#but sxy and zl have a lot of potential if you get them away from their crushes

[failonade]

I need an mlc spinoff in which Princess Zhaoling starts sneaking out of the palace to get into jianghu shenanigans with Su Xiaoyong.

Zhaoling's initial goal in sneaking out is to moon after Qiao Wanmian ofc, but SXY happens to be present when ZL is caught attempting to join Sigu Sect in disguise.

They keep having to be rescued from the pickles they get into by an increasingly exasperated mix of Yang Yunchun, Qiao Wanmian and Fang Duobing,* until He Xiaohui intervenes and puts ZL through Tianji Manor bootcamp.

*And, on two memorable occasions, an extremely unimpressed Di Feisheng, who just happened to be passing by.
