Azure Concubine

[This is my second book, so please be kind if it's not very good!!!]

Plot synopsis:

The secretive Yellow Springs Inn sells anything in the martial world, as long as you have enough silver. Over the years, it has become famous throughout the martial arts world.

But who would have guessed that the innkeeper, rumored to be ruthless and decisive, is actually a miserly boss who heartlessly docks his employees' wages?

“Same as always, fifty percent.”

After having her wages docked countless times, Shen Bi finally snapped. “Money, money, money. Why don't you go extort someone else instead of spending all day trying to empty my purse? Just answer me: are you going to help or not?”

He set down his cup and smiled calmly. “I'm very expensive, you know.”

She was about to argue when she suddenly smiled. “What a coincidence. I like getting things for free.”

His hand paused. Just as she thought she might finally have a chance of getting paid, he said:

“All right. How would you like to get me for free?”

“...”

Synopsis:

The deity Sui Chusu was demoted for a reason, and must endure seven lifetimes of romantic trials before she can ascend again.

After experiencing six lifetimes of romantic trials, Ning Sui Chu finally regained the memories of her past lives after reincarnating into her seventh. Thinking back on the miserable mess of her first six lives, she decided to cultivate the Heartless Dao and ascend as soon as possible.

But after she joined the Heartless Dao and became a disciple, she discovered that...

Her eldest senior brother, who spends his days traveling the world and saving lives, was her husband in her second life. Her hot-tempered junior brother, whom everyone avoids, was her husband in her third life. The seductive and brutal Demon Lord was her husband in her fourth life. The unruly demon spirit sealed inside an ancient sword was her husband in her fifth life. The ancient beast wreaking havoc across the land was her husband in her sixth life... And her master, who sits in the highest seat, attained the Mahayana stage long ago but refuses to ascend, was her husband in her first life.

Just as she was thinking that she had to cling tightly to the Heartless Dao, the little disciple she had taken in raised his head.

“Master, according to this fate chart, I'm your husband in your seventh life.”

Ning Sui Chu: ...

Who wrote this fate chart? I'll kill him!
