A Taoist Temple Raises a Fairy

After Chaoyang became a demon, she spent her days eating, drinking, and exploring the customs of the human world. She thought this good life would last until old age, but then she hit a wall with a young, stern Taoist priest.

She thought she'd be trapped and mistreated by humans from then on, but to her surprise, she lived rather comfortably by the Taoist priest's side.

As she followed Xuanxing around, vanquishing demons and defending the Dao, she not only gained a body despite having no soul or spirit, but somehow even developed a soul of her own?!

Yet everywhere along the way, people kept saying:

You are the Flower Goddess.

You fell in love with the Demon King.

You fell from godhood to become a demon for him, betraying the Celestial Realm.

That would have been enough, but some people also said:

Xuanxing destroyed his true form for you.

Xuanxing gave you his golden heart-protecting scale.

Xuanxing used his own sinew and bones to repair the weapon you crushed.

And some even said she betrayed the Demon King for Xuanxing!!!

Chaoyang: ?????? I'm just walking along, and trouble falls out of the sky?

She couldn't remember, even if it killed her, having such a deep history with Xuanxing.

Everyone says that Xuanxing, the Taoist priest of Xingyang Temple, has a terrible temper and is not to be trifled with. Only he knows his own secret, locked away in his heart, impossible to forget or suppress:

He loves the little white flower beneath the Flower Goddess's care, and gives her all his tenderness.

“When I was seventeen, I saw a fairy at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. I haven't been able to forget her for three hundred years.”

Take a look at my upcoming novel, A Face Like the Spring Breeze

At the Lantern Festival when she was fifteen, Xu Sheng met someone at the lantern fair.

He wore a mask, and his whole manner was cool and distant. He reached out and tossed two longans at her.

From that day on, Xu Sheng couldn't stop wondering what he looked like beneath the mask.

Years later, Zhou Ze'an sat beside Xu Sheng, remembering the first time he met her.

“You called me ‘hey.’ I remember thinking, how could a girl raised by Mr. Zhao be so rude?”

Lost in his memories, his gaze was calm and tender.

“Everyone says I'm filthy and vile, like a rat in a ditch, unfit for you.”

“Then I thought, to hell with the timing, to hell with status, to hell with being unworthy. I would like you anyway. I would love you anyway. I want a passionate love, a love that lasts until death, a love that never loses its kindness.”

Zhou Yong'an: I thought the world was dark, and that I'd spend my whole life wallowing in filth and mire. I never expected someone to hack through the brambles and leap into that swamp, then cleanse me with a pure, clear heart and hold me in their arms.

Xu Sheng: My parents told me to stay away, but I wouldn't listen. My teacher told me to stay away, but I wouldn't listen. Fate told me to stay away, and I still wouldn't listen.
