Wang Ning got stuck with a pretty girl who wouldn't leave her alone, no matter how hard she tried to shake her off.
The girl took knives and swords for her, slammed into walls for her, ignored everyone else, and doted on Wang Ning endlessly.
Wang Ning heard the girl's declarations of affection, both obvious and subtle, but misunderstood them. So she desperately tried to set the girl up with handsome young men from all over.
In front of one handsome young man after another, she closed her eyes and praised the girl with all her might, making her sound like a celestial maiden, a flower in the mirror.
After tireless effort, she finally succeeded. Young men from far and wide all fell for the flawless girl.
Suitor 1: What kind of gifts do young ladies like?
Wang Ning thought for a moment and said, "How about a lantern? The Lantern Festival is coming up in a few days."
A few days later, she stared pensively at the lantern she'd received, while the girl beside her watched it with a dark expression.
Suitor 2: What if she doesn't like me?
Wang Ning assured him, "She will. You're so handsome, you should have confidence in yourself."
That very night, Wang Ning received a heartfelt love letter, every word sincere and moving. But before she could reply, the girl who'd watched it all with a cold gaze informed her that their sect forbade male and female disciples from getting too close.
