[A career-focused, sharp-tongued heroine × a refined on the surface, scheming, double-standard, and considerate hero]
[Both leads are formidable fighters + seemingly sworn enemies + the hero has a secret crush on the heroine + monogamous, devoted relationship]
Lin Luoshu and Meng Xun, heirs to two of the greatest cultivation clans, are forced to transmigrate into a book after fighting over a peerless cultivation manual left behind by an ascended master. They become a pair of lovesick spouses in the story.
To return to their original world, they must each claim the throne in this mortal realm. So Lin Luoshu and Meng Xun, stripped of their spiritual powers, start making plans:
Meng Xun: “Of course we’re going back. Otherwise, who’ll inherit my vast fortune?”
Lin Luoshu scoffs: “Once you’re gone, they’ll forget you. The Meng family won’t miss you.”
Meng Xun: “Young Mistress Lin, we’re in pretty much the same boat...”
Lin Luoshu: “Exactly. So let’s discuss how to become emperor and empress. Why don’t we recruit all the talented people around that heartless male lead and put them to work for us?”
Meng Xun smiles, holding his folding fan: “Great minds think alike!”
Years later...
A group of “big catches” they’ve reeled in surrounds Lin Luoshu:
“Princess Consort, your marksmanship is incredible. Could you teach me?”
“Master, take a look at my new design!”
“Sister Shu, I made these desserts. Come try some!”
“Ah! It’s a shame the Princess Consort isn’t a man.”
Meng Xun’s face darkens. He comforts himself: Luoshu and I will leave this world eventually. For the next thousand years and beyond, she’ll be with me alone.
Hah! You ignorant mortals!
