[Modern gong protagonist. CP: Lantern-Burning Daoist x Nezha. A crack ship fanfic based on literary works, unrelated to real-world religion.]
[Though the pairing is pretty out there and the character types are niche, overall this is an ordinary modern urban fantasy novel.]

Good news, good news! After several thousand years of decline, the Three Realms have finally experienced a spiritual qi revival in the twenty-first century. Some have awakened memories of past lives, while others have found no heavenly manuals from their past lives. Gods, demons, witches, monsters, humans, ghosts, immortals, and saints have all reappeared in the world, stirring up trouble and carving out new territories and kingdoms...
The Ancient Buddha Lantern-Burning had spent thousands of years slacking off in the sutra repository on Mount Ling. Seeing his chance, he set aside his kasaya, returned to his old habit of scheming for personal gain, and went down to the mortal world in disguise. He took a job as a monk sweeping the floors of a little temple. While bystanders tried to puzzle out the deeper meaning behind his actions, Lantern-Burning, now going by "Qiao Zhu," smiled serenely.
"What am I going to do? Well, obviously... I'm going to fall in love."
Bystanders: ?

The Third Prince Nezha had a problem lately.
The temple he'd built a thousand years ago to reshape his body through the incense offerings had inexplicably been renovated. He'd been sleeping in the temple while his merit kept increasing, and he'd finally had enough. The moment he woke up, he saw someone remarkably familiar, smiling as he introduced himself to the temple's visitors. "Me? I'm not the temple's abbot, of course. I'm just a little Nezha fan. I'm only working for my idol and borrowing a little merit..."
Nezha: ?
He looked at the familiar, blinding golden light of merit surrounding the other person and fell silent.
Lantern-Burning only smiled without a word. Just admit it, you got to borrow some merit!

[This novel will be completed on 1/11 and go VIP on 1/13. VIP chapters start from Chapter 35. Thanks for your support.]
1. Modern spiritual qi revival, gong protagonist, one-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending. The pairing is the astonishingly scandalous Lantern-Burning Daoist x Nezha.
2. The setting is based on literary works such as Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West, and borrows some elements from the Great Wilderness mythos and folk legends. It has nothing to do with religion.
3. Lantern-Burning Daoist's characterization has been heavily reworked, but he remains self-serving, devious, and a scheming bastard. Overall, this is a sly, smiling gong x a fiery, spoiled shou. Take note of the gender-bending portrayal.
4. Criticism and suggestions are welcome, but curses and personal attacks are not. It's just the internet, and we're here for fun. Enjoy reading, and don't force yourself!
Theme: A fire on the ground becomes a blaze; held in the hand, it becomes a candle.
Hahaha, I was shocked. I was still thinking why a great sage would have a master-disciple relationship?! It turns out not
Recommended by others, this is the first time I have seen such an evil CP... But it smells so good [Compare Hearts], a very excellent Mengnan Bible (?) I will appreciate it again and again [Compare Hearts][Compare Hearts]
In fact, you should be grateful that you didn't go to the temple concerned to ask for signatures and certification from the rightful owner... Otherwise you would definitely be unlucky.
Sir, you are the first person I have ever seen who can write about a cult so well! Zhaer is really cute in this book! This is my xp!
Ahaha, I have passed by this book many times before and was scoffed at. But today I really didn't have any novels to read, so I clicked on this one. As a result, it was quite fun.
Ooooooooooh, damn it! Every time JJ sees articles and content that poke my XP and are very fragrant, I have to scold JJ for making me unable to eat meat and can only smell the pain!!!!! The child is still young and wants to eat meat. !! How can it be repaired?
Yay! Looking forward to the author's new articles!
Like!!!!!! Super awesome!! It's over, now I really want to kiss this couple (?>?
Ls After reading your article, I now start to craze about this pair of CPs. You have to be responsible for me——
Nice! It's not easy for a couple to act together~ Isn't it difficult to get married... Can't you just be satisfied?
