Wu Qiongyin has been stuck with "good looks" in her life.
When his family was in decline, he relied on this face to survive the swords of the rebels and was secretly sent out of the city by his loyal servants. When he was gnawing tree bark for three months, he relied on this face to be picked up by "kind-hearted" villagers who brought him back to the village and said they were willing to give him an easy job.
He was so hungry that there were stars in his eyes, so he grabbed this life-saving job and accepted it.
Little did he know that this was a scam that had been carefully designed for ten years.
"Pretending to be Guanyin" in the ceremony to honor the God of Mercy was a guise to deceive others. Even the word "A" he drew casually when he was ignorant became a proposal to be the "groom" of the God.
On the night of honoring the gods in the tenth year, on the altar, Wu Qiongyin lowered her eyes and recited a prayer of unknown meaning. She did not see the coming god, and her eyes never left him from the beginning to the end.
The candlelight reflected his pale face, and the god who came to stop this farce showed a very satisfied smile.
After learning the truth, Wu Qiongyin took advantage of the chaos to escape, but was chased into a desperate situation by the villagers.
Just when he fell into the abyss and thought he was certain to die, he acted as the god himself for ten years and fished him into his arms on the clouds, carrying the unique clear breath of the fairy mountain.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the twelve peaks of Immortal Zen.
The deity never mentioned the temple fair wedding invitation, and only handed over a piece of paper: "I will take care of your three meals a day and protect your life. In exchange for you signing a deed of prostitution, I will accompany you and serve you personally."
Wu Qiongyin was stunned as she held the page, not knowing how much of a bargain she had gotten.
He just thought that he was lucky enough to be favored by the god.
Little did he know that in the eyes of the deity, every year, there would be a young man playing him, holding the most sincere heart and proposing to him with great solemnity and piety in front of his portrait.
——
"The crowds of people worshiped the gods and made noise with the drums. They were surprised to see me dressed as a man."
"There are many temple fairs in the village to honor the gods, and I dress up as Guanyin every year. The costumes and decorations of Guanyin are suspicious, not like Guanyin or like a jade man."
Purpose: Deception is worse than sincerity
