“A Reader’s Guide”: A refreshingly bold and flirtatious female lead x an exceptionally restrained saintly monk male lead. Packed with laughs, precise angst, and high-energy twists. [A dance student transmigrates as Princess Gao Yang and escapes her wedding on day one by climbing into a monk’s courtyard!]
My name is Yue Xiaomo. I transmigrated as Princess Gao Yang and climbed over the wall to flee on my wedding night. I just wanted to hide out in some temple, but ended up climbing straight into Monk Bianji’s courtyard.
Under the moonlight, he wore a gray monk’s robe and looked so handsome he hardly seemed real. On impulse, I asked, “Are monks allowed to date?”
The tips of his ears turned red at once.
Later, I “accidentally” brushed his hand with modern dance steps, “deconstructed” his Buddhist scriptures with psychology, and bombarded the Zen heart he had cultivated for twenty years with my unabashed declarations of love. His gaze grew more and more intense, and the prayer beads in his hand spun faster and faster.
Everyone said Princess Gao Yang had gone mad and Monk Bianji was done for.
I tugged at his sleeve and smiled up at him amid the countless curses. “Monk, the scriptures save all living beings. Will you save me?”
I wonder if the princess and the monk can change history together in this life...
