Luan Heyu always thought she had married the best husband. She simply wasn't destined to enjoy a good life: less than a year after getting married, she suddenly died of a heart attack.
In her second life, she was unwilling to accept that fate. She took care of her health while serving her husband, but she still died suddenly.
In her third life, she suddenly gained the ability to see into people's hearts. Only then did she learn that her death had been deliberate, and the culprit was her husband's subordinate, an immortal servant.
Her husband was the ruler of the Immortal Realm. When he descended to the mortal world, he wanted to avoid an emotional trial and focus only on self-cultivation, so he had specifically arranged for an immortal servant to kill anyone he might fall in love with.
She had accidentally captivated the Immortal Lord, so naturally she had to die.
After being killed twice in a row, she'd have to be an idiot to love him again.
She began to gleefully torment that supreme immortal from the heavens who treated people like ants.
If the immortal servant tried to kill her, she'd hide behind the Immortal Lord. Even if she died, she'd make sure to take him down with her.
She gradually fell in love with tormenting the Immortal Lord. When her lifespan finally ran out, she became a ghost and refused to enter the underworld, keeping the Immortal Lord in a state of constant unease. Only when the Immortal Lord's own lifespan ended did she finally let go, laughing with a clear mind and feeling refreshed as she went to find a spirit guide and be reborn.
She never imagined that, as she turned to leave the house, a chilling wind would swirl around her husband's funeral shrine. Before long, a handsome, red-eyed vengeful ghost emerged from the black mist on top of the coffin.
The vengeful ghost was devoted and obsessive. He could only repeat the name of his dead beloved wife as he searched everywhere for her, hoping to continue their love forever.
The immortal servant, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, trembled as he watched the Immortal Lord fall completely into the emotional trial and succumb to madness.
