[A cheerful, sweet little story about daily life at a temple. Weibo: @SweetConeIsNotSweetAtAll] Jiang Yuying, the only daughter of the Jiang family, has been clever and spirited since she was little. She can wreak havoc in Heaven and pull dragons' tendons and skin their hides in the sea. If she wants something, she always gets it. But this time, she's set her sights on a bald monk from a temple! She plans to make the young master leave the monastery and become her husband within three months. But after turning the temple upside down, all she gets from him is, "Benefactress Jiang." It's so hard to steal someone from the Buddha! We may not be fated to be together, but I'll make it happen by sheer force! Jiang Yuying: "Young master, you're so handsome!" Chongming: "Benefactress Jiang, our bodies and appearances are gifts from our parents. They should not be praised." Jiang Yuying: "Young master, I like you!" Chongming: "Benefactress Jiang, those who have entered the clergy do not speak of love." Jiang Yuying: "Young master, I'll be waiting for you in my room tonight!" Chongming: "Benefactress Jiang, it is proper for men and women to keep their distance." Jiang Yuying: "Chongming, I'm asking you one last time. Will you leave the monastery and become my husband or not?" Chongming: "Benefactress Jiang... Yinger, I will..." I thought that entering the Buddhist faith meant letting go of all worldly attachments and cleansing the six senses. I never expected that the world I couldn't see through would turn out to be you. A mischievous rich heiress x a young monk who speaks of the Buddha but keeps her in his heart Synopsis of Sunset Falls into an Orange Sea [Rekindled Love] [A gentle, resilient, genius physics professor x a proud, devoted corporate leader. Rekindled love, painful push and pull, and a love triangle] He Yan, the campus heartthrob of Jingbei University's finance department, is a rich young master, carefree and flamboyant. Xu Xicheng, the top student in the physics department, is well-behaved and disciplined, spending her days studying in the library. At a party, after everyone has had a few drinks, Xu Xicheng thinks He Yan has fallen asleep. On an impulse, she decides to end her doomed unrequited love with a kiss. But just as her lips are about to touch his cheek, the man pretending to sleep suddenly turns his head, and their lips meet. He Yan's ink-black eyes fix on her flushed face, his playful smile deepening. "Why don't we give this a try?" If you ignore the ending, what came afterward could make up for all the pain and sorrow in the world. But what story can be told without its ending? She was the one who ended things. That proud, indomitable man stood in the rain all night. * They meet again seven years later at a science and technology gala. Xu Xicheng is now the youngest associate professor in the physics department at Jingbei University. He Yan had rehearsed their reunion countless times. He would put the person who abandoned him in her place, act cold enough, and make her regret it. But all his emotions collapse the instant he sees the ill-fitting coat draped over Xu Xicheng's shoulders. At the dinner, He Yan stops her. His unfathomable gaze seems ready to devour her. "What are you to him?" But her answer is even more decisive than it was that rainy night: "What business is it of yours, Mr. He?" Seven years really is a long time, long enough to forget someone completely. But how could it be long enough for her to stop loving him? * People say the first to fall in love is the one who loses, but He Yan knows for certain that he was the one who lost, completely and utterly, from the very beginning. He admits defeat. He gives up. As long as Xu Xicheng will look back at him, he'll do anything. He's no worse than any of the men around her. So why won't she even give him a chance? "Xu Xicheng, is your heart made of stone?" "I suppose it is." "Then why can they all have you, but I can't?" Xu Xicheng lowers her eyes and answers with silence. He Yan, no longer capable of reason, grips both her wrists and kisses her by force despite her struggling, until the metallic taste of blood between their lips is washed away by salty tears. When he suddenly comes to his senses, he pulls her tight against him and apologizes over and over. "Don't cry, Little Orange. Don't cry. It's my fault. I'm sorry..." But the person sobbing in his arms manages to say between broken breaths, "A Yan... Let's stop..." * It's absurd for a physicist to talk about fate. But Xu Xicheng still feels that in the instant the singularity appeared, everything was already destined. Even Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain may not be able to calculate fate in its entirety. How could she, living in the mortal world, know where the next gust of wind will blow? What are you mumbling about? I want to kiss you. He Yan, completely lost in her rambling, decides to fight magic with magic and bends down to kiss her. "Why think so much? All you need to know is that someone named He Yan loves you more than anyone else in the world." Theme: Perseverance can carve through stone.
