[Timid yet brave, shameless old immortal Jiang Suining VS deeply devoted, short-lived Xie Xun, who never lives past twenty-five in any lifetime]
Ever since the reign of Qin Shi Huang, Jiang Suining had been a miserable wage slave.
Because she was a woman, the emperor ordered her to disguise herself as a man and serve as a eunuch attendant at his side.
Before he died, Qin Shi Huang even used her to test a medicine.
Unexpectedly, the medicine worked. It really did make her immortal.
Since immortality for mortals defies the laws of Heaven, Jiang Suining was cursed by Heaven.
She had to keep working, and she was doomed to be poor all her life.
All her life!
An ordinary person's life lasts at most a hundred years. Hers would go on forever.
From the Qin Dynasty right up to the modern era, she remained miserably poor. The moment she gained even a little wealth, she'd be punished severely.
She also had a hidden debuff: anyone who got close to her would become poor!
As a result, her two friends, few as they were, couldn't stand the poverty and left her.
Even the Committee for the Standardized Management of Supernatural Phenomena couldn't bear paying one person welfare for so many years, and eventually shut its doors on her.
As the world poured rain down on her, someone held an umbrella over her head.
Looking at the young man with his picture-perfect features, she said softly, “Get involved with me, and you'll be poor for the rest of your life.”
“I have plenty of money. I'm not afraid.”
His smile seemed to carry the weight of more than two thousand years of memories, striking the hollow place in her heart.
Her long-silent heart ached, and for the first time in ages, this old immortal felt like crying.
“Have we met somewhere before?”
“Is that really the oldest pickup line you could come up with?”
But in his heart, he thought: How could we have merely met? We've been entangled across lifetime after lifetime for more than two thousand years. I've tried every way I could think of to escape this fate, but in the end, I couldn't help finding you and falling in love with you.
I was attracted by the name and introduction, but I didn't expect the content to be more interesting. I like the character of the heroine and the setting of life and death.
