Summary
Aubree, raised in seclusion among monks, returns to the prestigious Aubree family in River City, only to be met with cold indifference. The family dotes on the fake daughter while warning Aubree not to overstep her bounds. Unbothered, she spends her days in quiet contemplation, detached from worldly desires.
But when crises strike—her brother facing a lawsuit, her father’s company on the brink of collapse—powerful figures show unexpected deference to Aubree, leaving the family stunned. At a banquet meant to disgrace her, she instead captivates the crowd with her ethereal beauty and quiet strength.
Meanwhile, Qu Feitai, an untouchable celebrity and heir to immense wealth, finds himself repeatedly amazed by this enigmatic girl. She effortlessly excels in everything—whether chopping wood, playing Go against prodigies, or discussing Buddhist scriptures at international forums.
The more he learns about her, the more restless he becomes. “You seek enlightenment, but I refuse to let you go. If I must drag you into the mortal world, then so be it—even if it means I fall into hell.”
