   "The holy monk broke his vows, yet he claims to be able to save me?" Jinrao, her feet bare, walked across the Buddhist scriptures, her Bodhi beads stained with blood. She was Jinshengfang's sharpest blade, alluring and seductive, humming a Jiangnan tune as she killed, but then she met Yunzhi—the once-in-a-century Buddhist disciple of Cidu Temple, his snow-white robes untouched by dust. He saw through her feigned fall at a glance, yet willingly reached out to catch her in this poisonous karmic entanglement. He was aloof and ascetic, disguising himself as a wandering healer to investigate heresy, allowing her to wear a red veil around her neck, yet breaking his vows and entering her bath when she was attacked; she was meticulous in her actions, biting his prayer beads when the love poison took effect, yet secretly learning to make vegetarian soup, and sewing his blood-stained robes into a wedding dress. Until that day, the Ninefold Buddhist Whip shattered Yun's back, and Jinrao, her red robes stained with blood, stormed Cidu Temple, her laughter mingled with tears: "If Buddha cannot tolerate him, I will burn this golden statue!" Peeling back the blood-soaked truth—he was a prince lost among the common people, his robes binding the fate of the nation; she was a lone star lost from the previous dynasty, a red lotus mark on her neck branded with the dynasty's curse. "My first wish upon returning to secular life is to marry you." On the night of Buddha's Birthday, amidst a torrential downpour, he broke the arrow piercing her heart with his bare hands, using his palm blood to place a cinnabar mark between her brows. Later, a clinic appeared in the misty rain of Jiangnan. Rumor had it that the proprietress's hair was as white as snow, and on Buddha's Birthday, when river lanterns were released, people would often see the handsome, grown-up doctor, bowing his head to kiss away the worldly dust from her fingertips.

    The monk Fahai had been watching silently, and seeing that the people were about to be mesmerized by her gaze, he took out a veil of white gauze from his robes and waved it in front of her eyes, saying, "Tie her up?" Suzhen said, "No. Get off me, can't you see they're staring at me?" The monk Fahai frowned and said, "You're just staring at me, what's the point of talking? Tie her up." The White Lady refused to be tied up, and not only that, she kept glancing around at the people, almost as if she were running around the yamen with a blast. The monk Fahai had no choice but to walk around to her side, preventing her from resisting, while covering her eyes with the white gauze. The movement of his arms around her head looked like he was hugging her. The monk Fahai tied her up with a single-minded focus, still wary of this snake getting agitated, but she stood there motionless and calm, smiling at him through the gauze. A row of pearly teeth paired with pink cherry lips, like peach blossoms in spring, her smile was a little smug, and a little mischievous. Zen Master Fahai knew he'd been tricked by her again. Yet, the sight of her charming laughter so close made him uneasy. His hand, which was binding the light gauze, tightened slightly, and he heard Suzhen cry out, "Ouch!" He quickly asked, "Is it too tight?" Suzhen wasn't actually tight, but she pretended to be, raising her hand to poke his forehead. "Bound with your feet?" Zen Master Fahai assumed he'd hurt her with a momentary lapse of judgment and took the blow squarely. It didn't hurt, but it felt a little warm.
