Five hundred years ago, Leyin was an imperial princess of the Xianle Kingdom and its future state preceptor. Born with music and blessed with good fortune, she was revered by the people of Xianle as the "God of Music."
Then, after her kingdom fell and her family was destroyed, Leyin was reborn as a sickly girl with "wooden bones and no meridians"!
A ghost so much as moves, and she faints!
An immortal so much as asks her a question, and she faints!
A person so much as looks at her, and she faints!
But if Su Boxian touches her, no way. He has to pay! Pay in spirit stones!!!
She flirts without realizing it, but the immortal she's teasing ends up secretly in love with her???
A fallen princess vs. an immortal elder of the cultivation world
A mischievous, charming beauty vs. a cool, reserved gentleman
A worker in the underworld who doesn't want to work and just wants to ship couples
[Blurb]
After Leyin died, she spent five hundred years slacking off in the underworld. Then she was reborn as a discarded daughter forced into a corpse marriage. Having just escaped with her life, she runs into an old acquaintance: the aloof Guanghan Jun of the Su family of Chu.
Weren't the head of the immortal sects supposed to be cool, ascetic, and free of worldly attachments? So why does he fetch her food and water, and why did he remember, for five hundred years, a joke she once made about planting a ginkgo tree in the courtyard, even going so far as to plant one in his private courtyard?
In her previous life, she teased him until his ears turned red, thinking it was just a funny memory from her student days, then promptly forgot all about it. Only later did she learn that on the day her kingdom fell, he broke the rules of the immortal sects to rush to her rescue. For the next five hundred years, he guarded an empty courtyard, not daring to ask even the slightest thing about her.
The underworld's team of ghost officials cheering him on all slap the table: It doesn't matter if our highness has forgotten because she's so absent-minded. We'll help you win her over!
A reserved immortal with a secret crush x a lively, sharp-tongued fallen God of Music. Mutual devotion, sweet and bittersweet in equal measure, with a steady stream of romance~
P.S.
1. This story leans toward plot-driven storytelling. The romance is delicate and understated, drawing on traditional culture (think of the unspoken, understood feelings between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber), though the characters themselves aren't like them.
2. There are no especially unusual ideas or gimmicks, just the lingering regrets of a traditional story. Expect cultivation, leveling up, and fighting monsters, along with devotion to country and family, a touch of an ensemble cast, and a touch of a strong female lead. There aren't any misunderstandings; they were separated by the realities of their kingdom falling and their families being destroyed.
3. The world includes the Divine Court, the mortal realm, and the underworld. The tone is tragic, but the language is humorous, with a style that blends semi-classical Chinese, poetry, and more conversational language.
4. The story is packed with laughs. The male lead is tongue-tied but shows his feelings through actions. His five-hundred-year secret crush is a genuine case of "quietly getting things done," and all the supporting characters are comedians.
Theme: Love isn't everything in life. What matters is how you feel.
