The Dust on a Silent Heart

share time: 2025-10-06 06:00:41

Lingxi, a young nun at Shouxin Nunnery, had guarded her heart against worldly ties for a decade, living with green lamps and ancient Buddhas. Until one rainy night, she saved Gu Zhao, a severely wounded swordsman. For the first time, she felt her heart race—her fingers shook when applying medicine to him, she feared being caught by her master when sneaking him vegetarian food, and she forgot her scriptures when shielding him from pursuers' blades. But the secret letter in Gu Zhao's arms holds the list of rebels the court wants to kill; the prayer beads on her wrist carry her master's last wish: 'Never touch the dust.' When pursuers break down the nunnery gate, she clutches the blood-stained beads and realizes: The moment her heart stirred, it already bore the dust of desire.
