In the first year of the Hongwu era, the forty-second Celestial Master of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Zhang Zhengchang, traveled to the capital with his son Zhang Yi to have an audience with the emperor. He arrived full of hope, only to have his title as Celestial Master stripped away by the emperor, leaving him dejected as he returned home.

Synopsis: She was born with unparalleled beauty, but that doesn’t mean she is truly “her.” He boasts a broad chest but lacks great ambition, yet that doesn’t mean he’s all brawn and no brains. In his eyes, she’s nothing but a dazzlingly wealthy, secretly masochistic, perverse little heiress, while in hers, he’s merely a small-time monk with supernatural powers who wishes for nothing more than to spend the rest of his life chasing women and savoring meat. At a public matchmaking event, an accidental tumble and counter-tumble spark a passionate (and comically mismatched) relationship between a schemer (truly devious) and a fool (pretending to be dim-witted). With the bridal veil over her head, she falls upon him; he, in turn, grabs her chest. Her conclusion: so he doesn’t love apples, he prefers carrots. In a solemn temple, with only a wooden fish drum to cover himself, he’s blackmailed with her virtue. He curses her: Rotten carrot, rotten carrot, rotten to the core. In the widow’s chamber, he kicks over the basket of carrots she brought, so she retaliates by withholding the braised pork the widow had prepared for him. He is furious! There are limits to what a man can endure! He, blessed (or cursed) with the strange ability to record and replay sounds, now can’t even get a proper meal. Beset by his own delusions of grandeur, he howls, “Rich lady, what exactly do you want?” She swaggers, her shoulders shaking and legs bouncing, “Little monk, all I want is union!” This is the story of a bald man who isn’t really a monk and a wealthy heiress who isn’t quite a lady, who join forces to battle monsters—only to end up, in true fairy-tale fashion, battling it out between the sheets. The supporting cast, no matter how outrageously equipped or deranged, ultimately serve only to play matchmaker and deliver divine assists, all under the guise of more noble intentions. “Master, do you not know there’s always gossip at a widow’s door?” “Amitabha, this humble monk knows only that she is already a widow, and I cannot let her live as one in vain.” “Master, are those who donate incense money considered your benefactors?” “Amitabha, that is true.” “Then if this benefactor commands you to marry me, why do you not only refuse, but also curse me to an early grave?” “Amitabha, such incestuous benefactors—may their souls be swiftly reborn!” “Master, when will you finally marry me?” “Amitabha, when my hair grows down to my feet.” “…” Since she met him, not a single hair has ever grown on his head! And so: Winter is here. What could be more heartwarming than a lighthearted, romantic comedy to enjoy after tea and dinner? As always, updates come every morning at nine. If you like it, add it to your shelf—the little monster of a heiress is waiting for you!.
