   🔥Buddhist rules cannot restrain a heart's flutter! A forbidden love between a cold-faced Buddhist monk and a rebellious heiress, igniting from their first encounter at Jingye Temple to a showdown in the imperial court! She is a habitual truant from the Minister's mansion, disguising herself as a man to climb over the temple wall, just to tease the aloof monk with a cinnabar dot between his brows; he is the last descendant of the late emperor, living in seclusion, accompanied only by the ancient Buddha and the flickering lamp, yet his tranquil mind is disturbed by the bright spring sunshine that bursts in. Throwing stones at a monk under the Bodhi tree, an unexpected embrace by the waterfall, peach blossom ink staining Buddhist scriptures, working together to heal the world at a free clinic—he breaks his vows to give her medicine, she bravely ventures into the imperial prison for him. As imperial intrigues surface and plague looms over the capital, a Buddhist monk sheds his robes to wield a sword, while a wealthy woman sets aside her finery to research medicine. Together, they unravel fifteen years of palace secrets, using their medical skills to save countless lives and their sincere hearts to fight against the world's injustices. "If this mortal world cannot accept us, I will shatter its illusions for you; if Buddhist precepts bind our true hearts, I will return to secular life for you." From a fleeting glimpse at Jingye Temple to a lifetime of commitment at Bodhi Hall, this journey across the divide between monks and laypeople, a matter of life and death, is sweet enough to warm the heart, and passionate enough to ignite the blood!
