Prologue

“Host, how are you feeling right now?” The black cat jumped towards Shen Jiayan’s body and rubbed its head against him

Shen Jiayan bitterly laughed, “I don’t seem too well.” When Lu Yingfan’s sword pierced his brain, the biting cold sword became the only remaining impression he had of that world.

“But your task was done well.” The black cat saw that Shen Jiayan was depressed, so it wanted to say some good news to rejoice to, “Mission 1: Let Luo Shaoxuan fall in love with you, complete. Mission 2: Die in front of Luo Shaoxuan, complete. Hidden Mission: Torture Lu Yingfan, complete. Mission Completion: SS Rank, acquired 12,000 points (20% bonus)

Shen Jiayan was flabbergasted when he heard this, “Torture Lu Yingfan? I didn’t do that ah!”

The black cat hesitated for a while before it finally chose to conceal the truth, “It might be that he suffered from blaming himself for personally killing you, and it also indirectly regarded as torturing him.”

“That’s possible, right?” Shen Jiayan’s face had a hint of depression, “Actually, he is a good man.”

Black cat: “······” So Lu Yingfan was issued a good man card, right?

“So may I ask, Host, if you want to receive the next client, or have a little bit of rest?” The black cat’s whiskers trembled, it turned its head and asked Shen Jiayan

“Receive now!” Shen Jiayan raised his spirit.

“All right.”

This times employer unhurriedly walked in, a bright red robe embroidered with albizia flowers, no flower blooms after rubus rosa. His bare feet were smooth and white as snow. Against the red clothing1, it’s even more gorgeous, a striking contrast of colors.

""

With every step, the bell on his ankles made a jingling sound.

His face was covered but his exposed eyes possessed an unspeakable beauty. Even if the peach blossom trees were filled with blooming flowers, they were unable to match the gorgeous and tender appearance of the male.

This client was very beautiful, it’s that kind of beauty that makes gender indistinct. Even if it was Shen Jiayan, he couldn’t help but feel tenderness toward him, and gently softened his voice when he asked, “Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?”

“He previously said that monks are heartless and don’t love. They absolutely would not rashly be touched and set their heart on the mundane, worldly desires. However, why did he use such a reason to reject me while he ended up with my older brother?” This client said, as tears trickled down his white as jade cheeks, “I just wanted to know, if the courageous person was me, and if the person who bothered him was also me, would the ending become different?”

“Alright.” Shen Jiayan said in agreement, “So is this your wish?”

“Yes.” The client resolutely agreed.

“Okay, I will strive hard to fulfill your wish. Now: vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch or luck. You’ll have to choose one to give me.”

“It seems that I had never been lucky in this lifetime.” The client mockingly laughed at himself, “Then I will give you luck! Hopefully, you can have the luck to be with him.”

Shen Jiayan extracted a white orb of light from the client little by little, “It’s possible.”

After the client thanked him and left, Shen Jiayan told the black cat, “Give me the information about this client.”

“Yes, Host.”

The client’s name was Su Yichen, Prime Minister Su’s son from his favorite little concubine Liu Shi, also known as Su residence’s concubine-born gongzi2.

From a young age, he was bullied because of his exceptionally beautiful appearance which closely resembled his mother’s. All of the aristocratic children held him in contempt for his androgynous appearance. And as he grew older, this sort of bullying became a source of humiliation for Su Yichen.

Liu Shi passed away early on, Su Yichen had no background and Prime Minister Su didn’t attach any importance to him. Those aristocratic children continued to bully and became even more disrespectful towards Su Yichen for their own amusement, they absolutely did not feel any psychological burden.

Finally, they dragged Su Yichen to a deserted side room, planning to do something sinful to him. Su Yichen struggled as if his life depended on it, but to no avail.

But the moment he was about to give up all hope, Fan Yin rescued him.

Fan Yin, he was regarded as the dynasty’s most honorable monk. It was said that as soon as he was born, the whole sky was filled with multicolored clouds, and Sanskrit sound3

resonated through the sky; therefore the old Buddhist monk suitably gave him the name, Fan Yin.

