When Xie Yunyu, a transmigrator, was unwilling to be rushed into marriage, she hid in the mountains.
Xiao Ling, the Prince Consort of Shou'an, the most sought-after bachelor in the capital, was also bothered and hid in the mountains. Six months later, due to an aphrodisiac, the two had intimate skin contact in a pond.
Xiao Ling declared, "I will take responsibility!" Xie Yunyu replied, "No need, our family backgrounds don't match."
The Xie family started looking for a husband for Xie Yunyu. Young Master Zhang, gentle and elegant, looked good. The Marquis of Guangping's heir, appearing exceptionally brave, was also good. Assistant Minister Du of Dali Temple, wise and decisive, was excellent.
Xiao Ling commented, "Zhang Zhiheng? Ye Jing? Du Zhengming? One is a pretty boy, one is a 'cut sleeve' (homosexual), and one is a wife-killer. None of them are any good. I'll mess them all up!"
Xie Yunyu stated, "Dating is fine, but marriage might not work." Xiao Ling retorted, "Are you pulling up your pants and denying me? Do you want to abandon me?"
Xie Yunyu suggested, "There are so many young ladies in the capital who adore you; you can choose a noble lady from an esteemed family." Xiao Ling declared, "No, I will marry no one but you…"
