[Free-Spirited, Uninhibited Show-Off Bottom x Bright, Refined Noble Gentleman Top]
Xiao Yi, a direct disciple of Mount Tianmu, follows his master, the "Demon King," down the mountain to attend a birthday celebration. Unexpectedly, he falls headfirst into a series of traps laid by his sworn enemy, uncovering a secret that has been hidden for twenty years.
Mei Shu, the eldest disciple of the Mei Sect's leader, is known as "the man of every woman's dreams." He is also attending the celebration, and is a top candidate to become a son-in-law in his enemy's household. But Xiao Yi gets there first, and through a twist of fate, catches Mei Shu's eye. Completely unaware, Xiao Yi even tries to set Mei Shu up with other people, playing matchmaker with reckless abandon.
Though they once seemed worlds apart, old and new grievances begin to intertwine their fates and bring them into resonance. They evade plots, slay their enemies, trade fighting fish and brew wine in Jiangnan, and barter tea and horses on the frontier... As they battle the forces of darkness, they live a thrilling life, sword in hand, far from home.
Master: Don't be rude to Young Master Mei.
Xiao Yi: I only shoved a mouthful of flaky pastry into his mouth, then got into a fight with him in the street. That's all.
Master: Young Master Mei is a candidate to marry into the Weisheng family.
Xiao Yi: I can help other families' daughters arrange meetings and deliver invitations for one tael of silver each. I'm no matchmaker, so there's no guarantee it'll work.
Others: Young Master Mei is so formidable, no one dares offend him.
Xiao Yi: It's not like I meant to stick close to him. It's just that he's too forward. How am I supposed to resist?
Mei Shu: I don't like sweet food.
Xiao Yi: That's fine. I do. I'll teach you how to help me steal honey.
* One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other, happy ending.
Theme: Cultivate oneself, manage one's family, and bring peace to the world.
