The story is simple: a young woman from a poor family has to marry a monk if she has any chance of living a comfortable life–and that’s kind of all you need. Lost in Secular Love isn’t perfect, but there is a quirky charm to the game that kinda works. But, Qiye isn’t afraid to be herself and the story is much better for it–she actively engages with the LIs and gets to know them not just as monks, but as men. It isn’t just out of filial duty, Qiye truly cares for her family and everything she does throughout is for them, even if it means sacrificing her own needs and wants. When her mother suggests that she marry into the Temple for a better life, she is initially against the idea and only agrees because doing so will make life easier for her family. She is a bona fide sass queen and I am here for it! Her facial expressions are HILARIOUS! ![]() What I love about Qiye is how sassy she is–she may pretend to be the perfect lady so she can marry into the temple, but she still lets her personality shine through. She is humble and selfless, but that doesn’t mean she lets folks walk all over her. She is the daughter of a fallen noble family, so she’s much more grounded than you’d expect a high born girl to be–she dresses as a man to work in town to make money for her family and she regularly goes on food scavenging missions in the mountains with her siblings. In a game where the main schtick is trying to bonk hot monks, I didn’t know what to expect from the heroine, but surprise, surprise, Qiye is actually a pretty fun character. Her mother, a devout parishioner at the local Qing Lian Temple sets it up so Qiye can marry the head monk of the temple?! Qiye’s mother worries that the family’s diminished status will negatively impact Qiye’s marriage prospects comes up with a plan that might just save her daughter from a life as an old maid. ![]() Despite her efforts, her family barely makes ends meet, often having to resort to scavenging in the nearby mountains. Qiye Cui (name changeable) is the daughter of a fallen noble family and has taken to dressing as a man to secure work to help support her ailing mother and younger siblings. Yeah, you read that right–a game about monks that don’t mind getting a bit frisky and boy do they ever! This game gets pretty steamy, so prepare your hearts! Oh yes, monks… that’s how you get the blood pumpingīut, oh no, these aren’t just you’re regular pious monks who sit around and read scripture, nah, these monks are down to f*ck.
