His wife still had her heart set on divorce and on becoming sworn brothers with him. Yu Yi decided he could not stay silent any longer... Under the moonlight, inside their tent, Yu Yi coaxed, “Wife, would you touch me some more?” Lu Menyue swallowed and slowly lifted her other hand. She placed it on top of Yu Yi's head and gently rubbed it, unconsciously murmuring, “Good boy!” She thought, A big dog this obedient could kill a person! Yu Yi remained silent... Later, Lu Menyue cursed her unreliable System. Whenever Yu Yi appeared, it glitched, giving her no spoilers at all. The System thought to itself: With all the ways he flirts, I really can't bring myself to spoil anything. The general's inner thoughts are so elaborate, and his moves so shameless, that no one can match him. The general is renowned far and wide, but who could have guessed he was such a lovesick fool?

A thriving ensemble cast, with younger-generation couples woven into the story. Their names come from the verse: “People follow the riverbank toward the village, while Yu Yi sails back to Lu Men. The moonlight at Lu Men reveals the misty trees, and suddenly one reaches Pang Gong's hidden retreat.” Coming soon: The Court Minister and Her Male Favorite In the 173rd year of the Xuanfeng era, Court Minister Xun Shuwen was sentenced to the execution of his entire family. Only the second son of the Xun family, Xun Heyuan, escaped, and he vanished without a trace. The following year, Princess Yu Ziru took office as Court Minister. She established the Guabo Institute and the Hall of Reflections, recruited martial monks far and wide, and reopened old cases to clear the innocent and redress the people's grievances. She certainly recruited martial monks in droves, but in the end she kept only one, who went everywhere with her. A suspected male favorite. Xie Shiyue, the youngest daughter of the Xie family, whispered, “I knew she just wanted to recruit a male favorite. You should have seen that monk named Eryu. He was devastatingly handsome...” After the Hall of Reflections cleared the Xun family, the emperor personally bestowed the title Marquis Mingzheng on the Xun family's second son. Gifts poured in, and Xun Heyuan became the talk of the town before he had even shown himself. On the third day of the third month, Marquis Mingzheng made a grand entrance into the capital, but headed straight to the princess's residence with betrothal gifts. Xie Shiyue blocked the entrance to the princess's residence. “The princess keeps a monk as her male favorite. He's not good enough for you.” The second son of the Xun family removed his bamboo hat and pointed to his freshly shaved head. “Are you talking about me?” Xie Shiyue was dumbfounded. “Y-You're not the second son of the Xun family. You're... you're the male favorite the princess keeps by her side.” She had admired the second son of the Xun family since childhood, and he hadn't looked like this. Xun Heyuan countered, “Haven't you heard that boys change a lot as they grow up?” Xie Shiyue protested in a small voice, “You can't be him!” The princess stepped out of the gate. Seeing Xun Heyuan's head shining so brightly it was almost blinding, she said with displeasure, “Xun Eryu, who told you to shave off the hair you'd worked so hard to grow?” “Huh?” Xun Heyuan looked innocent. “Ziru, if I hadn't shaved it all off, wouldn't people gossip about you?” - When he was young, Xun Eryu was unruly and rebellious. His father sent him to Buxian Temple to copy sutras, where Princess Yu Ziru was assigned to keep an eye on him. Yu Ziru had grown up at Buxian Temple. She was refined and elegant, and always conducted herself with decorum. To expose the princess's hypocritical, stuffy facade, Xun Eryu constantly pestered her. He failed every time and got punished even more severely. One day, Xun Eryu watched the princess copying sutras and brazenly declared, “Ziru, if you don't like a young man like me, then surely you must like the bald monks in the temple.” Yu Ziru looked up and suddenly smiled, radiant as a crabapple blossom in the sun. “A true Buddha's disciple should have the face of a Buddha, something to admire from afar but not to touch. If Second Master Xun shaved his head, I'd be very interested.” Xun Eryu gaped in shock, his face turning scarlet. Then two streams of blood dripped from his nose onto the paper... He would always remember that it was the third day of the third month, and the crabapple blossoms behind Yu Ziru were in various shades of pink. A breeze passed, making them sway and flutter, all of them laughing at him... Their names come from the verse: “The sound of water comes from far away down the ravine; the moon above is naturally at ease.” Theme: Set one's heart upon the world, secure the people's future, carry on the wisdom of the sages, and bring peace to all generations!
