[Two male leads + play the pig to eat the tiger]
Lin Yanlai dutifully follows ancestral custom and goes to offer incense and sacrifices at the Water God Temple.
The instant a white-robed immortal falls from the sky and smashes a huge hole in the temple roof, he heads back to the village and immediately gets himself a “husband” and a massive debt of 420 low-grade spirit stones.
Lin Yanlai’s head is spinning. He seriously suspects he must have accidentally eaten a Forgetting Love Pill without realizing it, and forgotten every bit of some old romantic entanglement.
He rummages through his pockets and scrapes together twenty low-grade spirit stones. A man’s dignity burns bright.
“Change the marriage contract for me!
[Wife: Cang Yue, husband: Lin Yanlai!]
Otherwise, I’ll jump into the Linshui River. I’d rather die than admit to this debt!”
The old village chief cheerfully pockets the spirit stones, then patiently tries to make peace. “Xiao Lai, married couples mustn’t let their tempers get the better of them. Go home and talk things through with your wife.”
And so, by a twist of fate, the white-robed sword cultivator immortal who smashed through the temple roof and was renowned throughout the cultivation world for his peerless killing prowess is declared the “wife” who married into his household.
This accidental marriage, caused by a man falling from the sky and smashing a temple, sends them off on a journey to pay back their enormous spirit-stone debt.
