My Junior Sister Smells So Sweet

Cool, aloof immortal maiden x resilient little white flower

Both pure, HE

In Shen Qingyi’s eyes, Du Yuanluo had always been a shameless, seductive woman, bringing all those green-tea tricks from the mundane world into her place of cultivation, Yun Yin Peak.

Not only had she stolen Shen Qingyi’s fiancé, Jiang Linchuan, she also often played the weak, wronged victim to win sympathy, even blaming her injuries and illnesses on Shen Qingyi. As a result, Shen Qingyi, the sect leader, earned herself a reputation for being harsh and jealous despite her talent for managing the world.

But when Jiang Linchuan joined forces with the Demon Sect from within and without to massacre Yun Yin Peak, the disciples either died or fled. Only Du Yuanluo, with her meager cultivation, resolutely stayed by Shen Qingyi’s side and fought until the very end.

She told Shen Qingyi, who had suffered a crushing defeat, “You are a good sect leader. Your disciples would follow you to the death.”

Time turned back. Having lived another life, Shen Qingyi looked at Du Yuanluo, whose green-tea charm had grown even stronger, and decided to tolerate her little flaws for the sake of her righteousness.

Who knew that once she put her prejudices aside, the more she got to know this green tea, the more she liked her? No wonder everyone loved little white flowers. Even Shen Qingyi, who had cultivated immortality all her life, was no exception.

Du Yuanluo had been called a jinx since she was little. Anyone who got close to her was doomed to terrible luck. She kept retreating until she had nowhere left to go, yet she could never escape the malice of the world.

Even she herself came to believe that every disaster was her fault.

Until she met Shen Qingyi, the immortal maiden above the clouds, who told her, “Fortune and misfortune do not come uninvited. People bring them upon themselves.”

“You are wonderful. I’m lucky to have met you.”

Cool, aloof immortal maiden shouldering the world x earnest, kind, slow-witted physician

What kind of decent person marries the same person three times?

The first time, she married for love and asked for nothing but to stay by your side.

The second time, she married for money and status, demanded three formal invitations and refusals, and insisted on being welcomed from a thousand miles away.

The third time, she wanted nothing at all. She wanted your life!

Zhu Yunshu has been married twice. Her first spouse was Lin Zhuxin, a peerless prodigy in a league far beyond her. By chance, Zhu Yunshu saved Lin Zhuxin’s life, so naturally she expected Lin Zhuxin to repay her by marrying her.

She went to join hands with her beloved, her heart full of joy and shyness, only to be publicly scolded at the wedding for trying to use a favor to force a marriage and for indulging in wishful thinking. Overnight, she went from a sparrow who had married up to the laughingstock of the world.

Her second spouse was still Lin Zhuxin, but this time their positions were reversed. After failing her tribulation, Lin Zhuxin’s mind returned to that of an innocent young girl. Zhu Yunshu, guided by a healer’s benevolence (no, actually, she was destitute and wanted a hefty fee), saved her.

But with her impaired mind, Lin Zhuxin was far more endearing than she had been in the past, when she was so proud and lofty. With the pure, sincere heart of a girl, she knew nothing of weighing the pros and cons, only that they had to depend on each other.

Zhu Yunshu admits she has no backbone and fell for her again. But once bitten, twice shy. You were the one who drove me out last time, so if you want me back, you’ll have to meet a whole list of conditions.

Her beloved welcomed her back in a grand sedan chair, with a path of colorful clouds laid out for her, traveling a thousand miles to bring her home once more. But at the wedding, another immortal maiden, far superior to her in every way, appeared and declared that she and Lin Zhuxin had long been betrothed, scolding Zhu Yunshu for taking advantage of her vulnerability.

How could someone as proud as Lin Zhuxin be trapped in a love affair that brought her no benefit? Once her mind recovered, she cast her wife aside like an old shoe and joined hands with an immortal maiden who was her equal.

Zhu Yunshu knew they could only drift farther apart. She watched Lin Zhuxin rise to success and devoted herself to cultivating her medical skills.

But after Lin Zhuxin successfully passed her tribulation and achieved fame and success, she came back again. Having learned her lesson twice, Zhu Yunshu finally saw the light: if you can’t hold on to the sand, you might as well scatter it.

Zhu Yunshu had moved on, but Lin Zhuxin couldn’t. The sand she scattered wouldn’t stay away; it kept coming back on its own.

The above is Zhu Yunshu’s one-sided perspective. No scum, no shamelessness, both pure, HE
