Shen Mozhen originally thought she had become the Netherworld King’s disciple by chance and had been chosen as the next Netherworld King. She never expected that all of it was a tribulation meant to turn her into a worthy Netherworld King.
Ji Shenjin originally thought Shen Mozhen was just a vain woman who had schemed to make me marry her. After we divorced, she disappeared for three years. Only when she returned did I realize that the woman who signed the divorce papers was the real her. The woman who had schemed to marry me before was merely a puppet, living in this world in her place. Later, I fell in love with her, and she became my salvation. But we could never be together, because she was the Netherworld King.
A female-led story with no CP (well, there’s sort of half a male lead). If that’s not your thing, don’t dive in. Everything related to mysticism in this story is purely the author’s imagination.
