Arrogant, gorgeous powerhouse who can crush anyone x carefree, darkly clever young palace lord who is still growing
Chu Qingyin's perspective:
Chu Qingyin was an orphan with no one who loved her. One day, she transmigrated into the body of the young palace lord of the Mi Shen Palace.
She thought she'd gotten lucky, but the original owner was a fool who used her power to bully others and make enemies everywhere. She had little cultivation skill, was attracted to women, and was hopelessly in love with the eldest princess, who didn't return her feelings. She'd become a laughingstock.
No big deal. Living off the fat of the land sounded fine.
But with wolves circling her on all sides, she was forced to live in constant fear.
Just then, a golden finger fell from the sky.
Huh? Why is it a... beautiful, sickly woman, furrowing her brow and panting softly?
Chunyu Nian's perspective:
She was the most powerful person in Zhongzhou, but a traitor killed her, and she was reborn a thousand years later.
No big deal. She could just start over.
But her soul became bound to that of a useless junior. If one died, so did the other. They'd die if they went too far apart, and they even had to share a bed to stay alive.
Chu Qingyin glanced at her with a sly smile. "Everyone says we're closer than newlyweds. Since things are already like this, why not go with the flow and help me out?"
"In your dreams."
A few days later.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't help me?"
"I don't want to embarrass myself along with you."
Because their souls were bound, the Chu Qingyin Chunyu Nian saw was different from the one everyone else saw. For instance, she saw her kneeling in the snow, destroying her own left eye.
Chunyu Nian picked up the broken sword from the ground. After a long silence, she said, "I'll teach you swordsmanship. Real swordsmanship."
A few months later.
"Beautiful, can you teach me alchemy?"
A few more months passed.
"Actually, I'm not very good at gold-finding either."
Later, on their wedding night.
Chu Qingyin straddled her waist and leaned down with a smile. "You don't know how to do this, do you? Looks like you don't know everything after all. It's okay, I'll teach you."
Chunyu Nian cupped her face and spoke slowly, her voice alluring. "Who told you I didn't know how?"
I'll start posting once I have 100,000 words in reserve.
