Little Marvel

Whenever people speak of Xiao Yu, they call him a man like jade. His appearance is as lovely as a jade tree, his bearing as noble as fine jade. A genius without equal, peerless in the world. Though a leg ailment keeps him confined to a wheelchair, his fearsome reputation makes enemies tremble more than even a mighty general could. "That’s right, he’s my brother!" The most beautiful woman in Jianye, Lady Chaoxi Xiao Miaoqing, declares: "My brother is not only amazing, he’s also especially good to me! He makes me pastries, does my hair and makeup, and even fills in my eyebrows. He never lets me suffer the slightest grievance! Isn’t he the best?" One day, Xiao Miaoqing learns that her mother was already pregnant with her by someone else before marrying Father Xiao. Xiao Miaoqing: "!!!" Swallowing nervously, she tugs on Xiao Yu’s sleeve and asks anxiously, "How will you punish me, Brother? Can you spare my life for the sake of all these years we’ve shared?" Xiao Yu gently strokes a piece of fine jade in his hand, remaining silent for a long while. Xiao Miaoqing grows so anxious she nearly throws herself at his legs. Then his hand stills, and instead he takes her delicate hand in his. "My Miaoqing is unmatched in beauty and talent, and I cherish her deeply. I wish to grow old with you, my darling, and share this splendid land with you for all our days." Xiao Miaoqing: "???!!!" Reader information and content warnings: * They are not related by blood. They fall in love only after the heroine, hero, and everyone in the country know they are not siblings. See Chapter 17. * There’s more to the heroine’s background than meets the eye. The hero’s leg will recover later. * The setting is partly fictional, inspired by the late Han dynasty and Three Kingdoms period. * Both leads are each other’s first, and the ending is happy. Currently updating: Married to a Neurotic, Giant Black Magpie Legend has it that when a fairy from the Loveflower clan falls deeply and purely in love, her true flower blooms. If the person she loves picks that flower, he can defy fate, but the fairy’s soul will scatter. Heng Wu is a Loveflower fairy. She heeds her mother’s advice, guards her heart, and keeps her secret identity concealed. For hundreds of years, all is well, until she meets her "destined one" on the day chaos erupts in the Ninth Heaven. Her destined one is dressed in spotless white, saves the beauty in distress, and treats her with tenderness to the core. Heng Wu falls for him and blossoms, only to receive the words: "At last, I’ve found you." It turns out he has a white moonlight in his heart and wants to take her true flower to defy fate and change that person’s destiny! On the brink of death, Heng Wu uses her true flower as a catalyst and sacrifices her cultivation to cast her clan’s forbidden art, turning back time. She returns to the day chaos erupts in the Ninth Heaven. A powerful villain is rampaging ahead, while her scummy ex-husband is scheming to stage another heroic rescue behind her. With all her cultivation gone and nowhere to turn, Heng Wu grits her teeth, rushes toward the villain, and throws herself coquettishly into his arms. "I like you, Big Black Magpie!" The powerful villain, the legendary ugly black magpie: "...Is something wrong with this woman’s head?" Life conspiring with the Big Black Magpie is no easy thing, largely because this bird is far too neurotic! To stay alive and regain the peak of her cultivation, Heng Wu pulls out all the stops: sucking up to him, playing the drama queen, and showering him with sweet talk... Keep her secret identity hidden, and hold tight to the bird’s leg! Just when victory seems within reach, her secret identity is exposed. The Big Black Magpie narrows his eyes, a murderous glint seeming to flash within them, yet his smile is utterly charming. "So you’re a Loveflower. Didn’t you say you liked me? Then why haven’t you bloomed, hmm? Heh..." Heng Wu: Oh no, I’m done for! Theme: Stand together through thick and thin, and never bend even when breaking.
