Ye Bingshang (Tian Huan) x Xiao Lin (Sang You)
[Self-serving villainess and white-lotus heroine x gentle, kind little demon emperor hero]
A shameless story written for laughs, born from a fit of madness. Don't scrutinize it.
Saintess Tian Huan slaughtered every member of the Mo River merfolk. To save her people, the Old Clam King activated a space-time array and sent Sang You, the young clam clan heir, back five hundred years to find the strand of the saintess's kind soul that she had lost. Only when that good soul returned to her could the clam clan be saved.
Bearing this mission, Sang You took on the identity of Xiao Lin, the sixth prince of the human realm, and began a journey bound by fate with Ye Bingshang, a concubine-born daughter of a general's household.
Ye Bingshang had never been sincerely loved, not once in her life.
Her elders favored legitimate children over those born to concubines, her legitimate younger sister bullied her maliciously, and the men in her life, their emotions manipulated by the red threads of fate, only coveted her beauty. No one truly cared for her, and she believed she would never love again.
Until later, when they first met at a palace banquet, and their final parting in the lonely city severed the red thread of fate that belonged to her.
