What will change; himself, or people around him? This comedic, yet heartwarming, series is quite fun and recommendable for anyone interested in Wuxia series.

All he wants to do is... well, doing whatever he wants. * [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]](?): Xiao Hua. * [[The Casanova]]: Shen Yu Men, in bold, gilded letters. * [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler\|The "3-6-9" poison.}} * [[Chew Toy]]: Poor, poor Xiao Hua. Just <s> take a look at everything the first 2 episodes bring him</s> read the introduction text. Line 67 ⟶ 70: * [[Phobia]]: Luo Jin Feng, daughter of two renowned and accomplished martial artists and also one herself, squeals like a little kid at the sight of a bedbug. ** Tang San Mei isn't any better in the face of the ''same'' bug. {{quote\| "Look! Look at that big bug!"}} * [[Poisonous Person]]: Tang San Mei's specialty. * [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Qing Yi sect's Fast Blade, Ghost Whip, <...> and <...>. Line 79 ⟶ 82: ** Tang San Mei, on the other hand, is quite a straight example, being a sassy lass and all. * [[Unwanted Harem]]: Played absolutely straight: Xiao Hua finds out about it one girl at a time, all in very awkward situations. {{quote\| '''Xiao Hua''': "Your master? He's sinned all the way to his grave, happily leaving behind a gigantic mess for me to clean up!"}} * [[Warrior Monk]]: In the series' context, the whole of Shaolin and Wudang sects. * [[The White Prince]]: Duke Huo. And it shows too.
