Buddhist monk: I'm determined to return to secular life. Cultivator: I'm deeply regretful.
*
On the run from romantic entanglements.
Yue Lingge, a cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, never learns her lesson. She's fallen for another handsome monk.
Using the excuse of hiding from her enemies, she puts on an act and flirts shamelessly all the way.
But she gets too carried away.
She slips, hits her head, and loses her memory.
The young monk had already fallen for her.
Seeing her like this, Xitan decides to return to secular life and grow his hair long.
He stays by Yue Lingge's side, ready to brave any danger to help her regain her memories.
Once she remembers everything, they'll go straight back to his hometown and get married.
But when Yue Lingge opens her eyes after losing her memory, there's no handsome monk in sight.
That's clearly her life-saving benefactor!
A life-saving benefactor is to be admired from afar, never to be trifled with!
Yue Lingge treats him with the utmost respect, keeps her distance, and absolutely refuses to besmirch the virtuous monk.
Xitan sighs, thinking it will all be fine once she regains her memory.
But when she finally does get her memories back, Yue Lingge runs away!
With all her memories restored, her conscience starts tormenting her.
She berates herself: What kind of beast am I? Of all people, I had to deceive him!
Consumed by regret, she wakes up every day wishing she could slap herself a few times.
To improve her cultivation, forget the monk, and get over her heartbreak,
Yue Lingge starts scouting for new fish to add to her pond.
Xitan intercepts her list of potential fish, and Xitan goes completely off the rails.

Many years later, everyone asks Yue Lingge:
"Elder Yue, how have you managed to be in the Hehuan Sect and still have only one fish in your pond?"
She glances at the ominous-looking Xitan beside her.
Yue Lingge smiles wearily. "Thanks for asking. The pond exploded."
