Exclusive to Jinjiang. I'm not responsible for pirated copies! Coming soon: "Serving the Buddha." Please add it to your collection on my author page. Synopsis: [1] During a palace coup, Xiao Jinghao was entrusted to the eminent monk Zhanji to raise her, just as she teetered on the brink of death. They first met on the ancient Bodhi road. The Buddhist monk's eyes and brows were full of resistance, his gaze sharp and fierce as a rakshasa. He said coldly, "Take her away. I won't raise her." With nowhere else to go, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, bow her head, and call him "Master." [2] For many years afterward, she'd thought the monk would leave her to fend for herself. Instead, he took her on a journey through mountains and rivers, showed her the warmth and cruelty of the world, and taught her with care and attention to every detail, until he placed her on the throne! From then on, she was the empress, and he was her state preceptor. In public, she was an empress who could plan and strategize. In private, she was a girl who blushed whenever she saw her state preceptor. But Zhanji always lowered his eyes, and all he said was a lesson in propriety: "A ruler must remain calm and focused." Xiao Jinghao traced his features with her eyes over and over. "Holy Monk, I advise you to stop while you're ahead." [3] To ensure the continuation of the imperial line, the entire nation was finding suitors for the empress. She casually summoned a few candidates to an audience... That night, someone violently shoved open the doors to her bedchamber. Zhanji advanced step by step, his gaze dark and unfathomable. "After all these years, was all the kindness I've shown you wasted?" Xiao Jinghao had nowhere left to retreat. She lifted her head and met those blood-red eyes. "Holy Monk, stay calm and focused!" The other man's breathing grew ragged. "If you want to talk, then talk. Why are you putting your hands on me... Master, stop while you're ahead..." Next book: "Serving the Buddha," with a monk as the top. Please add it to your collection on my author page. When Ning Huang was ordered to serve that bald monk Liaojin, he was still a rebellious phoenix who'd been banished to the mortal realm for a grave mistake. Liaojin, meanwhile, was already a renowned and highly respected Buddhist monk. Who would have thought that after sharing meals, a home, and a bed for decades, Ning Huang would find the monk's face more and more appealing? He wanted to break the monk's vow of celibacy, destroy his indestructible body, and stain the white snow perched on the tips of pine needles with a little worldly dust. Unfortunately, before they could settle their romantic entanglement, the monk reached enlightenment and was welcomed into the heavens by all the gods and Buddhas. He became the holy Buddha worshipped by the faithful at the Great Thunderclap Temple. Meanwhile, Ning Huang slaughtered his way through the world and sank into hell alongside the ten thousand demons, becoming an evil creature that both the Buddhist and Daoist sects joined forces to eradicate. In a great battle, Ning Huang fell into an encirclement formed by the gods and Buddhas. In front of the countless divine beings, he asked through a mouthful of blood, "Monk, was there ever anything about me that was different from everyone else in your heart?" Liaojin: "Could you be more specific?" He stared straight at him. "Did you ever love me?" The monk's eyes, as still as a dry well, rested on his face for a long time. He did not answer. "So, would you be able to kill me?" Ning Huang drew closer and kept asking. With all the Buddhas watching, Liaojin stared at Ning Huang's face again and again. "You can't bear to," Ning Huang said with a bewitching smile, his voice low and soft. "How could you bear to see me suffer?" "..." . "Hey, hey, hey! That demon got away!" "What?! The combined forces of the Buddhist and Daoist sects all went after him, and they still failed?!" The gods silently turned to Liaojin, who hadn't said a word. "Holy Buddha, care to explain?" ● Boundlessly powerful Buddhist monk as the top VS a deceptively innocent, seductive phoenix as the bottom ● The aloof beauty gets dragged down from his altar. Theme: You can be ordinary, but you must never be mediocre.
