Proud, love-struck immortal who refuses to admit it × A coldhearted mortal underling who fears death
Office worker Yang Qianli accidentally transmigrates to ancient times, kills her father-in-law by landing on him, and is tied up by his family to be made a bride. She assumes she's landed in a household-intrigue story.
Faced with debts that never seem to end, she promptly packs her things and runs away.
Captured by villains and saved by a demon, she finds that this powerful fox demon narrows his eyes at her and demands that she, a mere mortal, steal the Feather Clan immortal lord's peerless treasure, the Xuanyou Heart-Shielding Umbrella.
Her: You've got to be kidding me!
Looking at the map, she finds it strangely familiar. It looks like the cultivation-exploration game she played before transmigrating.
After a series of twists and turns, she actually finds herself at an immortal sect, face-to-face with that crystalline, immaculate immortal from the painting.
She is instantly smitten. The person she was supposed to approach is this gorgeous!
Yang Qianli makes inquiries and learns that the immortal lord suffered heartbreak. His faithless woman had flirted with everyone in sight, then abandoned her husband and child.
The immortal lord's rage left him with a lasting injury. From then on, he stopped believing in love, severed his romantic attachments, and devoted himself to the Dao, sealing away the memories of his past. Everyone in the immortal sect refuses to discuss it.
He's hard to get close to, but his seven-year-old daughter happens to love sticking to her.
Fearing that Yang Qianli might go astray, her fellow disciple kindly warns her, "Immortal Lord Qingyuan hates three kinds of people more than anything: first, anyone surnamed Yang; second, anyone who mentions the faithless woman; and third, anyone who approaches him on purpose."
Her: ...I check every box.
After several attempts to get close to him, all she gets in return is cold indifference. A man's heart is harder to fathom than the deepest sea.
Worse, Yang Qianli finally realizes that this is the world she quit playing.
The utterly wicked, faithless woman is none other than her, after she abandoned her account and ran off.
If he finds out, won't she be done for?
She pretends to be in love with him and plays along. Once she's stolen the umbrella, she plans to go down the mountain and find the fox.
But it's already too late to run.
The cold-faced immortal lord grips her wrist. It turns out he laid a net across the immortal mountain long ago. His eyes have lost all clarity as he demands, "Yang Qianli, where are you planning to run off to this time, abandoning me and our daughter?!"
She immediately puts on a frail act and turns on the fox demon. "Spare me! The Heartmoon Fox made me do it! If it hadn't poisoned me, how could I not love you most of all?"
Everyone around them looks furious. "Immortal Lord, she stole your bonded treasure. She's obviously lying and has ulterior motives!"
Chu Qing says, "She's clearly realized her mistake. I'll decide what to do about this. You may all leave."
Even he didn't expect to protect her. It was almost instinctive.
Reader's guide:
1. The heroine has romances with male supporting characters at different stages, but there is only one male lead.
2. The heroine chases her husband and goes through hell to win him back. She's essentially a fickle woman who plays around, but as a mortal, she'll have a very hard time of it. The man hates her to the core early on and is especially arrogant and rude. Later, he goes mad with unrequited longing.
3. The male lead is a white phoenix of the Feather Clan, with a special reproductive method. This isn't strictly a male-pregnancy story.
4. A melodramatic story written to cater to particular tastes.
