[Please add to your favorites! The story will start at 300 collections]

Yu Yu is the youngest son of a wealthy family. Spoiled and unruly since childhood, he is forced into a marriage alliance with a powerful business tycoon after coming of age. He hears that his fiance is old, ugly, and terrifying to look at. Unable to bear it, Yu Yu promptly runs away from the wedding.

To avoid being caught, he chooses a quiet temple to practice spiritual cultivation. There is a Buddhist disciple of peerless beauty at the temple, and Yu Yu falls for him at first sight. But the disciple is pure-hearted and desireless, unmoved no matter how much Yu Yu flirts with him.

Yu Yu doesn't give up. Shamelessly, he begs Buddha to bless their marriage.

And in his heart, he prays: Make it long, intense, and lasting!

*

Buddha answers his prayers, and his world falls apart.

He can actually feel everything the Buddhist prayer beads on the disciple's wrist feel!

Through a crack in the door, he watches the disciple calmly turn the beads with his cool, clear eyes, while outside, Yu Yu trembles all over, his face flushed red.

On the verge of tears, Yu Yu works up the nerve to steal the prayer beads.

First attempt, failure. The disciple smacks his palm with a ruler.

Second attempt, failure. The disciple ties up his wrists and makes him go hungry all night.

Nth attempt, failure. The chaste, otherworldly disciple grabs his face and pulls him into his arms, asking calmly, "Is it lasting enough?"

Yu Yu bites his lip as tears stream down his face.

At last, one day, he steals the prayer beads and runs away!

*

Only after being dragged back home does Yu Yu learn that the prayer beads are worth a fortune.

Wearing them, he is forced to meet his fiance, but the moment he sees him, his eyes widen in shock and he turns to run.

Jiang Lin grabs him by the wrist and pulls him into his arms, rubbing the prayer beads as he admires Yu Yu's trembling expression. "We've met again, my fiance."
