The Chancellor's Husband

To avoid the succession struggle, the Yi family of Pingyang forced a commoner man, Wei Dongyang, into marriage, citing an engagement arranged by their elders before the children were born. Yi Yunqing, the Yi family's eldest legitimate grandson, was handsome, dashing, and graceful. He could recite books at three, write at five, and had opinions of his own by six. He was a true prodigy. Wei Dongyang was unremarkable in appearance, born and raised a commoner. He disliked showing off and had no particular talent to boast of. Often, he couldn't get a single word out for half a day. He was a commoner among commoners. One was bullied by his legitimate second uncle in the capital, the other framed by his eldest uncle at home. These two people, who should never have crossed paths, were forced together. Coming soon: Shipping the Most Impossible Pair in the Mysterious Arts A wise man of the mysterious arts predicts that spiritual energy is about to return. To deal with supernatural incidents from all sides, the country's leaders and the elders of the mysterious arts agree to establish a special task force outside the official system. The special task force roster: Captain, "Sword Fanatic" Gu Lingjun: I have a sword that slays demons, destroys fiends, suppresses evil, purifies souls, and removes corruption. Its power resounds across the land, and nothing can withstand it! Deputy Captain, "Demon Bell" Liu Rushi: I have a bell called Soul Anchor, Dreamlike, Soul Suppression, Spirit Shock, Retrospection, Deliverance, Divine Descent, and Godslayer! Member, "Demon-Hating Fiend" Pei Ci: I have a kasaya that commands all things, saves all beings, echoes through samsara, and probes past and present lives, transforming countless karmic ties! Member, "Witch" Hua Yan: I have a silk ribbon that can bind immortals above and ghosts below. It can split into three thousand, and three thousand can multiply into countless more! Member, Lu Jiang: Everyone above is a big shot. I'm the only nobody. Everyone: The chief and the elders really have something up their sleeves. This team lineup is enough to make your vision go dark, yet it's thrilling in its own way. With all four prodigies of the mysterious arts gathered together, anyone who doesn't ship them is no human being! I ship them to death. Every day, the moment I open my eyes, I'm shipping them... But no one dares ship "Sword Fanatic" with "Demon Bell." #How do you feel about all the couples you shipped turning out to be a flop? #I want to die (pinching my philtrum and frantically trying to revive myself, oh my god, I never dared even dream this impossible couple would become canon. Let me go wild first) Theme:
