After the Blind Girl Became Everyone's Favorite

[Next story: My Sickly Husband Finally Gets His Act Together. The sickly husband of a woman exiled to the frontier rises from the dead in the mourning hall!!] Ye Luo, a blind girl from Nanxi Village, transmigrates into the body of the beloved High Priest of Zilan. The High Priest can communicate with the heavens and understand yin and yang. She has sparkling eyes and captivating charm. Though Ye Luo looks exactly like the High Priest, she is blind from birth, timid and weak, and cannot read a single character. When people tease her, all she can do is dodge. These two people, who could not be more different, switch bodies. The High Priest gains her freedom, while Ye Luo can see the light. But Ye Luo never expected that the supposedly holy and immaculate High Priest, who knew nothing of love, had privately attracted countless ill-fated admirers. She can bluff her way through the prayer ceremonies, but she simply cannot handle one suitor after another. The hidden guard returns to report, kisses her toes, and pours out his heartfelt feelings as blood keeps dripping from his shoulder. Ye Luo: expressionless.jpg The young marquis covets her beauty. He takes a job as the household accountant and dresses himself up like a peacock, hoping to spend the night with her. Ye Luo: expressionless.jpg The top scholar goes so far as to loosen his clothes beneath the moon, braving the cold wind just to win her favor. Ye Luo: expressionless.jpg She looks calm and unruffled, but Ye Luo, who has been pure and innocent for more than a decade, is secretly panicking at the sight of such romantic entanglements. She thinks that dealing with these ill-fated admirers will solve everything. But then the general of the northern kingdom returns to the capital and sees through her identity at a glance. Ye Luo has just finished a ritual when the general intercepts her beneath the ceremonial altar. He says, "You are not the High Priest." Looking into her bright eyes, brimming with fearful tears, the general's gaze darkens. The threat on his lips suddenly changes tone. "Don't be afraid. From now on, you are the High Priest." The High Priest's devoted suitors cannot tell that Ye Luo has changed, while the general, rumored to be at odds with the High Priest, sees through the truth immediately. Later, the general personally teaches Ye Luo to read and write, to give up a life of luxury, and to worry about the common people's suffering. The "High Priest" who once knew nothing but praying and performing rituals now serves gruel and builds shelters for disaster victims, raises grain supplies for the border troops, donates all the precious treasures in her residence, and opens a free school. The people are so grateful for the High Priest's good deeds that, when she reverts to her old ways, amassing wealth and indulging in luxury, they are unhappy but dare not complain. Only the general goes mad, searching all of Zilan until he finally finds Ye Luo in a remote mountain village, leaning on a blind cane and patiently teaching children to read. Seeing the little girl he has taught for years, her bright eyes now gone, the usually cold-hearted general's eyes redden. Reading guide: 1. The heroine's growth is a major focus. 2.
