The Beauty Is Light

[On the Executioner's Terrace, Fairy Lianyi stained her white robes with blood for the one she loved. Her words, "I am in love with Xiu Zhu, the Crown Prince of the Demon Realm," stirred the heart that Xiu Zhu had kept still for a thousand years.

Di Ku, son of the Heavenly Queen, and Mo Ge, a demoness, were forbidden to be together by the Celestial Realm. Lianyi drew the heavenly lightning meant for Di Ku onto herself. When asked which heavenly law she had broken, she lied and said she was in love with Xiu Zhu. Those words bound Xiu Zhu for the rest of his life.

A banished immortal, a demon god lost in the mortal world, and an immortal ruler sent down to undergo tribulations: like phosphorescent fire in the dark, their fates had long since formed an inescapable chain of cause and effect.

The realm mattered more than the beloved, so Lianyi willingly threw herself into three thousand fires of karma over those words.

Xiu Zhu could escape his fate, but not his choices. Even when a thousand years of cultivation vanished in a single day, he had no regrets.

A stone born with a heart full of love, and bamboo born without a heart: the Way is said to be heartless, yet it has a heart; it is said to have a heart, yet it is heartless.]

[Devoted second female leads are so pitiful, aren't they? I hate the heroine's halo more than anything. I want to write a story about a devoted second female lead.

A childhood friend adored by the elders will never measure up to the girl her childhood sweetheart loves, no matter how wonderful she is.

Princes always fall for Cinderella, no matter how much the neighboring kingdom's princess loves them.

I want to give this devoted childhood friend a happy ending. I wish her well.]

[The devoted second female lead from other stories is the heroine here! The author doesn't like Mary Sue heroines and adores devoted second female leads, so this story has just one heroine, a devoted second female lead. Don't be fooled by all the rich, handsome men at the beginning. Not one of them loves the heroine. Of course, it has a happy ending... No Mary Sue, no white lotus.]
