Possessed by a Celibate Monk, She Goes on a Killing Spree in the Marquis’s Household

A sweet-faced schemer with a heart of darkness, an innocent Buddhist monk, versus a calculating businesswoman reborn seven times

After Second Master Pei promised, “I’ll marry you as soon as I graduate high school,” Shen Zhiyi emptied her dowry and waited three years.

But when he graduated, he got engaged to someone else and treated her with utter disdain.

“Letting you be my concubine is already more than you deserve.”

“You’re ugly and stupid. Who else would want you besides me?”

Then a bolt of lightning brought her a fiancé who could possess other people.

And he was a monk!

On the day she rode off in a little bridal sedan to marry the monk, Second Master Pei blocked the road on horseback.

“If you marry a monk, you’ll be a widow in all but name.”

“If you double your dowry, I might deign to take you as a concubine…”

But she only smiled. “Keep that blessing for someone else.”

When they meet again,

she is richer than a kingdom, opening granaries with her monk husband to provide disaster relief. Her beauty is beyond compare.

Second Master Pei chases her carriage for three miles, consumed by jealousy and driven mad.

“Did you deliberately make yourself look ugly in front of me just so you could marry a monk who has no interest in women?”

Inside the carriage,

the monk pins her in a corner, his long fingers undoing her sash as he pulls her into his arms…

They spend every night in passion.

Her: Every time I die, I am reborn in a different body.

Him: After my childhood sweetheart died, everyone I met reminded me of her.
