Upon Attaining Bodhi: I’ll Never See the Tathagata, Nor Betray You

[Unruly Buddhist boy x Aloof sword-cultivator senior sister]

[1v1 + Historical Fantasy + Made for Each Other + Mutual Devotion + Single-Minded Love]

An unreliable master, a Buddhist cultivator, a sword cultivator, a little wolf cub, and a little medicine-making waif struggle to survive among the immortal sects.

A free-spirited boy born with the bones of a Buddha and a proud, icy beauty of a sword-cultivator senior sister each fight to protect what they hold dear. One falls into demonic cultivation to exact revenge; the other would rather die protecting him.

In the end, they tear through the hypocritical Heavenly Dao and rewrite the rules of the mortal world.

May I, in my next life, attain bodhi, my body like lapis lazuli, clear within and without, pure and free of blemish.

Love stirring in this world is nothing more than plum soup in a white porcelain bowl on a midsummer day, crushed ice clinking against its sides.

A trial of love is nothing more than bitter coptis on black tiles in the coldest days of winter, its sugar heart falling away, leaving only bitterness.
