[Science leads to the divine + A bride snatched from the underworld + Mutual salvation + A romance sweet and bittersweet]
Lin Wan is the internet’s most hard-line atheist, until the day all the data in her thesis turns into gibberish and a line of text appears in the air:
“Watch out, there’s a chandelier above you.”
The next second, the chandelier falls, but she is completely unharmed.
The “imaginary friend” who had protected her since childhood turns out to be real!
His name is Xie Ci, a high and mighty God of Fate.
He says, “Everyone has a guardian deity. Only you have inspiration that reaches the heavens.”
They spend their days together. He teaches her the mystic arts, and she teaches him physics.
Just when Lin Wan thinks happiness is within reach, Xie Ci suddenly changes.
Overnight, the god falls into demonic ways.
The underworld is abuzz with astonishing news: the Demon Lord Xie Ci is about to marry the princess of the demon realm. A grand bridal procession will stretch for miles, and the whole world will celebrate.
Everyone urges Lin Wan to let go, saying she is only an insignificant passerby in the god’s long life.
Lin Wan just smiles. She ignites their pact and tears apart the boundary between yin and yang.
On the road to the Yellow Springs, ten thousand ghosts block her way.
Dressed in white, she carves a bloody path through them and stands before the lavish wedding procession.
The demon lord, dressed in red, looks down at her, deep pain hidden in his eyes. “I’ve fallen into demonic ways. Aren’t you afraid?”
Lin Wan lifts her head, her eyes brighter than ever.
“If you become a demon, I’ll become a Buddha. If you marry her, I’ll steal you away!”
“Xie Ci, in this life, you’re coming with me even if we have to storm the gates of hell!”
Later, all three realms know that the lofty god is more afraid of his little darling shedding tears than he is of heavenly tribulation.
