The Buddhist Prince Uncle Rebels

"A Ling, I'm greedy..."

"I want to live in a palace grander than the Prince Yu's residence. I want hundreds and thousands of servants surrounding me, and a phoenix robe and bridal gown woven with gold and set with jade... More than anything, I want to watch you step, one step at a time, to the highest throne... Looking down upon the world, surveying the Nine Provinces, revered by all the people."

Her voice was honey-sweet, and her bewitching words, both demonic and divine, came again: "Promise me you'll take me and Manman to enjoy all the wealth and splendor this world has to offer, all right?"

Yun Ling's heart and mind were thrown into turmoil. After a long silence, he finally smiled faintly and said, "If that's what you wish, then I will give it a try for you, Yaoyao."

Previous-life version:

She transmigrated into the body of a poor slave woman banished to guard the imperial mausoleum.

To escape a life with no future, no sunlight, and no joy, she seduced the young imperial uncle who lived in a nearby temple, where he had been ordered to practice Buddhism.

She planned to use him to get out of the mausoleum and then live a carefree life elsewhere.

Instead, she was dragged into the royal family's dark secrets and became a pawn left to die.

After her death, she discovered that the man had renounced his vows in a fit of fury, rebelled, avenged her, and taken the throne. He had even remained unmarried for her all his life?

This time, she only wants to stay alive, make it up to him, raise their son, and encourage him to keep rising to greater heights.

Yun Ling, the devoted dad:

After serving as regent for three years, he relinquished power and left the capital. He thought he would spend the rest of his life traveling the land, delighting in its scenery, and retiring to a quiet life in the wilderness.

But a burst of warmth suddenly entered his calm, uneventful life.

He fell in love, and then discovered they had a son!

A few years later, the man who had once desired nothing had a loving wife and child waiting for him at home.

Yun Ji, the dear son:

His mother died when he was young. He had no siblings or children, and his only father had already passed away.

So this was what it meant to be truly alone. He was barely hanging on, gravely ill and beyond help, and now he was going to die.

If there were another life, he wanted both parents by his side, and a peaceful, happy life.

----- Next up: The Little Cat Demon of the Immortal Lord's Trial

The little demon A Si was too lazy to cultivate. All the other mountain demons had gone down the mountain to make a name for themselves, while she spent her days doing nothing but eating and sleeping, living a life of carefree ease. Then one day, she woke from a nap with a yawn and glanced around. Only then did she realize that she was the only demon left on the mountain!

Without a moment's hesitation, A Si packed up some freshly picked fruit and went down the mountain to look for her old companions. She couldn't find them, and when she turned back, she couldn't even find the mountain gate. With no way home, she ended up wandering from place to place.

Later, by sheer coincidence, she wandered into a secluded palace. It was home to a young retired emperor who had been confined there. Though blind, he was handsome and gentle, with a lovely voice, and he didn't chase her away when she secretly ate his fruit.

A Si thought life could hardly get any better, so she refused to leave. In the cold palace, the man and the cat depended on each other for company.

Later, seeing him constantly groping about in the dark, A Si felt sorry for him and decided to use magic to heal his eyes. But her powers were weak, and after forcing the spell, her cat body was already feeble. Just then, a heavenly tribulation descended without warning.

The howling wind drove dark clouds overhead, and thunder exploded beside her ears. She tried to run back inside, but before she could even reach the door, a bolt of blinding white lightning struck. She died on the wall without warning.

Male Lead's Perspective

Immortal Lord Huayao was the Heavenly Emperor's most capable aide, and had managed the affairs of the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses for thousands of years. He was devoted to his duties and shouldered most of his elder brother's burdens. The Heavenly Emperor saw this and was pleased, yet one thing always troubled him: after all these millennia, Huayao still didn't have a single immortal companion.

At last, the Heavenly Emperor personally issued an edict ordering Huayao to descend to the mortal realm and undergo a trial. He was to experience all seven emotions and six desires among mortals, and, while he was at it, take a long vacation.

His immortal soul entered the cycle of reincarnation, and he became Song Yao, the Emperor Xuanzheng of the mortal realm. From the day he ascended the throne, he treated state affairs as his whole world, working day and night and rarely letting anyone else handle the court's business.

But when he was twenty-eight, overwork made him ill, and he went blind. He searched everywhere for a renowned doctor, but to no avail. He had no consort, and refused to touch the women sent into his palace. Naturally, he had no children either, so in the end he could only pass the throne to the new emperor selected by his ministers and retire as the Grand Emperor.

Who could have guessed that, after the transfer of power and the new emperor's consolidation of his authority, the promised quiet retirement would turn into confinement just a few years later?

As his spirits sank and he grew more despondent, a stray kitten wandered into the cold palace. It kept him company for three years and became the only light in those lonely days.

After more than a decade of busyness, and with his heart already dead after losing his sight, he suddenly found himself wishing he could stop and take a good look at the beauty of the world.

Preferably, together with his cat.

But fate is always unpredictable.

His cat was gone.

Immortal Lord Huayao returned from his trial. Before the other immortals could congratulate him, he barged into Siming's residence. Without a word, he grabbed the Book of Fate and flipped to the volume on Spirit Cat Mountain. His fingers raced over the shimmering golden writing, and he precisely located a little demon named A Si.

In a new life, he looked through the Heavenly Peering Mirror in his hand and saw his little cat curled up in her cave, sleeping soundly...
