A gloomy, lovesick White Lotus girl vs. an aloof, unruly madman
[BG age gap, younger man + woman imprisons man + xianxia + two powerful leads + both virgins]
Li Ling discovered that her attention to Ji Hengzhi was rather unusual.
The young man was always alone. He kept others at a distance, yet had a powerful presence.
Li Ling thought he was like the beautiful young men in stories: jaded and troubled, waiting to be gently saved.
But she couldn't save him.
She was merely an illegitimate daughter of the Li family, forced into a marriage in someone else's place. She had to scheme her way through a den of vipers and could barely look after herself. How could she bring warmth to anyone else?
Then one day, as if fate had decreed it, someone as radiant as the warm sun appeared by Ji Hengzhi's side.
The girl's smile was bright and refreshing, and the young man's gaze lingered on her several times.
Li Ling felt confused.
She knew she wasn't a good person, but she had never harmed anyone. This time, though, she hid Ji Hengzhi away.
A frenzied, tangled captivity; a battle where neither would back down.
This vicious dog was covered in spikes from head to toe. He couldn't be tamed.
Later, Li Ling was forced by the crowd onto the Demon-Slaying Platform.
As she leaped from the cliff, the wind howled around her. She saw the young man hurling himself toward her with all his might.
Ji Hengzhi's eyes were bloodshot. “I hate you so much. How dare you die so easily?”
People heard that the God of Slaughter from the Upper Heavenly Realm had returned.
He searched heaven and earth, turning both the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld upside down, all to find the enemy he had sworn vengeance on.
The God of Slaughter vowed to skin her, scrape her bones, and devour her flesh.
P.S.
1. The woman imprisons the man. They clash at first, then he pursues her later. Happy ending.
2. The story begins in the mortal realm and later moves to the Immortal Realm.
3. The heroine is not sunny and positive. If that's not your thing, please don't read.
4. Please don't mistake the characters' opinions for the author's.
