(The author likes Nezha from Black Myth: Wukong, so some parts may feel similar.)
Proud, ruthless god who kills instead of saving × spirited, unyielding innocent beauty
Erlang Shen, who obeys orders but not proclamations × cool-headed, rational Third Princess of the West Sea
“You're Marshal of the Central Altar? I don't believe it!”
“I'm sorry! Third Prince, I was wrong. Please forgive me! I beg you!”
“No matter what, I must go to the Marshal of the Central Altar's residence and serve him. I beg the Queen Mother to grant my wish!”
“For him, I'm willing to return to the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods!”
I submit this vow to the Heavenly Court and proclaim it in the Underworld, with all the celestial masters of the Nine Heavens as my witnesses. If I betray my beloved, I will have deceived Heaven, and for that crime I shall die and lose my cultivation. If my beloved betrays me, she will have defied Heaven's will, be erased from the Three Realms, and never reincarnate.
“True Lord Erlang, thank you for your wise guidance. I will repay you one day!”
“True Lord Erlang, one day I'll stand by your side openly and proudly!”
“I, your humble daughter, wish to take the Dragon King of the West Sea as my father!”
“My heart holds no one but Erlang, the one who has taken possession of it, not even the Manifest Sage True Lord Qingyuan. I wish you a smooth career, True Lord.”
The peach blossoms blaze on this auspicious day, perfect for a harmonious marriage. May your descendants flourish for generations, prosperous and thriving. With this, I solemnly pledge to grow old with you, inscribing our red-leaf vow in the marriage register.
“When immortals fall in love, the Three Realms fall into chaos! I have nothing to say about Erlang Shen and the Third Princess, but Nezha, how could you fall in love with a lowly flower spirit?”
In the Heavenly Court, where rules are strict and the order intricate, the rigid class barriers rise like towering walls, impossible to cross. Yet there are always those who dare to fight back!
“Old Jade Emperor, have you forgotten about me?”
