The Foolish Lord's Fine Husband

Her greatest wish in life was to always follow behind the High Priest of the Demon Palace. It would be even better if she could summon the courage to pour him a cup of the peach blossom wine she had kept hidden for so many years. She had once seen him at Yunlin Immortal Mountain and thought that no one could be more beautiful. From that moment on, he occupied her thoughts and heart.

Later, she accidentally ate a blood lotus seed that the Holy Mother had nurtured for a hundred years. The Holy Mother of the Demon Palace whipped her on the Five-Spirit Pillar until her skin split and her flesh was torn, leaving her drenched in blood. Yet the High Priest, whom she had loved in secret for a thousand years and who had always treated her well, watched coldly from the sidelines. He even personally offered her up to the Cloud Palace to atone for her crime.

Later still, she married the Palace Lord. But everyone in the Demon Palace knew that the Holy Mother's son was a fool. She stayed by his side for a thousand years, resenting him at every moment. If not for him, why would she have been lonely for a thousand years, reduced to a blood slave, spending ten years in an ice cellar and ten years in a furnace, enduring the torment of extreme yin and yang without end? Her lowly life had been nothing more than the price paid to restore the Demon Palace Lord's mind.

Before he truly became the Palace Lord, one day he asked her:

“A Li, what is a wife?”

“A wife is the person you love in your heart!”

“A Li is my wife. Is there room for me in A Li's heart?”

Looking into his hopeful eyes, she didn't know how to answer and ultimately said nothing.

But later, when cause and effect were reversed and love and hate came around again, she cried, “So the Palace Lord never had any feelings for A Li!”
