Fantasy + heroine ascends to immortality + a journey through different regions
[Content warning: The romance between the leads has a sad ending, but neither of them dies by the end.]
(At heart, this is the story of a lazy heroine who cannot lie flat and, with the help of her former-life master, ascends to immortality again to get back to work.)
Xiu Yu Xueyan, princess of the Xiu Yu clan in the Southern Lands, was once an outstanding student at Frost Plum Academy. Then the Wu clan rebelled, and an entire class of students, including her, were killed or wounded. The ambitions of youth were buried beneath the snow.
After thirteen years of silence, the royal family ordered her to marry into the Zhongli clan of the Western Lands. Wounded and amnesiac, Xiu Yu Xueyan did not recognize old acquaintances. She only wanted to establish herself, strengthen cooperation between the two lands, and leave as soon as possible. After all, she had her dowry, so she would never have to worry about food or clothing again. But she never expected her former self to have set her up: the lost mermaid’s tear was in her fiancé’s possession, and the whole world had heard about it. For a time, everyone assumed they were a loving couple.
The world is in turmoil again, and war is about to break out. The Underwater Palace, Fox City, the wastelands... Is there any place in the world where one can find peace?
Two different paths gradually come into view before Xiu Yu Xueyan.
Which will she choose?
“To the south of heaven and earth lies a mountain called Luofu, covered in plum blossoms. The True Immortal Du guards its gates, and the Plum Immortal has made it her sacred ground.”
In this fleeting world, partings at Willow Bridge are inevitable. The mortal world is hard to leave, and sorrow wells within. Blood rains down like a lament. When will the clash of arms end? The stars no longer shine as they did last night. It is cold up high, too cold for thin clothes. The waning moon lights the falling crimson blossoms. The Jade Splendor Tower is bitterly cold to the bone. The paired fish are shattered, leaving only the diamond-shaped mirror. The Dragon Girl’s pearl melts into the wine in the cup. Do not dwell on it, it was all a dream.
There are not enough twists and turns, but it is antique. If you are patient, you can watch it. If you are impatient, you can come in and scold it.
