Blurb: Her biological father and stepmother scheme against her at every turn, determined to seize the old house her grandmother left her. To get their hands on the bride price, they even find her an elderly man more than a decade older than her to marry as his second wife. Is she the kind of person who would let others walk all over her?
Luckily, there's a way out. Her grandmother's narcissus bonsai holds a secret: it actually contains an immortal lord!
Wen Xiaonuan gazes at him with shining eyes. "Isn't that a deity who cultivates immortality? Am I about to strike it rich?"
The immortal lord is a tragic beauty. His body and golden core have both been destroyed, and he keeps demanding spirit stones, spirit plants, and immortal herbs to rebuild his body.
Only belatedly does Wen Xiaonuan realize that this immortal lord is a bit of a money pit. She can't afford to keep him!
Immortal Lord Yunxuan scoffs. "Do you think I need a little girl like you to support me?"
Wen Xiaonuan: "Y-you... you're a fraud! You're either after my money or my body."
Immortal Lord Yunxuan: "N-no, I have absolutely no designs on your body. I just need to borrow it for a little while."
Wen Xiaonuan covers herself with both hands. "It's my body! How can you borrow it? If you use it, what am I supposed to use?"
Immortal Lord Yunxuan looks innocent. "Who was just crying and begging for help? I had no choice."
Wen Xiaonuan bursts into tears. So the cool and composed immortal lord was only pretending all along!
Note: This isn't a cultivation novel, just a romance with a touch of the supernatural!
