Yun Huizhi lazily stayed in town, taking photos and writing articles, acting as a self-proclaimed ambassador. One day, she posted a landscape photo with a crazy caption: "Amateur tour guide, anyone wanting to travel and find a short-term girlfriend, consider me. Price negotiable (only for pretty women)." Someone took it seriously and messaged her asking about her standards of beauty. Yun Huizhi deliberately teased, "Let me show you a picture without makeup." She thought the chat would end there, but the person actually sent one. Yun Huizhi instantly felt worthless. "From now on, the meaning of my life is waiting for you to come." —When she finally picked her up, Yun Huizhi thought, "What the hell? This person is even prettier than in the photos! How could I possibly lack travel companions?" "Why did you ask me to travel with you?" "I'm divorced and came here to heal. Your photos are good." People asked her, "Why do you do this?" Yun Huizhi replied, "My family is poor, I need to earn money to pay for tuition." Yun Huizhi was a qualified tour guide, taking clients sightseeing, drinking, and enjoying delicious food during the day, and riding bikes to chase the sunset. At night, the moonlight in the small town swayed, hotter than the sunlight, and they indulged in romantic escapades. After half a month of absurdity, the other party left without a word, leaving behind a sum of money. Yun Huizhi continued to stay in the town to while away the time. —Pre-school training, new teachers introduced themselves with the surname Yun. The homeroom teacher who accompanied her was dressed conservatively and seemed to have amnesia, addressing her as Teacher Yun in a businesslike manner. Yun Huizhi, ever the familiar type, followed everyone back to the teachers' apartment. "I just found out that Teacher Chu has always been unmarried." Chu Ruoyou sneered, "Someone who pretends to be a poor student to make money has the right to ask?" Yun Huizhi's attitude was agreeable: "They gave me too much, so I had no choice but to come and continue working for you." The lie was exposed, the moonlight of the small town fell into the late summer night, and deliberately buried memories resurfaced. "...You bastard." "But you said you wouldn't leave me, you bastard, and I believed that." Younger man/Loser/Lighthearted and sweet/No truth in his mouth/+Synopsis written on January 10, 2023!

Completed [Pure ancient romance with forced marriage + male lead has no morals but possesses male virtues + wife-chasing trope + heavy-handed, bittersweet romance]

(Controlling! Jealousy drives them crazy! Both are virgins! A seemingly innocent but actually cunning and possessive powerful minister vs. a resilient and scheming delicate flower)

Jiang Yu married the Grand Secretary, a man of gentle and refined character.

He washed his hands and cooked for her, and styled her hair in front of the mirror; because she was frail, he never parted with a string of white jade bodhi beads from then on.

People say he is a holy Buddhist disciple who has fallen into the mortal world.

Until Jiang Yu caught sight of him in the Buddhist hall, where he wrapped a jade bodhi around someone's neck and indifferently strangled that person to death...

Jiang Yu then realized that his feigned gentleness was nothing more than a golden cage he had woven to trap her.

One day, while they were intimately close, Jiang Yu plunged a dagger into his heart and then ran away.

Pushing open the gate of the mansion a thousand miles away, she found her husband, who should have been dead, smiling coldly. He wrapped the blood-stained white jade bodhi around her wrist, kissing it reverently, "Yu'er, running away will be punished..."
