The Playful Holy Monk

[Coming soon: Playing with My Widowed Sister-in-Law. Please add it to your collection.]

[The wild and audacious Princess of Nanyue x the pure and immaculate holy monk of Eastern Chu]

She only wanted a taste of the holy monk, but ended up turning Eastern Chu upside down.

*

Nanyue is a country with open customs, and Princess Cheng'an is wild and audacious. Her greatest wish in life is to be like the seductive demoness in a storybook and sample the taste of "Tang Monk's flesh."

So she had Wuhuan, the world-renowned holy monk in the Eastern Chu diplomatic mission, bound hand and foot and carried off to the princess's residence.

*

Wuhuan's white robes are immaculate as snow, untouched by a speck of dust. He doesn't even look at her, only saying, "Princess, please show some restraint!"

The princess swears to heaven, "One day, I'll make you fall in love with me of your own free will, tear off that snow-white kasaya yourself, and go wild and mad for me!"

*

The holy monk Wuhuan is famous throughout the land. He rescues a "handsome young man" and sails away with him.

Who could have imagined that one act of kindness would turn the diplomatic mission's grand ship into a vessel of bliss?

As the ship sails across the sea, Wuhuan's hand stills as he copies a scripture. A drop of vivid golden ink falls. He closes his eyes in anguish. "A sin..."

Yujing calls softly, "Master..."

Wuhuan trembles. Why is it that the handsome young man's plump lips before him have become utterly indistinguishable from the luscious red lips in his dreams?

*

Wuhuan's origins are the greatest secret in Eastern Chu.

Some revere him as a god, some fear him as a demon,

and others want him dead.

He can live as long as he remains a monk. If he returns to secular life, Eastern Chu will be turned upside down.

*

Until the day he sits high upon a gilded throne, its nine beaded curtains swaying as he winds her dark hair around his fingers and laughs tenderly, "My darling, I'll give you my life."

Princess Yujing: "Your Majesty, please show some restraint..."

Inspired by the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West and Green Snake and Fahai.

(Not related to the content of the films.)

1. Wuhuan becomes a monk to escape danger and regains his identity later. They are each other's first love. There is a second male lead and no second female lead.

2. A flirtatious, seductive princess in disguise as a man x a cool, pure-hearted monk who gets teased relentlessly.

3. A woman disguising herself as a man, her identity exposed, and a holy monk knocked off his pedestal.

4. Lots of original worldbuilding, with a very loose setting. Full of melodrama. Lots of everyday interactions.

5. A sweet romance with tons of interaction, written to indulge my personal tastes. If it's not for you, feel free to drop it without telling me.

Coming soon: Playing with My Widowed Sister-in-Law

[An outwardly icy young widow x a scheming, ruthless eunuch in disguise]

Ding Yulu is a widow, as beautiful as peach blossoms yet cold as ice.

She had barely married into the Feng family when her husband died. She and her younger brother-in-law, Feng Yinxiao, depended on each other.

She gradually fell in love with her brother-in-law, but he was the governor of the Eastern Depot, handsome but untouchable. Ding Yulu didn't dare reveal her feelings, and died young, consumed by sorrow.

*

After being reborn, she resolves to put love behind her and start over, so she agrees to marry the newly appointed top scholar.

That day, a wedding procession with a red bridal sedan and ten miles of wedding gifts is surrounded by Eastern Depot guards. The governor sits high on his horse, his eyes icy as a winter storm. "Sister-in-law, did you ask me before deciding to marry?"

*

Feng Yinxiao is peerlessly handsome and wields power over all under heaven.

As the head of the Eastern Depot, he has a secret: he can hear his widowed sister-in-law's thoughts.

But after being reborn, he can no longer hear a thing.

Whenever he sees her smiling eyes, the thoughts from his past life ring automatically through his mind like a demonic chant:

"He's so handsome. What a shame he's a eunuch."

"Erlang is perfect in every way, but he's all looks and no use."

"Yinxiao, Yinxiao... How can you lead a flute when you don't even have one?"

*

Late at night, Feng Yinxiao pins Ding Yulu against the wall and laughs coldly again and again. "Sister-in-law, go on, tell me. Is Erlang any good or not?"

Theme: Treating one another with sincerity, and loving responsibly.
