Peninsula: This Daoist Priest Doesn’t Want to Be a Movie Star

Li Yanyi grew up in a Taoist temple. Just after he turned twenty, his master ordered him down the mountain to temper his heart in the mortal world.

The good news: The world is vast, and this Taoist can go wherever he wants!

The bad news: He’s short on travel money.

But could a man skilled in the Five Taoist Arts really starve?

Alas, it didn’t take long for reality to slap him in the face.

His stall had been open for only a few minutes when city inspectors chased him away for supposedly marring the city’s appearance...

Just as he stood on the street, fretting over what to do, an unexpected phone call gave him somewhere to go.

The caller claimed to be Li Yanyi’s twin brother and asked if he wanted to pay respects to their late relatives.

Though skeptical, Li Yanyi went in the end.

But it seemed fate was playing a joke on him.

A freak rear-end collision sent the brother he had just met to the ICU.

His life was saved, but he still wouldn’t wake up.

The manager gazed at the brother in his mummy-like bandages, then turned to Li Yanyi and pleaded:

“Daoist, you and your brother look remarkably alike. Please fill in for him at work for now.”

“It’s just one scene, but it’s crucial to him.”

“Once it’s done, I’ll give you five million won!”

“...”

Hearing this, Li Yanyi silently did the math.

At the going rate, he’d have to tell at least two hundred fortunes to earn that much.

Two hundred fortunes!!!

In that case...

“May the virtuous gentleman be blessed. This poor Daoist would be delighted to help...”
