[Living Buddha Ji Gong fanfic] The story picks up after Yanzhi’s death in Season One. This time, the Buddha doesn’t take Yanzhi away, and instead allows Daoji to return to secular life. Yanzhi is reborn, and Daoji begins the long road to winning her back, finally resolving the regret of two people who were meant for each other but never got to be together. “I beg the Buddha to show mercy and guide me. Daoji has no idea what to do anymore.” Yanzhi had stopped breathing in his arms. Kneeling before the Buddha, Daoji bowed until his forehead was bloodied. He regretted everything.
From then on, Lingyin Temple had one fewer madcap monk named Daoji, and one more lay disciple who followed his wife around all day.
