I Turned Over a New Leaf for My Wife

Xie Chuanliu is a nobleman of the Great Ci Dynasty, a virtuous minister beloved by all. His nature is like a snow lotus: gentle and courteous. He once saved the dynasty from the brink of ruin all by himself, and the entire court regards him as a living deity.

Xie Qianjiu is the Great Ci Dynasty's Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, a living King of Hell feared by everyone. His wicked nature, erratic conduct, and unpredictable temper have made him guilty of so many heinous crimes that three days and three nights wouldn't be enough to list them all.

Yet these two men, who have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, have been seen meeting in secret.

A paper umbrella, a white robe, appearing on the stone bridge.

A folded jade fan, a red robe, waiting beneath the bridge.

The man as graceful as jade smiled faintly down at him from the bridge.

"You're late."

The man in red waved his fan and smiled too.

"Since Lord Xie has such a reputation for compassion, surely you can spare a little kindness for me."

Just then, it began to rain.

Xie Qianjiu walked onto the stone bridge with his umbrella and opened it above Xie Chuanliu's head, his smile unchanged.

"If you want to punish me, shouldn't we at least wait until we've taken shelter from the rain?"

They strolled together in the rain.

"What do you think of my proposal, Commander?"

"Does Lord Xie mean your suggestion that I mend my ways, abandon evil for good, and work with you for the people of the realm?" Xie Qianjiu's face was openly mocking. "Lord Xie is so used to playing Bodhisattva that now you're building a temple right in front of me."

Xie Chuanliu smiled gently. "I can't speak for everything, but though you don't follow convention, Commander, you aren't a villain who commits every evil under the sun."

"When the floods hit Jiangnan, you were serving as an inspector. To save the refugees, you gave up your own interests and spent the entire night standing in the river to repair the dike. That kindness was genuine."

"Then Lord Xie has misunderstood. You know what they say: a leopard can't change its spots. What hope is there for someone like me, with one foot already in hell? That moment of kindness was just a whim. It meant nothing." Xie Qianjiu said this without a care.

But when he saw the man beside him frown, he continued slowly, "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

His vision blurred. A slightly warm hand caressed his waist.

Xie Chuanliu looked up to find that androgynous face gazing at him, filled with a dozen parts affection:

"Unless Lord Xie would be kind enough to play the true Bodhisattva for once, take in this evil spirit, and become the loving husband everyone envies."

"I'll give up evil and follow the good, becoming your devoted disciple and praying for your blessings every day."
