"Would it kill you if you didn't date?"
"It would. My two great passions in life are hearing men call out and watching them cry."
"Are your eyes growing out of the backs of men's heads or something?"
"Now, that's not fair. It's not that I'm lecherous. The flowers are in full bloom, and it would be uncultured of me not to admire them."
Qiu Lin: "..."
(The conversation above comes from the 108th family meeting between Shan Yi and Qiu Lin after they transmigrated to ancient times.)

After unexpectedly transmigrating to a fictional dynasty with that troublesome girl, Qiu Lin tried every means he could think of, but still couldn't cure her lecherous ways.
In the end, Qiu Lin had had enough. "Are you going to change or not? Fine, you dated eight people at once back in school, but do that here and you'll be drowned in a pig cage!"
After hearing him out, Shan Yi furrowed her brows slightly and stared at Qiu Lin, deep in thought.
"Qiu Lin, this is easy enough to solve. I just need your support."
"Look, spring is here. It's the season when all things come back to life. You know what I mean, right?"

Anyone who says Shan Yi never entertained improper thoughts about the super handsome guy by her side every day is lying through their teeth.
Once, Shan Yi slyly said, "You're not dating anyone anyway. It'd be a waste if we didn't make use of you. For the rational allocation of resources, like the West-East Gas Pipeline and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project..."
Qiu Lin: :)
He said demurely, "Oh. Dating? I'll have to think about it."
The easier something is to get, the less it's treasured. A clever man knows to play hard to get if he wants to win a woman's heart...
Who knew Shan Yi would say, "Huh? You're going that far?"
"I was just asking if you wanted to be my kissing buddy."

Archaeologists in the future accidentally unearthed Chancellor Qiu's personal diary ↓
Night of the twenty-second day of the tenth month, eighth year of Yongxing.
I must be sick. She called out to me, and I came running, tail wagging. Then she kicked me far away, and I swore I'd never be a dog again. But the next time she curled a finger at me, I was there in a flash. Who could possibly be faster?
Once the records were made public, clear-eyed university students flooded the forums: "This is outrageous! Chancellor Qiu, who once led the scholarly world and defended the cultural traditions, was actually a total simp?!"
