundless darkness. She never hoped for anything from life, and had never once smiled from the heart.

But after meeting Jiang Yue, she gradually became captivated by everything about her, yearning like someone who had dwelt in darkness for ages and finally glimpsed the light. Little by little, she began to change.

Who would have thought that a dirty, insignificant speck of dust and the sun high above the heavens, though worlds apart, could be so strangely suited to each other?

[Second Life: Modern Era]

Blurb 1:

Song Mian: "Village girl, bring me my coat."

Lu Wanqiao doesn't move: "Go to hell with that village girl crap."

Song Mian raises an eyebrow: "Do you still want this month's salary?"

Lu Wanqiao throws off the covers: "Wake up. You've been blacklisted, and I haven't been paid in months."

Song Mian: "Then what do we do? I can't survive on my own."

Lu Wanqiao: "No idea. Get lost."

Song Mian: "Then how about I offer myself to you?"

Lu Wanqiao: "I'm straight, okay?"

Song Mian looks aggrieved: "But you weren't in your past life."

Lu Wanqiao picks up the phone: "Hello? Mental hospital? My boss has gone crazy again."

Song Mian accepts her fate, thinking, Since you chased me for a lifetime in our previous life, I'll chase you in this one...

Blurb 2:

When she crossed the Bridge of Helplessness, Granny Meng happened to be kicked into the River of Forgetfulness, ladle and all. So she hurried off to be reborn. She thought she would meet the person she'd loved all her life right away, but unexpectedly, twenty years went by without them crossing paths.

Her beautiful voice brought her eight years of fame. While hiring an assistant one day, she accidentally kissed a girl in glasses.

She'd finally found her, but the girl who drank Granny Meng's soup had turned out to be straight! What could she do? She'd just have to turn her...
