The Affectionate Immortal Lord Must Be Laughing at Me

Ming Jing died on the day his Dao companion married someone else. Once a little eunuch in the imperial palace, tasked with emptying chamber pots, he somehow became the fated partner of the leading figure among the immortal sects. Everyone said he'd hit the jackpot, and even he believed it. Then came the bloody night at Wansha Valley. He became a sinner in the eyes of the immortal sects, condemned by everyone and subjected to a hundred tortures in the Hall of Criminal Law. The day of his trial was also the day his Dao companion married his new bride. To distance himself from a criminal like Ming Jing, his Dao companion, dressed in wedding robes, publicly cut out his core and beheaded him. No one knew that Ming Jing would rather endure a hundred tortures than let them search his soul, all to protect that cold-faced immortal lord who had betrayed him. The Venerable Immortal Dujie was an immortal reborn, born with a natural Dao body and beauty beyond compare. He had once slain ten thousand demons with a single sword, and countless people had fallen for him. He was supposed to be fated to marry Yan, the ninth prince of the imperial family, who was just as exceptionally gifted. Who could have guessed that the marriage pact would somehow end up with a palace eunuch? All of Tianji Continent was in an uproar. Everyone lamented the match, calling it a waste of a precious jewel. What hurt even more was that the little eunuch had a mixed and impure spiritual root and no talent whatsoever, while the ninth prince had an innate spiritual body and was born with the bones of a Dao cultivator. He and the Immortal Lord were a match made in heaven. If they cultivated together, a single day would equal years of practice. Instead, this once-in-a-millennium immortal bond had been squandered on a hopelessly mismatched pair. Thankfully, the unruly eunuch willingly fell to the demonic path, leaving the fated couple free to be together. No one expected that this little eunuch, whom they had thought would be gone in the blink of an eye, would remain an insurmountable obstacle between the two destined lovers. Aloof, captivating, cold-blooded Immortal Lord shou Overwhelmingly love-struck, spineless gong Devoted, pampered gong 2 !!! Please note the following content warnings: The first eight chapters have a lot of gong POV Three people caught in the twists of fate, a sea of resentment and love (resentment between the two gongs, romance with the shou) Opens with a husband-killing, a little bit of scum and humiliation Past and present lives, a story of letting go Lots of physical and emotional angst, maximum melodrama The gong is a virgin. The shou is not (he has had a physical relationship with both gongs in the blurb, and in his previous life he also had a physical relationship with a minor gong who died). P.S. The Heavenly Pact concept in this story is based on the Law of Surprise from The Witcher, and some aspects of the Divine Maiden Sect are based on the White Tower from The Wheel of Time. Theme: Love.
