Returning with a Boatload of Blossoms

[Ultimate shut-in seme] VS [perverted uke with an overactive libido]

Wu Zhou is an extreme shut-in. He's afraid of talking to people and afraid of being watched. So when he began cultivating, he chose puppet arts, allowing him to lock himself in a dark room for hundreds of years without ever going outside.

Unfortunately, he ran into Hua Chen, a pervert.

Hua Chen is a famous courtesan in the cultivation world. He specializes in dual cultivation and has an overactive libido. He's a pervert, but also proud and particular about mutual consent. He only seduces people and never forces himself on anyone.

At a banquet, he saw someone's puppet cat. That person was so afraid of people that he hid behind a puppet. Hua Chen pressed his lips together. "Interesting."

He thought he could win him over in no time, but suffered a spectacular defeat. Hundreds of years passed, and he still hadn't even seen what Wu Zhou looked like in person.

Hua Chen: I'm determined to get him no matter what :)

Everyone in the cultivation world knows that Hua Chen of Drunken Willow Pavilion has his eye on the new puppet master. The guy avoids him at every opportunity, but Hua Chen still goes out of his way to tease him every time. Even when Wu Zhou takes out a bird puppet, Hua Chen wants to kiss its beak.

Of course Wu Zhou refuses to give in, because Hua Chen's behavior is far too perverted. After failing again and again, Hua Chen decides to change his approach.

First, he tries changing his style, from gentle to domineering to sweet and delicate. Surely one of those will be what A Zhou likes?

After all that fails, Hua Chen thinks: Could it be... the wrong gender?

So the people of the cultivation world see Hua Chen put his hair up in a woman's style and dress in gorgeous women's robes.

Everyone: "..."

You're... really going that far?

Hua Chen smiles with pursed lips. "You wouldn't understand."

That's what makes it exciting, isn't it?

[Reading Guide]

1. Strong uke, weak seme. In bed, Zhou Zhou is the seme, but he usually seems like the uke.

2. Both have a past: one used to drift from flower to flower and never gave his heart, while the other went through a painful experience.

3. Zhou Zhou is genuinely afraid of people, so for about 80% of the story, Hua Hua can only flirt with puppets.
