Jiang Miaozhen was famous as the most beautiful girl in all the nearby villages.
Starting at the age of fourteen, matchmakers nearly wore down the doorstep of the Jiang family.
Jiang’s mother said, “With my daughter’s beauty and family background, only a peerless hero is worthy of her.”
The Jiang family had farmed for generations. By the time her father came along, they had finally made something of themselves: he became a butcher.
Jiang Miaozhen wholeheartedly agreed and vowed to marry a peerless hero one day.
But she waited four whole years.
Miaozhen was rather troubled, but her way of easing her worries was to go pick mushrooms in the back hills.
She didn’t find any mushrooms on this trip. Instead, she came across a man covered in blood.
His bloodstained face was remarkably handsome, and though his clothes were in tatters, they were decorated with beautiful stones.
Her instincts told Jiang Miaozhen that this had to be the hero her mother had spoken of.
.
Su Wangyu had been the Holy Lord of the Immortal Capital and the Supreme of the Demon Clan. He had dominated the cultivation world, striking terror into the hearts of countless cultivators and demons.
After suffering a crushing defeat, he was consumed by resentment.
As he lay dying, he sensed someone approaching. When he opened his eyes, he saw a mortal woman looking at him with eager anticipation. “Young master, I saved your life, so you should repay me by marrying me.”
Su Wangyu thought the woman had probably guessed that he was someone important and wanted to use her favor to secure a marriage with a powerful man.
Su Wangyu had always disliked women like that.
But these were extraordinary circumstances, and he needed her to save his life.
Su Wangyu gasped weakly, “Miss, I already have a wife...”
“Sorry, my mother told me to come home for dinner,” Jiang Miaozhen said, abruptly standing up to leave.
Her mother had said that being a concubine meant a miserable life.
“...” Su Wangyu hurriedly called after the woman heading down the mountain. “But I do have a younger brother who’s still unmarried...”
Before he could finish, the woman turned right around and came back. “How did your brother get so badly hurt?”
Su Wangyu: “...” So she really was determined to marry into a powerful family.
.
Later, Su Wangyu’s true identity was revealed.
Jiang Miaozhen went to ask him, “Big brother, when will you let me meet my husband and marry him?”
Su Wangyu: “...Go home and get ready to be married!”
Jiang Miaozhen waited happily.
She waited until the bridal sedan carried her into the wedding chamber.
She waited until a red-flower-decorated scale lifted her veil.
Looking at the familiar face before her, she asked in confusion, “Are you two twins?”
Su Wangyu: “...”
Was there something wrong with his head back then?
