The Poison-Tongued Heroine's Daily Mission to Woo a Buddha

Ni Ruoruo, Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Sect, has no sense of direction, can’t recognize faces, and is a master of poison. Her greatest ambition in life is to snatch a handsome husband and take him home to the mountains.

But on her first trip down the mountain, she crashes into An Hao’s medicine bowl: a strikingly handsome royal prince who has renounced the world and is destined to forsake love.

She dusts him with itching powder, and he retaliates by tapping her on the head with a wooden fish drum. She climbs his wall in the middle of the night and calls him “little baldy,” while he chants sutras until dawn with his ears burning red.

After a journey of nonstop pursuits and ridiculous antics, the poison cauldron is shattered, the imperial court thrown into chaos, and she becomes a demoness wanted across the country, while he becomes a dark monk who breaks his vows for her.

Later, on a snowy night in the imperial city, before an army of a hundred thousand cavalry, he takes off his cassock and drapes a red wedding robe over her:

“Ruoruo, I’ve left the monastery. Will you still marry me?”

She smiles, deep dimples showing. “Let me poison you one more time first. I’ll poison you until we’re old, until we die, until you’re the father of my children!”

Lighthearted absurdity, high-sugar flirtation, and a touch of court intrigue. Every chapter has a twist, and every page will make you laugh until you have abs.

A poison-loving cutie and an ascetic monk. One-on-one romance, both leads untouched, happy ending. Enjoy!
