When facing enemies, Wen Yu says, “Don’t mess with me. My husband will bite you to death.”
When facing a romantic rival, Bai Jiuyu says, “What do you have that could make you a match for me? I can bring her back from the Yellow Springs. Can you?”
Wen Yu’s parents abandoned her in the countryside as a child, leaving her to fend for herself.
After tasting every bit of the world’s cruelty, she decided: Fine, fine, fine...
She’d live by a single rule: wreak havoc on everyone’s life, and fight back whenever something annoyed her.
When Wen Yu turned eighteen, the Wen family sent her up the mountain as a sacrifice. This was where her story began.
Bai Jiuyu lifted his eyes and deliberately glanced at the girl. “You’re my sacrifice?”
Wen Yu’s rule in life was simple: when it was time to admit defeat, don’t hesitate for a second.
Sacrifices never ended well. She dropped to her knees with a smooth thump and hurriedly shook her head. “Immortal, you’ve got the wrong person. I’m a good person, not some sacrifice.”
For many, many years afterward…
She put on an act, and he played along.
She insulted people, and he backed her up.
She buried people, and he filled in the holes.
When she caused trouble, Bai Jiuyu would say, “She’s still young and doesn’t know any better. If there’s a problem, take it up with me.”
Wen Yu was puzzled. Were sacrifices really treated this well these days? Maybe being a sacrifice for the rest of her life wouldn’t be so bad after all…
Until one day.
Wen Yu asked, “Go on, then. As your sacrifice, when have you decided to eat me?”
Bai Jiuyu replied, “Sacrifice? Haven’t I been raising you as my wife all along?”
(The plot doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, so it’s best to read without overthinking.)
