[One-sentence summary] This is the story of a young martial arts monk who was tricked into the entertainment industry by his twin brothers, and ended up becoming a movie star by accident. [Serious Introduction] Xu Zhen is an orphan who grew up in a temple. The old host raised him single-handedly; though they weren't father and son, their relationship was closer than that of father and son. Xu Zhen originally planned to formally become a monk after the age of twenty, so that he could take care of his master in his old age and see him off in his final days. As a result, when he was eighteen, a man claiming to be his brother contacted him. They told him his mother had passed away and asked if he wanted to come and pay his respects. After much deliberation, Xu Zhen finally followed his master's advice. Whether to choose a life of quiet contemplation or the mundane world, let's go down the mountain and see for ourselves before making a decision. However. What awaited him at the foot of the mountain was... His twin brother, a nobody actor, left him at home as a stand-in while he ran away! "Little master, please help me this once." Looking at Xu Zhen's bewildered expression, the brother's agent said with a hint of tears in his eyes, "I had to use my connections, my reputation, and my shamelessness to get this role." "Now that the project has been abandoned at the last minute, how am I supposed to face anyone after this?" "Please, help me! I don't care if I act well or badly!" Xu Zhen looked at the bright red 50,000 yuan in front of him and hesitated. He thought of the leaky dining hall in the southwest corner and the shaky scripture pavilion, and silently did some calculations. "This humble monk is devoted to Buddhism, but has not yet attained enlightenment. How can I easily dabble in worldly affairs..." Xu Zhen said with a serious expression, "It costs more money."

The imperial relatives praised the Crown Prince for his deep affection. Only she knew that he had orchestrated the rebellion, and that his efforts were merely a cover-up to ensure that the irrefutable evidence would be overshadowed by others who would take the blame. He personally tasted the medicine for the ailing emperor and served him at his bedside, saying, "I will not eat for a day until my father recovers."
