Those Years I Fell in Love with the Chancellor

Ruan Jiu, a renowned bartender in Shangjing, encounters a man in white... a male ghost, on her way home one night. Oh, right, he's a man.

Ruan Jiu: "Who are you?"

Man: "Bai Xiao."

Ruan Jiu: "Why are you wandering around my neighborhood?"

Man: "I don't know my way around."

Ruan Jiu: "What do you do?"

Man: "I think I'm a chancellor."

"?!" Do con artists these days really look this good?

Ruan Jiu: "Where's your home? Do you have any family?"

Man: "I've lost my memory. I don't remember."

The man paused. "I shall stay at your house."

Ruan Jiu: ??????

Fifteen minutes later, having witnessed the lightness and inner strength that she'd only ever read about in novels, the materialist Ruan Jiu brought Bai "Con Artist" Xiao home in a daze.

And so began her romance with the Chancellor.

Before they started dating:

"I want that. Serve it to me."

"Get it yourself."

"?"

"Of course, Chancellor. I'll serve it to you right away."

After they started dating:

"A-Jiu, call me Your Lordship."

"No."

The man narrowed his eyes and made a note in his little book.

That night, Ruan Jiu tearfully begged for mercy: "My lord... A-Jiu was wrong... Please, no more..."
