If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Zhu Tingyue sent a message to Shen Yanqiu, saying, "Let's go check out the temple he mentioned today!"

She couldn't stand staying in the Shen family any longer. Shen Yingchu was autocratic, Madam Shen stood by and watched, and Shen Yanzhen was stubborn and unyielding. It made her furious.

She misses her parents! She wants to switch back with Shen Yanqiu as soon as possible!

Upon receiving Shen Yanqiu's reply, Zhu Tingyue drove to the old, run-down apartment that Shen Yingchu had mentioned to pick him up.

To be fair, Shen Yanqiu's company was indeed old and run-down, but Shen Yingchu just couldn't say that! He couldn't look down on Shen Yanqiu's hard work, which he had sold everything to acquire! He didn't deserve it!

"You didn't go to work today?" This was the first thing Shen Yanqiu asked when they met.

"Get out!" Zhu Tingyue glanced at him, her face full of impatience.

"I'm sorry, I apologize."

Not knowing what he had done to offend her, Shen Yanqiu quickly apologized.

"Hmph, buckle up, let's go."

Zhu Tingyue was too lazy to argue with him, so she stepped on the gas and sped off a long way.

"Um, how about we go slower?" Shen Yanqiu, in the passenger seat, gripped the overhead handle and cautiously offered his suggestion.

"Mind your own business! If you don't want to sit, then get down!"

Zhu Tingyue continued driving at the same speed, but Shen Yanqiu dared not speak.

Zhu Tingyue must have been mistreated at the Shen family's house today; she's taking it out on me! What can I do? I'll just have to bear it; it's my responsibility to bear it anyway.

They drove in silence, following the navigation further and further away, into increasingly remote areas. Two hours later, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where Shen Yanqiu had mentioned the temple...

Looking at the long staircase, the narrow path lined with towering trees, and the temple hidden somewhere, Zhu Tingyue asked Shen Yanqiu again, "Are you sure this is the place?"

"Well, this is it."

Although he was also puzzled, the place looked extremely desolate, with no one around, and the only people he saw so far were the two of them.

"Oh, let's go!"

Zhu Tingyue didn't want to climb it. This temple, hidden deep in the mountains, looked very mysterious. As for whether it was effective or not, who knew? But since she was already here, she might as well give it a try!

Shen Yanqiu was surprised that Zhu Tingyue could walk upstairs without saying a word. He had thought that, given Zhu Tingyue's temper, she would have to point her finger at him and scold him before reluctantly leaving! She has changed so much. It seems that the Shen family really trains people well!

Zhu Tingyue had no idea what he was thinking. If she had, she would have certainly done as he wished and given him a good scolding.

What do you mean by "the Shen family truly trains people"? Is that training? That's torture! Who did she suffer for? He did! Heartless! She knew it all along, there wasn't a single good person in the Shen family!

Zhu Tingyue was panting heavily. She hadn't done this much exercise in a long time. It felt like she'd been walking for ages, but looking back, she realized she'd only gone a short distance. Looking further up, there were still endless steps stretching as far as the eye could see. Was she going to die here today?

And Shen Yanqiu beside him was even worse! Not only was he far behind, but he had already rested three or four times, each time for longer and longer periods, and now it was the same.

He was panting heavily, unable to straighten his back, and lay weakly on a large rock beside him, constantly pounding his aching calves.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Tingyue seemed to regain her strength and continued walking uphill, calling out to him as she went, "Shen Yanqiu, what's wrong with you? Are you so weak now? It's just a few steps, a few stairs, and you're already like this at such a young age. What will you do in the future?"

Shen Yanqiu hated her to death when he heard this! Why couldn't he walk fast? It was all because Zhu Tingyue's body lacked exercise!

She can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything in her hands. Let alone climbing mountains, her feet hurt if she walks for a little while. I don't know why the young lady's feet are so precious.

Zhu Tingyue even mocked him? She used to work out every day, okay? She spent more time lifting weights than she walked!

How dare they look down on him! He'll show Zhu Tingyue what he's made of! He'll go back and train, trying to develop abs, biceps, and all his muscles as soon as possible!

He's going to turn Zhu Tingyue's body into a supermodel! Then let's see if she still dares to laugh at him.

Fueled by resentment, Shen Yanqiu quickened his pace, but remained a step behind. By the time he reached the entrance of the small temple, Zhu Tingyue had already rested enough.

"Are you tired? Take a break!"

Zhu Tingyue finally spoke something sensible. Shen Yanqiu looked up at her and made sure there was no mockery in her eyes before sitting down.

In fact, even if Zhu Tingyue mocked him, he couldn't stand up for himself; he was truly exhausted!

Zhu Tingyue looked around at the temple in front of her; it could be summed up in three words: old, dilapidated, and small.

Judging from the peeling walls and tiles, it must have a long history. The brick-red bricks have faded somewhat after years of wind and rain.

Clumps of wild grass grew at the base of the wall, seemingly untended. Zhu Tingyue walked across the small entrance in just a few steps; overall, the temple exuded a sense of desolation.

"Should we go in?" Zhu Tingyue hesitated, feeling uneasy, a strange feeling spreading through her heart.

"How about I go in and you wait outside?" Shen Yanqiu also felt that the place was too desolate, but since she was already there, she still had to go in.

Zhu Tingyue looked around; there were only trees and roads, and not a single person in sight. Leaving her at the door was less appealing than going inside with Shen Yanqiu!

"Let's go together!"

"Walk."

Without saying much, the two got up and left. They knocked on the door, and someone actually opened it!

There really are people here! Shen Yanqiu and Zhu Tingyue exchanged a glance, equally filled with surprise.

A young novice monk opened the door; when he looked down, the ordination scars on his head were visible. He led the two to a meditation room.

Sitting inside was a young-looking man with a long beard, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom; he must be Master Liaowu.

"What brings you two here?"

Shen Yanqiu replied, "Master, something strange has happened to us. We have swapped bodies and now we can't switch back."

Zhu Tingyue nodded emphatically beside him, looking at him with expectant eyes.

The master looked at them for a while, then turned his gaze to the door. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise."

The two were taken aback. What did this mean? Could it be solved?

"Master, can you solve this?" Shen Yanqiu pressed.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, let's go back."

The master said no more and waved them away.

The two of them climbed up with great effort, and came out with questions in less than ten minutes.

"What do you think the master meant by what he said?" Zhu Tingyue asked him, frowning.

"Taking it literally, it means that if it's a blessing in disguise, it's not a curse; if it's a curse, you can't escape it."

"Isn't what you're saying obvious? I even know that this quote comes from the Tao Te Ching!"

"You're amazing, you know everything!" Shen Yanqiu didn't know whether he was praising her or mocking her.

"Hey, we're being serious here!"

"This is the proper way! As the master said, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Let's take it one step at a time!"

Shen Yanqiu pulled Zhu Tingyue, who refused to leave, and walked back.

"Why aren't you sad? Don't you want to switch back?" Zhu Tingyue was surprised by Shen Yanqiu's attitude. Logically, he should be more anxious than she was.

"I am indeed anxious, but being anxious won't solve the problem. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. Even the experts have said that, so what can I do!"

"You really believe that?" Zhu Tingyue didn't think the master was very reliable, even though he hadn't asked them to donate money for lamp oil.

"Hey, we're still at someone's doorstep! How can you talk like that?"

With the mindset of "better safe than sorry," Shen Yanqiu pulled Zhu Tingyue to put their hands together and bow to the temple gate before giving up.

Unexpected events can happen at any time, and misfortune can strike at any moment. Then, an accident occurred!
