Rebirth of the Phoenix: The Demon Consort's Comeback
The haughty little Demon Emperor cries out, "I'm the Demon Emperor! How could I fall for a man, especially this fierce one? Let go! I'm not going through with this marriage!"
But the Demon Consort answers firmly, "You're going through with this marriage today, whether you want to or not!"
The winds shift, and the Demon Emperor once again ascends to power. He forcibly marries the master of the Xuanyu Sect, ruthlessly driving the Demon Consort out of the Demon Realm. He says coldly, "Mingyue, from now on, our bond as husbands is severed forever."
The Demon Consort isn't angry. He simply says, "Don't regret this."
Hmph! Why would he regret it? The Demon Emperor is only too glad to be rid of this cold-hearted man.
And yet, when that red-robed figure vanishes without a backward glance, the Demon Emperor's heart inexplicably turns cold.
"Mingyue, are you really going to sever our ties and cast off all worldly desires?"
"I should have done so long ago."
"We welcome the Southern Immortal Emperor back to the heavens!"
From that day on, the mortal world no longer saw the man in red. Only a white-robed immortal remained in the heavens.
"Mingyue, I was wrong! Will you come home with me?"
"Demon Emperor, don't joke. The Moon Embracing Palace is my home. Please leave."
"I'm not leaving unless you come back to Red Flame Ridge with me!"
"If he's still here in three quarters of an hour, throw him out."
Half the story is reminiscence, half is romance. A couple with questionable emotional intelligence: Xin Ke (top) x Li Mingyue (bottom)
P.S. This is an old work, and it's really over-the-top. It connects with the larger setting, so I revised and reposted it, but it's still really over-the-top! Please don't hold this story against my other works, QAQ.
