A Dragon and Phoenix Mix-Up

Pei Yun rose to the position of Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard at a young age thanks to his arrogance, ruthlessness, and cruelty, earning himself countless enemies. Then he was framed, and his entire family was wiped out. Only he crawled out of hell alive.

To survive, he let down his hair, disguised himself as a frail woman, and collapsed in front of the horse of Xia Ziyu, "the capital's number-one wastrel." The young wastrel, naturally, "couldn't bear to see a beauty suffer" and rescued him.

At first, he only intended to use the young wastrel until he recovered, then kill him.

Later, he decided having a young wastrel as cover wasn't such a bad idea.

Later still, he decided being in a relationship with a man might not be so bad, as long as he was the one on top.

Then, to his utter surprise, Pei Yun discovered that the young wastrel was having her period...

As the Duke of England's only "legitimate son," Xia Ziyu had always conscientiously played the role of "the capital's number-one wastrel."

That is, until she rescued a dying "frail young woman." To give the "young woman" somewhere to stay, she put her up at another residence. And, on the principle of seeing a good deed through, she went to look after her personally every day.

As time went by, rumors spread throughout the capital that she was keeping an extraordinarily beautiful mistress. When Princess Chen Xiang, who was infatuated with Xia Ziyu, heard about it, she threatened to go tear the mistress to pieces. Terrified, Xia Ziyu sent the woman away in the middle of the night.

To make Princess Chen Xiang give up, the Duke of England announced that his young lord had seen through the ways of the world and decided to become a lay Buddhist, living from then on alongside the Buddha with only a lamp for company.

Three years later, the Pei family was exonerated, and Pei Yun was reinstated as Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The first thing he did after returning was pin a certain "fake monk," who had been fishing in troubled waters, against a solemn Buddha statue. His rough fingers gripped the person's soft, delicate chin as he sneered, "I'm afraid you've taken the wrong path, Master. If you truly wish to become a nun, you should go to a convent, not a temple!"

Xia Ziyu was so frightened she could only recite the Buddha's name. "...D-don't be hasty, benefactor. Let's talk this over."

But Pei Yun whispered against her ear, "Fine. Then let's talk about how you seduced me and abandoned me."

The blurb may be revised, but the general story will remain the same.
