Synopsis

At the moment Jiang Lingxi suddenly died from overwork in the modern world, her consciousness sank into a warm embrace. She became a baby girl about to be born into the Jiang family of Chentang Pass. Almost at the same time, an infant cried out in the neighboring residence of Li Jing. She wailed her way into the world too, and both families rejoiced, promptly arranging a betrothal between the babies. As golden light pushed open the delivery-room door, she was in her wet nurse's arms, yawning, when she saw the white-bearded Patriarch Subhuti gently wave his horsetail whisk. His gaze fell on her first. “A soul from another world, born alongside the Spirit Pearl. Will you come and cultivate under my guidance?” Before she could wave her tiny hand in reply, the exquisitely adorable baby boy next door suddenly kicked his little legs and bawled, shaking the window lattice.

The patriarch chuckled and turned to the boy. “Never mind. The Spirit Pearl's violent nature needs the warmth of mortal life to temper it. Let Master Taiyi guide you instead.”

And so began the years in Chentang Pass, a dual cultivation journey for her and Nezha. She studied aura-reading with Patriarch Subhuti, able to see the fire surging within Nezha's Spirit Pearl. He trained with Master Taiyi in the use of the Fire-Tipped Spear, whose flames always curled around her fingertips. He would sneak sips of his master's immortal wine, then, drunk, burrow into her arms and say, “Lingxi smells like lotus flowers.” She wrote modern math formulas on paper and taught him to calculate how many Sea Yakshas a Cosmic Ring could hit.

When he was seven, Master Taiyi took him to a celestial mountain for seclusion. Before leaving, he gave her a charred lotus seed. “I raised this with my immortal power. When it blooms, I'll come back.” She smiled, holding the seed. “Remember to bring Master Taiyi's osmanthus cakes. I'll hide them for you so he won't find out.” Five years later, he returned in armor, his spear lifting clouds and rosy skies. But when he saw her, the tips of his ears turned red. He slipped a shimmering lotus bracelet onto her wrist. “Master says this bracelet will protect you. It's even more reliable than the Cosmic Ring.”

Stories with Nezha as the Male Lead

This story has really stayed with me. I just love Nezha’s arrogant, all-conquering attitude, that little baby in a bellyband with his chubby tummy bouncing around. He’s so adorable! Are there any stories where someone keeps Nezha company or dotes on him? Poor little Nezha just wants someone to kick shuttlecock with. I want to give him a hug.
