Can a Warrior Monk Get Married?

[Shaolin Warrior Monk x Cunning Heiress]

Zhuang Mingzhen was the false heiress of the Nanjun Prefect's residence. Before her identity was made public, she spent her days cockfighting and racing dogs, living a carefree life.

One day, after the Prefect's residence found their real daughter, Zhuang Mingzhen was sent to Yuanshan Temple outside the city to practice as a lay Buddhist.

Life at the temple was austere, and Zhuang Mingzhen was bored out of her mind. Taking the attitude that she might as well make the best of things, she found herself attracted to one of the warrior monks at Yuanshan Temple.

The monk had sharp brows and bright eyes. His thin gray robes clung to his powerful muscles, and his gaze held the calm of someone who had seen through everything.

Zhuang Mingzhen grew intrigued. She teased and flirted with him every day, determined to see a ripple in his tranquil eyes.

At first, the warrior monk ignored her completely. But Zhuang Mingzhen persisted, and one day she finally saw his face turn red.

Satisfied at last, Zhuang Mingzhen let a sly smile show in her eyes and asked in a sweet, clear voice, "Little Master, are warrior monks allowed to marry?"

Later, war broke out across the Central Plains, warlords divided the land, and everyone in Nanjun lived in fear.

The military governor of Liangzhou gathered his troops and marched south. Every place he passed submitted to him.

When the military governor arrived at Nanjun with his army, the fearsome man demanded just one person:

The young lady of the Prefect's residence.

Her adoptive parents couldn't bear to part with their false daughter, so they brought Zhuang Mingzhen back and offered her to the military governor.

Unwilling in every way, Zhuang Mingzhen was dragged before him. She looked up and saw the military governor standing tall, wearing a familiar face she hadn't seen in years.

Tears immediately welled in Zhuang Mingzhen's eyes. Looking at his black hair tied up, she blurted out, "Little Master, you... you grew your hair out?"

Xiao Su was an illegitimate son, sent to Yuanshan Temple from the day he was born.

His life was orderly and uneventful, until that day when the young lady of the Prefect's residence was sent to the temple.

From then on, a woman made his heart race and his face flush every day.

At last, his heart, quiet for twenty years, began to beat with passion.
