The Laid-Back Fish Has Had a Change of Heart

Jiang Juan transmigrates into a book and becomes a disposable character who has pretended to be ill for years. He is forced to marry Xue Fangli, Prince Li. But no one knows that Xue Fangli won’t survive three chapters. Once Jiang Juan outlives him, he’ll get to enjoy a happy, lazy life as a salted fish. On their wedding day. Xue Fangli: “I don’t have long to live. I’m sorry to put you through this.” Jiang Juan: “It’s no trouble. Your Highness is a man of great virtue and grace. I’m the one who’s lucky to marry up.” Xue Fangli: “What would you say if I sent you away?” Jiang Juan: “I’d like to stay by Your Highness’s side forever.” After a moment of silence, Xue Fangli lowers his head and coughs softly. Blood seeps between his fingers. “In that case, I’ll ask you again in a few days.” Jiang Juan shakes his head, his face pale, but inside he’s delighted. Ask again in a few days? No chance. You’ll be dead within three chapters. Xue Fangli gives a silent scoff. Stay by my side forever? You’re so frail. How many days can you last? * Later, three chapters pass. Xue Fangli coughs up blood constantly, but he’s still alive. Months pass. Jiang Juan’s heart condition flares up often, but he’s still fine. Xue Fangli: ? Jiang Juan: ? Later still, the plot goes off the rails. Xue Fangli becomes emperor, and both of them change their minds. He can’t die. One day, a renowned doctor from Jiangnan arrives in the capital. Jiang Juan rushes out of the palace to find him and kicks open the door. “Doctor, my husband coughs blood all the time and is weak and frail. I’m not ready to be a widower yet. Could you...” Inside, Xue Fangli has the doctor by the throat, holding him up with one hand. His expression dark, he says, “My empress suffers frequent heart attacks and is too weak to care for himself. Will you treat him, or...” Their eyes meet. “?” This is a huge problem.

Saving the Three Realms is an urgent matter. This should have nothing to do with Lan Ya, but someone believes he will become Yan Huideng’s white moonlight, and that his early death will set everything in motion. Overnight, keeping Lan Ya alive becomes the most important thing in the entire cultivation world. That year, Lan Ya is only five years old. He wobbles when he walks, comes down with a fever when the wind blows, and catches a chill whenever the weather turns cold. The sect master of the Sword Sect, the leader of Penglai, the abbot of the Tianyin Temple, and the head of Phoenix Tower are forced to look after him. They all despair. “Tsk, can this child even be kept alive?” Whether they can or not, they have to do their best to raise him. The great figures of the cultivation world gradually become doting fathers with endless worries. As for the claim that he’s Yan Huideng’s one and only white moonlight, the fathers admonish him again and again: “Good boy, remember to stay far away from that bad man called Yan Huideng.” Lan Ya opens his big eyes in confusion, his dark pupils shimmering with tears. He slowly buries his face in the adult’s arms, as if he hasn’t understood. * As long as the demon Yan Huideng lives, the Three Realms remain in danger. And fearing he’ll prey on their precious little cabbage, the fathers are determined to take his life. Yet for more than ten years, the cultivation world remains peaceful, and Yan Huideng is nowhere to be found. Then one day, Lan Ya returns home happily for the break from Kunshan Immortal Academy, bringing along the academy’s top disciple, who is mutually in love with him. The fathers spot them from afar. Their eyelids twitch wildly, and they have a terrible feeling. A young man strolls over with a beaming smile and greets them. “Huideng pays his respects to all of you, uncles. Please forgive me for waiting so many years before coming to visit. Ya-ya and I have known each other for a long time.” Theme: Understanding the world is the first step toward changing it.
