Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Durante a transmissão ao vivo das finais da Liga Internacional Júnior, seu primo, conhecido como um gênio do Go, estava extremamente ansioso. Por outro lado, a garota bonita de aparência familiar à sua frente estava calma e serena, derrotando-o com um único movimento. Seu melhor amigo bem-sucedido choramingou para ele: "Depois que a sua deusa se transferiu para cá, eu nunca mais consegui passar do segundo lugar." 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."

Can you share a best zen short story and its meaning?
In a Zen story, a group of monks were crossing a river. One monk carried an old woman across. Later, the other monks were shocked as they had a rule of no physical contact with women. But the monk who carried the woman said, 'I left the woman on the other side of the river, but you are still carrying her in your minds.'

It's about letting go of mental burdens and not being overly fixated on formalities.
