Married to a Big Black Magpie with a Snake Disorder

[Pre-collection: After Fighting My Archenemy to the Death, blurb at the end] They say that when a fairy of the Loveflower Clan falls deeply and truly in love, her fated flower will bloom. If her beloved plucks that flower, he can defy the heavens, but she will be reduced to a wandering soul. Heng Wu was a loveflower. She remembered her mother's teachings, guarded her heart, and kept her secret identity well hidden. For hundreds of years, all was peaceful, until the day chaos broke out in the Ninth Heaven and she met her “destined one.” Her destined one wore pristine white robes and had heroically rescued her. He treated her with such tenderness that it seemed to seep into her very bones. Heng Wu fell for him and blossomed for him, only to hear him say, “I've finally been waiting for you.” As it turned out, he had someone else in his heart, his unattainable first love. He wanted Heng Wu's fated flower so he could defy the heavens and change that person's fate! On the brink of death, Heng Wu used her fated flower as a catalyst, sacrificing her cultivation to perform her clan's forbidden art and turn back time. Returned to the day chaos broke out in the Ninth Heaven, she found herself caught between a rampaging villainous powerhouse and her scummy ex, who was plotting to play the hero and rescue a beauty. Heng Wu had lost all her cultivation and was trapped with nowhere to turn. She gritted her teeth, rushed toward the villainous powerhouse, and threw herself demurely into his arms. “I like you, you big black magpie!” The villainous powerhouse, the legendary ugly, black-as-night big magpie: “...Is there something wrong with this woman's head?” Life with the big black magpie was no picnic. That bird had a truly bizarre personality! To stay alive and regain the peak of her cultivation, Heng Wu pulled out all the stops: groveling, acting like a drama queen, and showering him with sweet talk... Keep your secret identity hidden and cling to the bird's leg! Just as victory seemed within reach, her secret identity was exposed. The big black magpie narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint seeming to flicker in them, yet his smile was utterly captivating. “So you're a loveflower. Didn't you say you liked me? Then why haven't you blossomed, hmm? Heh...” Heng Wu: Oh no, I'm doomed! A loveflower fairy with over-the-top acting skills X a big black magpie who's ugly, dark, and outrageously arrogant Both before and after being reborn, the leads are each other's first and only. The scummy ex will get what's coming to him. P.S. The big black magpie is ugly and dark in bird form. He's drop-dead gorgeous in human form. The male lead starts out in his true form as a big black magpie, but that may not last. Perhaps he'll turn into a big red magpie, a big green magpie, a big festive magpie, or some other beautiful bird...

Here's the blurb. Please add it to your collection: The Pure Goddess Bai Zhi died, fighting to the death alongside her archenemy of decades, the Ghost King Qi Yu. When she opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into Zi Yuan, the frail Third Princess of the Jiang Kingdom. People praised her celestial beauty and her crystal butterfly wings, as lovely as fine silk. They revered her for protecting all living beings. But now she was trapped in the useless body of Zi Yuan. Even after her father arranged her engagement to Wen Shu, the infamous, bloodthirsty heir of the Xia Kingdom, she kept climbing like a morning glory, refusing to give in to adversity. Then she discovered that Wen Shu was Qi Yu, the one she'd fought to the death with, also trapped in someone else's body. Fate had branded them with a curse that would bind them together for all eternity. Bai Zhi was furious. She would escape Qi Yu and return to being the goddess who protected the mortal world. Later, through a twist of fate, she briefly experienced a vision of the future through the divine power of a secret treasure. Her future self lay on a bed woven from clouds, nestled in Qi Yu's arms, their love tender and passionate. Bai Zhi threw up. The Ghost King Qi Yu is obsessive and unhinged, with a face as lovely as jade and red at the corners of his peach-blossom eyes. He is a beauty wrapped in a ghostly form, a demon wearing human skin. Everyone hates him for ruling over countless ghosts and slaughtering countless people. They don't know that he bears the grudges of millions and crawled out of a mountain of corpses, left to wander alone. He was even willing to bear the curse, “You will fall in love with the person you harmed, and your fates will be bound together for all eternity,” just to remove Bai Zhi, the Pure Goddess, from his path. Later, he took over Wen Shu's body and reunited with Bai Zhi. Because of the curse, he could no longer kill her, so he planned to corrupt her and turn her into a demon. Then he saw her heart belonged to Yun Hua Qing, and jealousy surged through him. He wanted to break all her limbs and imprison her at his side forever. Qi Yu thought he would never lose to a mere curse of fate. Later, Bai Zhi sat on his throne, her eyes empty as a puppet's. He, once so arrogant, knelt at her feet, eyes red as he clutched her waist and begged humbly, “Don't be like this, Bai Zhi. Please, say something, will you?” At first, Qi Yu said, “Being a goddess is wonderful. Everyone admires you, and Yun Hua Qing, the one you love, is proud of you.” Bai Zhi said, “Get lost.” Later, Qi Yu said, “Try the sweet peppers I made for you, your favorite. Try on the outfit I picked for you, and...” Bai Zhi said, “You're so annoying.” Theme: Keep your heart set on the greater path, shoulder your responsibilities, fight for a sliver of hope, and be reborn through the flames.
