[Fight First, Become Friends Later] [Devoted Possessiveness] [Feel-Good Power Fantasy] [Mutual First Love]
The little guardian whom the Netherworld King's palace's own King of the Underworld cherished most had only just learned that people from the underworld had plotted to kill the King at his birth when she was murdered herself. Her soul drifted through the world for a thousand years, until the pitiful young lady of the Jun family offered all her blood as a pact to bring her back to life. The second daughter of the Jun family had been left in the countryside for decades by her father, the minister. When she was finally summoned home, she thought she would be welcomed like a young lady of noble birth. In reality, she had already been condemned by everyone before she even returned. Her white-lotus of a sister stole her rightful engagement, and on the way back to the capital, paid people to try to violate her.
"Jun Jiusheng, oh, Jun Jiusheng. With your clothes in rags, you must have been up to something shameful, haven't you?" one of the Jun family ladies said, eyeing her with a mocking sneer.
"Oh? How much of this was your doing?" Jun Jiusheng smiled. She didn't know that, after making the proper return through the city gates, she had lost face in every possible way. The Minister Jun's household had disgraced itself completely. I don't mind making a scene...
What a pity. After her body died and her soul dispersed, another soul inhabited that same body. Now she can tear into the scumbag men and wicked women, wield the art of reincarnation in one hand, and protect herself with spiritual power in the other. Come on, let's see who dares get close. With talismans in one hand and spiritual techniques in the other, she'll beat them until they're crying for their mothers, wishing they were dead and unable to die.
But why doesn't this young marquis play by the rules? In the days of his youth, dressed in fine clothes and riding a fine horse, he stood on Chang'an's ten-mile street, silver armor at his side, his features cool and aloof, with an army stretching tens of thousands of miles behind him all the way to the frontier.
"You look a little familiar to me," Li Yu said, looking at her.
"My lord, do you mean I look familiar as a guardian of the Netherworld King's palace, or as the second young lady of the Jun family?" Jun Jiusheng asked with a faint smile.
"Naturally, you look like my betrothed."
