[Forced Marriage to a Buddhist Hero | Bewitching Silver Bell, Ghost Husband]
Pei Yuncen was the missing young master of Muyun Sect, lost for three years. When he finally returned, the most evil object in the Six Realms had been infused into his body: the Yin Sunflower.
They said it could destroy heaven and earth. So from childhood, they had locked a collar around his neck and drained his marrow and tested his blood every day, all to keep watch for signs of demonic influence.
It wasn't until the Four Great Clans accused him of "becoming a demon and killing people" and attacked him that he realized the truth: those who had repeatedly drained his blood and marrow all those years had never been trying to stop him from becoming a demon. They wanted to take the Yin Sunflower inside him for themselves.
As the flames consumed him, Pei Yuncen was overcome with hatred. He truly wanted to drag the Six Realms down with him.
But a hand reached through the raging fire and gripped his wrist bone tightly.
It was his usually carefree senior brother, Mu Shuye.
He watched helplessly as Mu Shuye plunged into the flames for him, reduced to ashes.
Why was the only person in the world willing to die for him the very person he had never taken seriously?
Pei Yuncen survived.
He would bring Mu Shuye back to life.
He removed his collar, shaved his head, and became a bewitching monk who never took a life.
The silver bells on his wrist rang day and night, holding Mu Shuye's seven souls and six spirits within.
They were inseparable day and night, cultivating together to restore his vitality. Pei Yuncen thought it was nothing more than an obsession.
Until he drew Mu Shuye's feelings from his corpse and helped him return to life, glimpsing their past in the process:
He saw how that young man had fallen for him, little by little.
The light in his senior brother's eyes when he looked at him had never been sympathy or pity.
It was affection.
It was love.
And the burning desire he had felt for his senior brother, which he had thought was filthy, had been vindicated by this man, one stroke at a time, with his very life.
