[Capital City Mascot: Mystic King Shen Ting vs. Modern Strongwoman Meng Yun]
Prince Shen Ting of Nan'an has spent decades studying the art of divination. His calculations predict that he is about to suffer a disastrous romantic calamity, with bloodshed looming.
To save his own skin, he packs up and flees to Chengyuan Temple in the middle of the night.
Then one day, as the wind blows through the peach grove, a broad, sturdy shadow drops from the sky and lands squarely on his chest.
Before passing out, Shen Ting stares at the young woman's bulging biceps and has a sudden revelation: This isn't a romantic calamity. The calamity itself has descended upon him!

Meng Yun feels wronged, too.
She transmigrated to ancient times, hoping to live off others and wait out her days. All she wanted was for a fortune-teller to estimate how long it would take her to get home, but instead, she seriously injured him before he could even try.
The emperor is furious and wants to punish her.
To avoid a beating, she waits outside Prince Nan'an's residence, begging him to show mercy and go to the palace to plead her case.
But Shen Ting flees faster than a rabbit and won't even show his face. He just has a servant pass along a message:
"You were born with extraordinary strength. Go guard the frontier, and you'll surely defend the country."
"You could also go farm in the countryside and have plenty to eat and wear."
"In short, the farther you stay from me, the better."
Meng Yun: ???
So, you're hiding from me?
She rolls up her sleeves and lifts the stone lion at the entrance to his residence with one hand.
Fine. If you won't come out, I'll tear this place down until you do.
Theme: Women should be self-reliant.
