[The main story is complete, so enjoy without worry. My upcoming works, The Dodder Vine Concubine Runs Away and The Mad, Beautiful, Tragic One's Dark Moonlight, are on my profile. Please add them to your reading list. Blurbs at the end.]
Meisheng is a fox spirit who has lived for ten thousand years. She's good at acting cute and coy, throwing tantrums and rolling around, and best of all, luring people into trouble with an innocent, bewildered look. All soft and yielding, she's irresistible across the Six Realms. Through one careless mistake, she seduced the lofty Celestial Emperor and was punished by being sent into Siming's storybooks to undergo trials.
In her first life, she becomes the daughter of an official who cheated on the future Grand Secretary and was later tortured to death in revenge.
Meisheng: "No need to panic. I'll treat my husband well after we marry and cling to his coattails."
Siming: "No. By the time you arrived, you'd already humiliated the future Grand Secretary when he was poor, then eloped with your former fiancé!"
Meisheng: "..."
In her second life, she becomes the substitute for the one true love of an emperor for the ages, a wicked tool who has a talent for courting death and murdered the true love's entire family.
Meisheng could take it no longer. She swept the storybooks aside, clapped her hands, and said, "If that's the case, just watch and see. I'll show you what it means to turn the tables against all odds."
Jiang Yu had long cast aside all seven emotions and six desires. Seated high in the Ninth Heaven, he watched the joys and sorrows of all things. He was a lofty flower beyond the reach of the Six Realms, yet a little fox dragged him down to the mortal world, seduced him, then ran off, leaving him utterly heartbroken.
He came bearing a body full of hatred, intent on watching her kneel at his feet and beg for his mercy, longing for even a moment of his favor. But... this was supposed to be a story about tormenting the heroine, so why did the plot go off course in every life? Why had Master Pei become the kind who says one thing but means another? Why had Emperor Chenghua turned into a man who chases his wife to the ends of the earth? Why had the crown prince become a lovesick, obsessive yandere?
It turned out that no matter how much I tried to forget you, despise you, and hate you, the moment you beckoned, I still couldn't stop myself from walking toward you.
Reading guide:
1. A dramatic, flirtatious heroine who's a master at seduction (and prone to spectacular backfires) x a lofty flower dragged down to earth, a black-hearted Celestial Emperor who's sweet on the inside (and rather shy).
2. In each life, the male lead is one of the Celestial Emperor's split personalities.
Upcoming: The Dodder Vine Concubine Runs Away
One Qingming Festival, rain fell as a young woman stumbled into Jiang Chen's sight. Her thin robe clung to her drenched body. She raised her rain-soaked eyes and pleaded, "I hope the Duke will lend me a helping hand."
Jiang Chen gazed at those familiar features and smiled. "Of course. You only need to give me something in return."
From then on, Yinyin became his mistress.
At first, he thought all he wanted was a night of pleasure. But as time passed, he found it harder and harder to let her go. When choosing a wife, he made his terms clear: "My mistress is frail and can't look after herself, so I need someone who's willing to accept her."
When the imperial marriage decree arrived, he thought Yinyin would surely feel some resentment. Instead, she gave him the same gentle smile as always, like a fragile dodder vine swaying in the wind, unable to live without leaning on him. That put his mind completely at ease.
Until the day he caught his imperial betrothed driving his dodder vine to the riverbank. Yinyin leapt into the river and drowned. Only then did he realize that she, too, had a proud and unyielding spirit.
Later, when he found that familiar figure again in Jiangnan, his eyes reddened. He couldn't bear to imagine how much hardship this greenhouse flower had endured, wandering through life without him.
But the young woman only smiled, gentle yet resilient, as she held a book and told the little girl beside her, "As a woman, the most important thing is to stand on your own. Having a man or not isn't that important. Look, we're doing just fine together."
Jiang Chen: "..."
Upcoming: I Tormented My One True Love
My name is Yaoyao. Ten thousand years ago, I was a carefree ghost. Then I saw Emperor Qingci's bewitching smile by Vermilion Bird Gate, and I lost my heart.
A young girl's love is pure and passionate. I offered him my whole heart, and at last, I won a glance from him.
I remember to this day how, on my wedding day, my new husband, Qingci, watched coldly as his one true love ran me through the heart with a sword.
The Sixth Princess of the Celestial Realm smiled sweetly. "Brother Ci, the ghost you lured here for me is perfect for repairing my soul."
So that's how it was. All that tender affection had been a lie!
With only a wisp of my soul remaining, I drifted through the mortal world. By chance, I learned that Emperor Qingci had descended to the mortal realm to undergo reincarnation. So I took on a mortal form and slowly bewitched his heart.
Then I recreated the scene from our wedding day, smiled seductively at him, and threw myself onto the sword. Blood spilled everywhere!
I watched him curl up, unable to make a sound through his agony, as he relived the scene of his beloved's death again and again through ten lifetimes, filled with despair and helplessness.
Those ten lonely lifetimes were what I had prepared for him!
Later, I stormed into Sparrow Palace and forced the Celestial Realm's Sixth Princess to kneel before me, returning the spiritual awareness she had stolen.
I thought my life as a spirit was complete, but I never imagined that when Qingci returned from his trials, he would corner me. Blood mingled with his tears as he sobbed, "Yaoyao, I repaid you with ten lifetimes of suffering. Can I make you look at me once more?"
But he didn't know that a ghost whose soul has been pierced by sword energy loses the ability to love. I can no longer gaze at you with the same burning passion I once had.
Reading guide: The main story is told in third person. Only the blurb uses first person.
Theme: Never give up in adversity. Keep striving.
It's so beautiful, why not do a third life? The large and beautiful articles are all beautiful! Can you update more and faster?
Actually, I'm looking forward to wearing more of them.
It's over in two lives. It's beautiful but not enough.
Why were my comments deleted? I also know that I'm a mess, so I'm afraid that if I leave my comment, I won't be able to deceive other readers?
It's so beautiful, it would be great if there was a modern chapter
I didn't get to see the Prince setting, which was a pity.
Please read the first story by itself.
The author's writing is very nice
Not bad? Happy New Year
Are you seriously considering adding another theater?
