Where Can the Phoenix Find Rest?

Gu Qinghuang always has the same dream: a dream about dating a man. Later, she discovers it was no dream at all, but a memory. Gu Qinghuang’s parents have always had one dream: to have a normal daughter. Later, they discover that it was no dream at all, but a fantasy. You’d rather be a boy than a girl? Fine, you can wear men’s clothes for fifteen years. You prefer armor to pretty dresses? Very well, you can go to war just as you wish. But what did you say? You don’t want to marry? Her father tries to reason with her: “Among the three thousand young gentlemen, there’s bound to be a suitable match.” The stubborn girl is determined not to give in: “No one but him, fair as jade, may nest with this phoenix.” Enough is enough! Her father, the Retired Emperor, decides there’s no need to put up with it any longer! “When the true dragon shows its might, you’ll see I’m no fake Retired Emperor!” “Master, the Retired Emperor has issued an edict: as long as it’s a man, no matter his status, if he can win your heart, the emperor will arrange the marriage!” “Really?” Gu Qinghuang grins, beckons to the person in the courtyard, and calls, “Come on, Monk, you’re coming home with me!”
