Longevity: After Tasting a Mermaid's Tears

[Immortality + Spatial Treasure + Character Growth + Slow Burn + Multiple Romance Arcs, No Fixed Couple]

Yuan Xi killed someone.

His name was Yuan Muzhi. He had saved her, raised her, and taught her to read and write. He was also her husband.

He died in the cabin, closing his eyes in her arms as blood soaked through her clothes. Holding the mermaid’s tear she had taken from a mermaid, she claimed it for herself without hesitation.

From then on, she would never age or die. She had gained an immortal body, but also fallen prey to the cruelest curse: “Yuan Xi, you will be lonely forever.”

She thought it was a blessing.

Gold hairpins, jade bracelets, fine clothes, grand mansions, and eternal life: she wanted them all.

She had once been greedy and vain, clinging to the heights, only to have her closest loved one sever their bond with a single stroke.

She had also once played at life, seeing through the hypocrisy of the powerful with cold eyes and scattering her family’s fortune amid the flames of war and the mortal world.
