Qi Yusheng was born on Jingzhe.
That year, goose-feather snow fell without end across the Dongzhen Realm, crushing an immortal mountain.
Beneath the mountain, the ancient demons held in confinement took advantage of the chaos to escape and hide among mortals. From then on, peace was no more.
That same year, the Mother Goddess of Dongzhen named a divine pill, formed from the essence of heaven and earth, "Jueshuang,"
praying for the frost and snow to end and for peace to reign beneath heaven.
But the Demon King discovered the pill and stole it. The Divine God Jueshuang vanished from then on.

Qi Yusheng was picked up by her master, Jinyuan, and brought back to the Yue Lao Hall.
Jinyuan had no children, so Qi Yusheng learned to tie matchmaking threads from her.
After she was elevated to High God, she caused a major disaster.
She got into a dispute with the sinister and detestable Lord Yan Wang of the Hall of Life and Death. She had meant to get back at him by tying him to a hundred and eighty romantic matches,
but the love-match book lacked spiritual power, and somehow tied her to the other end of the thread herself.
Lord Yan Wang laughed. "Are you blind?"
The Matchmaker was furious. "Got the nerve to fight me?!"
"Sure. Pick a date."
"Oh, never mind. Why should I fight just because you say so?"
From then on, Qu Guichen remembered the idler from the Yue Lao Hall, while Qi Yusheng began to bear a grudge against the ruthless man.
That was until her master told her that if she did not undergo a tribulation and ascend to become a Chief God soon, this marriage thread would be impossible to cut.
Qi Yusheng readily agreed, then froze.
That tribulation...
That marriage thread...
Her master smiled warmly. "You and Qu Guichen must go through a lifetime of romantic entanglement."
-
She was the Everlasting Matchmaking God, in charge of mortal love and marriage, but had never believed that a feeling called "love" existed in this world.
To her, tying a marriage thread was just a matter of making a hand seal.
Until, in one mortal lifetime, Qu Guichen used forbidden magic to extend her life.
Three hundred years for a god, in exchange for thirty days for her.
After returning to the Dongzhen Realm and recalling that lifetime, an indescribable ache still stirred in her chest.
It was the first time she had ever felt such an intense emotion.
People really did possess feelings like this.
Love really did exist.
She once thought love was an embellishment that magic bestowed upon life, and hatred just another seasoning.
Only later did she learn that love lasted longer than hate, transcending life and death and crossing the boundaries of time and space.
It was not a gentle, endless rain, but a dampness one could never escape, through eternal life and death, again and again.
Qu Guichen was born a Sacred Slaughter God, in charge of life and death.
His lifespan nearly reached eternity, a commonplace thing for a god.
But Qi Yusheng was destined to perish in the Dongzhen Realm.
Love and hate waxed and waned, entangled without end.
She disappeared with her final hatred, leaving him alone, with no idea where to go.
If that flourishing love had been extinguished beneath that immortal mountain,
perhaps immortality would have become a curse.
-
1. They are 1v1 from beginning to end, and belong only to each other in both body and heart.
2. Many original settings; this is not traditional cultivation.
3. A touch of an ensemble cast, with no perfect characters.
4. It's a substantial story, best enjoyed as it updates.
