Wu Xun was fated to undergo a romantic tribulation.
Overcoming it was simple enough: descend to the mortal realm and live as an ordinary person for one lifetime. Once her husband died, the tribulation would naturally be over.
After returning to the Upper Realm, however, she discovered that her romantic tribulation had not ended.
Her supposed husband had also been a cultivator who descended to the mortal realm to undergo a tribulation, and he was still very much alive and well.
More delighted than disappointed, she secretly went to find him, only to be met by a pair of smiling, bewildered eyes. "Fellow Daoist, who are you?"
Wu Xun: "..."
She did not tell him what had happened in the mortal realm. Instead, she went back and crafted a puppet identical to her husband.
Now that she had a companion, she naturally would not waste her thoughts on someone unrelated to her.
But she never expected that while crafting the puppet, she would accidentally mix in a wisp of someone else's primordial spirit, someone who had sneaked in...
Yan Shaoling had a problem lately.
After returning from undergoing a tribulation in the mortal realm, an unfamiliar immortal maiden showed up at his door, apparently bearing a grudge against him from their time in the mortal realm.
But it also seemed there was more to it than that.
Wu Xun was usually cold and sharp-tongued toward him, keeping everyone at arm's length. Yet behind his back, she had secretly made a puppet identical to him.
He thought she meant to curse him in secret, but then he saw how tenderly she treated the puppet, even holding it and wiping away tears.
Yan Shaoling couldn't make heads or tails of it.
What kind of strategy was this?
