Where's My Daughter?

#ZhengLaoSi'sJourneySouth #A-Lonely-Father's-Thousand-Mile-Search-for-His-Daughter

Zheng Laosi's daughter went missing. Someone saw her flying south on clouds with an old Daoist.

Zheng Laosi's wife was gone. His father-in-law disapproved of him and threatened to kill himself, forcing his wife to sign divorce papers.

Zheng Laosi himself was as good as gone. His name was on the conscription order. If he joined the army, he'd be fighting the emperor as a rebel, with little chance of survival and no hope of clearing his name.

Luckily, monsters showed up at Zheng Laosi's home. Two of them, in fact: a broken bowl and a short nail.

The short nail was stubborn, and the broken bowl was noisy. In a hoarse voice, it cackled, "Zheng Laosi, where's your daughter? Where's your daughter?"

One man and two monsters left the village, beginning a long journey in search of his daughter.

[A lighthearted supernatural tale. Qian Lin is Zheng Laosi's wife, and Zheng Yue is their daughter.]

[Bratty Student x Frail Teacher] If you're bold enough, you can drag your teacher into bed.

Fu Yingying sat crying in bed, wrapped in a thin quilt. Behind the gauze curtains, embroidered socks and a camisole lay scattered across the floor.

A moment earlier, General Fu had barged in, taken one look, and fled in embarrassment. Now he stood in the courtyard, cursing loudly. The person he was cursing sat on the edge of the bed, just as disheveled. A faint red mark showed beneath his slightly open collar. The man was slender, his fists clenched as he kept his head down and endured the humiliation in silence.

He was the tutor Fu Manor had hired. General Fu had paid him two hundred taels to help him out of a bind, hiring him for three years to teach his daughter at the Fu residence.

"Sob... Teacher..."

Fu Yingying cried behind the quilt, her two visible eyes bright with a trace of mischief. Her slightly curled toes slipped out from beneath the quilt, seemingly by accident, and brushed against the man's side.

Fu Dalei was a general who had seen blood on the battlefield. He believed in the battlefield rule that the strong were king.

He had only one daughter, whom he'd spoiled and indulged since childhood. He taught her to go after whatever she liked, to cheat if she couldn't get it by force, and to destroy it if she still couldn't have it.

Later, his precious daughter took a liking to a frail scholar who couldn't even lift a chicken. She tried every way to win him over, but when that failed, she got him drunk and forced herself on him.

Theme: Don't abandon or give up on your children. I love my child.
