Mrs. Aubree, "?” Mr. Aubree's company was in a crisis and was in desperate need of money. In his attempt to gain the richest man's favor, the rich man merely responded with a gaze full of despise.

When he participated in a variety show, a frail female guest appeared. She chopped wood with her left hand and pulled noodles with her right hand. Steaming, boiling, and cooking; everything was a piece of cake to her. As someone horrible at maintaining an orderly life, he was dumbfounded. During the live broadcast of the International Junior League finals, his cousin, who was known as a genius in Go, was extremely anxious. On the other hand, the familiar-looking beautiful girl opposite him was calm and composed, ending him in one move.

Until one day, he actually saw her discussing scriptures and Buddism with a group of old monks at an international Buddhist exchange. As she started to speak of Buddhist Dharma, Qu Feitai panicked… "You keep your six senses pure and saw through the vanity of the world, but I insist on dragging you here for a walk in the mortal realm. Worse comes to worst, you'll ascend to nirvana and I'll end up in hell."

This is NOT a hot-blooded, high-octane novel filled with conflicts and fights around every corner. If that is the kind of story you are looking for, unfortunately, you will not find it here (at least not in the early chapters). The MC is a modern man, with modern sensibilities. Conflicts are handled civilly, or avoided altogether. There will be fights, but the story does not revolve around it. The MC is mature, and handles relationships tactfully. There will be a slow-burn romance in this story, and ABSOLUTELY NO HAREM. I despise that genre from the bottom of my heart! I also have some LGBTQ+ elements planned for the future (with side characters). English not first language. Writing mistake? Please forgive. Proofread many times before upload, problems not much. If issue, then point out mistake, I correct immediate. I am thank you for you're understanding :) ALSO: I started writing this story with one intention in mind, and that was to act as a parody of existing novels with similar themes. However, around CH25, I realised that my work was becoming too derivative and boring. So I pivoted and decided to make my novel its own thing. I believe that my work has become better because of it.

Qu Feitai: "Quantas surpresas mais você tem que eu não conheço?" Até que um dia, ele a viu de fato discutindo escrituras e Budismo com um grupo de monges idosos em um intercâmbio Budista internacional. Quando ela começou a falar sobre o Dharma Budista, Qu Feitai entrou em pânico… "Você mantém seus seis sentidos puros e enxergou através da vaidade do mundo, mas eu insisto em te arrastar para um passeio no reino mortal. Na pior das hipóteses, você ascenderá ao nirvana e eu acabarei no inferno."

Zen, life is always Zen
The phrase "Zen in life" reflected the unique meaning of Zen in life. Zen language often contained a deep insight into life, human nature, and state of mind. According to the information provided, Zen taught people to face life with a detached, calm, and compassionate attitude. For example, Zen reminded people not to be influenced by external things." Things turn with the heart, the state is created by the heart, and troubles are born from the heart." This meant that in life, people's state of mind determined how they felt about things. If they could adjust their state of mind, they could reduce their troubles. Zen also emphasized letting go of persistence, such as " When you let go, there will be no worries "," Don't be obsessed with love, because separation is inevitable ", etc. Many times, people's pain comes from excessive pursuit of things. Letting go of these persistence can obtain inner freedom. At the same time, Zen advocated a positive attitude towards life, such as " Having good thoughts in your heart is the source of happiness. Do good deeds, you will get good fate. Be merciful and do good deeds, and people will be at ease." It reflected the importance of kindness and compassion in life. By maintaining good thoughts and doing good deeds, people could obtain peace and happiness in their hearts. Moreover, Zen inspired people to look beyond their limitations." What people are confused about is because they are inside the game, and what people understand is because they are outside the game." When they were caught in the trivialities of life, if they could jump out of their limitations and think from a higher dimension, they could understand a deeper truth of life. In general, the phrase " Zen in life " referred to Zen as a unique source of wisdom. It provided many inspirations about mentality, morality, cognition, and other aspects of people's lives, guiding people to a more peaceful, comfortable, and intelligent state of life. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!" The novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

The Story of Zen Master Zujie
Monk Zu Jie was an eminent monk from Sichuan during the Ming Dynasty. He was one of the proud disciples of Master Chu Shan, an eminent monk from the Linji Sect. He was familiar with the Sanzang and was proficient in Buddhism. Once, when he was ill and bedridden, Master Chu Shan went to visit him. Zen Master Daxin Zhenyuan was also there. Master Chu Shan pointed at Zen Master Daxin Zhenyuan and asked Monk Zu Jie," What is a heart?" Monk Zu Jie replied that he was 'merciless'. Master Chu Shan felt that this answer was not sincere. Monk Zu Jie had Zen Master Daxin Zhenyuan pay his respects to Master Chu Shan. Later, Monk Zu Jie's condition worsened and he groaned in pain. When Master Chu Shan visited him again, he asked if the scriptures and Buddhist teachings he had read in his life were still useful. Monk Zu Jie said that they were useful, but Master Chu Shan asked why he still groaned in pain since they were useful. Monk Zu Jie replied that it was okay to cry in pain and laugh when it was itchy. Master Chu Shan also asked where to settle down if he couldn't catch his breath. Monk Zu Jie replied that the sky was clear after the rain and the green mountains were still there. Master Chu Shan asked if they could meet again in the future after they parted. Monk Zu Jie replied that there was no time for them to meet again. Master Chu Shan was very satisfied with these answers. He said that he didn't seem to be sick, but Monk Zu Jie said that illness was irrelevant. In the end, Master Chu Shan held his hand and asked what it was. Monk Zu Jie withdrew his hands and put them together, saying that it was time for him to leave. Then, he sat up and passed away peacefully. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