Fan Yin could recite all of the Buddhist scriptures since he was seven years old. At the age of twelve, he wouldn’t lose to a Senior Monk. At the age of fifteen, a prayer made him famous.

Even the current Emperor significantly revered Fan Yin. In that case, one can well imagine the status of Fan Yin in the hearts of the common people.

When those aristocratic children saw Fan Yin, they were immediately scared witless.

Fan Yin draped his monk clothing over Su Yichen’s shoulders and asked Su Yichen if he no longer wanted to be subject to this humiliation.

After receiving Su Yichen’s affirmation, Fan Yin claimed that Su Yichen has a great amount of innate wisdom to be able to inherit his legacy, and said that Su Yichen was suitable to follow him in studying the Buddhist doctrine.  Fan Yin also said that Su Yichen’s horoscope was very noble and he couldn’t be easily insulted.

Up until then, no person dared to humiliate him again.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yichen sat in meditation to achieve enlightenment with Fan Yin. The more Su Yichen knew that there was a difference between Heaven and Earth between them, the more Fan Yin became unreachable, the deeper Su Yichen’s adoration grew; but he never dared to voice his feelings.

Su Yichen spent many years tenaciously suppressing his feelings, not daring to say anything;until one day, his brother Su Yun suddenly changed and became like a different person.

Su Yun became peerlessly attractive, with a noble temperament and very eloquent speech. Every word that came out of his mouth made Fan Yin exclaim in admiration, every random word he said and sang would bring great waves into Fan Yin’s eyes.

Su Yichen was finally unable to endure it, so he confessed his love to Fan Yin.

Without any hesitation, Fan Yin rejected him. Fan Yin stated that a monk who had taken the Buddhist Vows needed  to stay away from the filth and unrest of the world. The mundane world couldn’t stain him.

Starting from that day, Fan Yin began to avoid Su Yichen.

Su Yichen was aggrieved by Fan Yin’s avoidance. Therefore, he was naturally unaware that there was a plague in the North, and Fan Yin was ordered to bring some monks to proceed towards the North.

Su Yun, in the presence of the Emperor, was also decreed to leave, saying that he had a way to dispel the plague


When Su Yichen finally knew about it, the plague in the North had already been cleanly dispelled by Su Yun and Fan Yin.

 

The Imperial Emperor was greatly pleased, and held a welcoming banquet for the both of them. At the banquet, the Emperor promised to give Su Yun a royal decree.

Su Yun merely said that his heart was with Fan Yin, hoping that the Emperor would let him remain by his side.

There was no recantation of the Emperor’s words. Granted that this matter was said on the bright side.

From then on, no matter where Fan Yin went, he and Su Yun were the topic of conversation for the common people. Su Yun would always follow Fan Yin around and confess his love without any scruples.

One day, Fan Yin accidentally fell victim to a treacherous scheme and ate a dish laced with drugs by mistake. Afterwards, something happened between him and Su Yun.

Later, Su Yun stood in front of Su Yichen with Fan Yin and said that they were together, asking Su Yichen to bless them.

On the day of their big wedding, the Emperor presided over the wedding personally. While all of the people were celebrating, Su Yichen dressed himself from head to toe with red clothing  and jumped down from the tall city wall.

After reading all the information, Shen Jiayan inevitably sighed for the client, “Sure enough, a relationship that leads one to being obsessed and losing oneself wouldn’t last long!”

“Host, there’s something concerning about this Su Yun, you have to be careful.” The black cat licked its paws and prudently said.

Shen Jiayan also discovered this problem when he looked at the information, “Rest assured, I’m prepared.”

“In that case, Host, you can choose the mode now. Simple mode: The time when Fan Yin wasn’t met yet, 10,000 points. Normal mode: When meeting and being rescued by Fan Yin, 20,000 points. Difficult mode: When Su Yun was decreed to go together with Fan Yin to control the plague, 30,000 points. I want to ask, Host, which one do you want to choose?”

“Normal mode.”

“Okay, Mission Goal confirmed: Alter Fan Yin’s and Su Yun’s ending together, Hidden mission: Make Fan Yin fall in love with Su Yichen. Chosen mode: Normal mode. Golden finger confirmed: Luck. Shall we commence the transfer?”

“Transfer.”
