He Came with Wind and Rain

Yun Tang was born to a human family, but she was born with demon bones. The townspeople despised and feared her, gossiping about her behind her back day after day. Even her father and brothers saw her as a freak, and didn't hesitate to force her to leave home. With nowhere else to turn, she listens to an unreliable fortune-teller, who tells her that her fate is extraordinary, and that if she can overcome the tribulation carried over from her past life, her demon bones can be transformed into divine bones. Seeking a place where she can live in peace, Yun Tang follows the fortune-teller's advice and opens a half-demon tavern in Luling. There, she cultivates for a thousand years and accumulates good karma. One midsummer day, a light rain falls. A strange guest arrives at the tavern. The man is dressed in black, with refined and handsome features. His clear eyes are as still as a cold pool on a moonless night, yet when he looks at her, sparks of starlight flicker in them. Yun Tang asks why he has come. He answers only, "I'm looking for someone." At the time, Yun Tang doesn't know who Lian Heng is looking for. Only later, when the starlight in his eyes becomes a wildfire, burning mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas for her, does Yun Tang finally understand: He came through wind and rain, and from the very beginning, all he wanted was to give her a life of peace and happiness for countless years to come.
