[Steady, scheming sickly young master VS handsome, multifaceted monk]
[Dual male leads + reborn + two powerful leads + historical setting + 1v1 + revenge + political intrigue]
At the execution grounds in the marketplace, Chu Luoshu, who had wielded power over the court, died drenched in blood. Only then did he learn that the new emperor he had devoted his life to supporting, and the princess who had shared his bed, were the true culprits behind his family’s destruction.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back at sixteen. They say a scholar who runs into soldiers can’t reason his way out of trouble. So what will happen when this reborn sickly scholar encounters a breathtakingly beautiful, martial-arts-skilled monk with long hair at the Temple of National Protection?
“My heart isn’t kind. I reckon I gave all my kindness to you, which is why this most unexpected of surprises has left me so utterly surprised.” Beneath the boundless sky and across the endless plains, the Temple of National Protection’s red plum blossoms are trying to climb over the wall.
His younger siblings chorused, “Brother, we don’t need money. We need a sister-in-law!” Chu Luoshu stroked his chin, deep in thought. The next day, a raised platform stood before the Chu residence, with a shocking announcement: “A martial arts tournament to find a bride! She must be virtuous, capable of managing the accounts, tall, and long-legged.” He never expected the monk who chanted sutras to emerge as the winner… This is a story of revenge, protection, extraordinary wealth, and how to bring home a monk as beautiful as a flower on a lofty peak.
