Prologue

I ao as I was drifting in front of Yue Lao’s house (1), the sloshed fogy suddenly turned me into a spiritual entity on a drunken whim After he sobered up, he stroked his beard and tried to defend himself: ”Ah, you’re a puff of cloud fated for divinity Fro Zi” (2)

Yue Lao - old man under the moon aka the matchmaker God who ties couples who are s

Her nairl’, but the format used is si with Xiao (little) and ending with Zi (child)

At the ti with the naiven, and so I obediently nodded

With that said, he cracked that thing so suddenly that I wasn’t prepared for it, and in the process, got my round fan whipped to shreds
