Bai Shuo learned something by experiencing it firsthand: You can't escape a scandal.
But what if you face it head-on? It might just come true.
After returning from his journey to the West, Bai Shuo, the third prince of the Dragon King of the Western Sea, was planning to return to the Dragon Palace and finally enjoy the freedom he'd lost so many years ago...
Who could have guessed that the moment he got back, he'd hear the shrimp soldiers and crab generals whispering: "Oh no! I heard our Third Prince has gotten involved with Jin Chanzi!"
Bai Shuo: ...
Seriously? You believe a rumor that ridiculous?
So he packed his bags and ran away in the middle of the night, determined to make a name for himself in the mortal world.
Little did he know that after Jin Chanzi, Chen Yanzhou, joined the ranks of officials, his rookie performance metrics plummeted. The Buddha kicked him into the cycle of reincarnation, saying, "Why don't you reincarnate first and get some more practice!"
And so...
One carefree, wealthy young man of the mortal world.
One upright and incorruptible inspector.
A bloody murder brings the two together once more.
As cases continue to pile up, their entanglement deepens, and they become inseparable.
One day, many years later, Bai Shuo wakes up in bed:
"Wait, brother! Why are you in my bed again?"
Chen Yanzhou hooks an arm around his waist and pulls him back, affectionately rubbing his nose against Bai Shuo's.
"How come you're still so shy after all these years of marriage? Hmm?"
Only then does Bai Shuo come to his senses. He rubs his aching waist, his face turning red as he curls up beneath the covers.
Theme: A familiarity that spans reincarnation, unrelated to Buddhahood or fate. Two souls meet again and slowly fall for each other.
