Am I the One Who Was Switched at Birth?

Jiang Yilu had studied Buddhism at a temple under his master since childhood, practicing one of the hardest disciplines: the vow of silence.

The neighbors were always saying, “The young monk is handsome and kind, what a shame he's mute.”

Later, the young monk's wealthy parents found the temple and said that the hospital had switched their babies at birth. Jiang Yilu was their biological son.

They expected a moving reunion between parents and child, but instead, the young monk was met with disdain.

Jiang's father: “Why don't you call out to people?”

Jiang's mother: “Why would you shave a perfectly good child's head?”

Jiang family's eldest son: “How could you take Ruan Ruan's place?”

Jiang family's cousin: “Don't be afraid, Ruan Ruan. Even if he comes back, you're still a young master of the Jiang family.”

Jiang Ruan, weeping like a pear blossom in the rain: “Yilu, don't worry. I'll leave and give Mom and Dad back to you.”

Jiang Yilu takes a tablet and types:

Need help catching ghosts or reading feng shui?

Need a safety talisman or a romance talisman?

Need funeral rites, a grave moved, or a rebirth sutra chanted?

Oh, you don't need any of that? Then step aside. This humble monk will ask the next household.

Jin Fengyu: “Wait. I don't need any of those things. How about I have you?”
