    This is seriously amazing! The novel has a very tight plot, and both the male and female leads are very strong with distinct personalities. The male lead appears to be a cold and aloof Buddhist monk with prayer beads on his hands, but in reality, he is ruthless and decisive. The female lead (not the original owner of this body, but someone on vacation in the mortal realm) appears to be a master of metaphysics, but in reality, she is the Queen of the Underworld.
