Lesser God

*The second male lead chases his wife, but she never takes him back.*

*The male lead is the Demon Venerable.*

Zhao Ying was an utterly ordinary little fairy in the Celestial Realm. Then, by some stroke of luck, the lofty Martial God took a liking to her and proposed.

Having never experienced love, Zhao Ying quickly fell for the Martial God's sweet words and accepted his proposal without hesitation.

Later, the Martial God told her she first had to descend to the mortal realm and undergo a trial. Only after succeeding could she marry him.

The trial involved a lightning punishment. "I can't do it."

The Martial God said, "Don't be afraid. I'll take the lightning punishment for you."

Zhao Ying trusted him and foolishly descended to the mortal realm. That's when she discovered that the Martial God hadn't taken a liking to her at all. He wanted a mortal woman. He had tricked her into descending only so he could give her immortal body to that mortal woman!

Zhao Ying: "..."

There was no way she would give up her immortal body. She wouldn't trade it even if she were struck until her insides were torn apart.

Zhao Ying braced herself and went to face the lightning punishment. For some reason, the original ninety-nine strikes became nine hundred and ninety-nine. Zhao Ying thought, Well, that's it. I'm going to be reduced to ashes.

But she wasn't reduced to ashes. She survived the punishment and became the first disgraced god in tens of thousands of years. From then on, the gods both feared and respected her, and even the Martial God had to bow his head when he saw her.

Zhao Ying: This time, I really did get lucky.

So what was the first thing she did after becoming a disgraced god? Naturally, she repaid every grievance and settled every score!

*

The Martial God Yao Chen was beaten nearly to death by the newly ascended Lord of the Disgraced Gods. If the Heavenly Emperor hadn't intervened, another deity might have fallen in the Celestial Realm.

No one knew what had happened between them, but the Martial God had been beaten to a sorry state in front of all the immortals. Surely there was deep resentment between the two of them. Yet, once his injuries had healed, the Martial God stood like a statue outside the Hall of Disgraced Gods every day.

The immortals: What on earth is going on?

*

To revive her dear friend, Zhao Ying had no choice but to go to the Demon Realm, where she met the Demon Venerable, who loved destroying the Southern Heavenly Gate.

She hadn't expected the Demon Venerable to help her, but to her surprise, he was actually quite amiable?

Zhao Ying: ...Is this really the Demon Venerable?
