Chen Zui Doesn't Know the Way Home

The Jiangnan region is suffering a devastating snowstorm. The Xiaoyao Gang may be poor, but they can’t just stand by.

By day, Gang Leader Chen Zuibai runs a soup kitchen. By night, masked, he becomes the chivalrous thief Moonlit Immortal, robbing the rich to help the poor. After every theft, he makes sure to leave behind a paper peach blossom.

The new grain merchant, Gu Jiu, is too kind to be a businessman: he sells grain cheaply, lends his boats for free, and quietly settles legal disputes, too. As they grow closer, Chen Zuibai comes to regard him as a confidant, even revealing that he is Moonlit Immortal.

There is just one thing Chen Zuibai keeps telling Gu Jiu: No one from the capital is any good.

“And that marquis, the one pretending to be crazy and foolish. Stay away from him.”

Gu Jiu: “…All right.”

Chen Zuibai doesn’t know that the man sitting beside him is the Marquis of Anyuan himself.

He also doesn’t know that this man has spent six years searching for him and six years painting his portrait, yet has never dared to admit who he is.
