Yu Yunyou figured she must have been on a lucky streak in love.
She accidentally stumbled into the cultivation world, fell under an ancient fox demon's Heavenly Tribulation, and was rescued by a handsome immortal lord.
Wen Luocheng was cold in both manner and heart. He cultivated the Ruthless Path and was always proud, aloof, and unapproachable. Yet he treated Yu Yunyou with nothing but care.
To help her overcome the tribulation as quickly as possible, Wen Luocheng even took the initiative to propose becoming Dao companions and cultivating the dual cultivation path together.
When the news spread, every female cultivator in the Three Realms was envious.
Even Yu Yunyou thought Wen Luocheng truly liked her.
It wasn't until their wedding night, when Wen Luocheng hurried off to save a woman without even entering the bridal chamber, that Yu Yunyou heard about Su Ruoruo, the cultivation world's number one beauty.
She was Wen Luocheng's childhood friend and junior sister. Ten thousand years ago, she suffered a cultivation deviation, and only the great demon's core inside Yu Yunyou could wake her.
But once the core was removed, Yu Yunyou's body would disintegrate into nothing.
Wen Luocheng had never wanted to save her.
In his eyes, she was nothing but medicine. He intended to trade her life for Su Ruoruo's.
Yu Yunyou understood everything. There was no such thing as love without a reason, after all. She took off her bright red wedding dress and fled in the dead of night.
Everyone knew that Immortal Venerable Luocheng was so far above them that even Su Ruoruo, the number one beauty in the immortal realm, couldn't win his heart. But no one knew that he thought of a mortal girl day and night.
He searched high and low, from the heavens to the underworld, for more than a hundred years.
But mortals only lived for a few dozen years, and in despair, he believed the woman he longed for was long gone.
Many years later, a female cultivator named Xiao You burned her immortal soul on the Ascension Platform, trying to open the Heavenly Gate and reach another time and space.
Everyone was stunned. The God Lord Luocheng, whose heart was as still as a ten-thousand-year-old frozen abyss, flew down from his exalted seat without a care for anything else. Holding the unknown little immortal maiden, he begged her desperately to love him one more time.
