Blurb:

After diligently serving as the ruler of the Six Realms for hundreds of years, Fuyue was exhausted in body and mind, with her vitality utterly depleted.

To make life a little easier, she picked up a young man from the snow and took him in as her disciple, leaving him to handle her daily affairs.

Her new disciple, Feng Xi, was handsome, obedient, and very capable. But whenever he saw her with another man, his face would tense, and his gaze turn cold and gloomy.

Fuyue didn't think much of it. Everyone had their quirks, after all.

Later, Fuyue decided to make up for a past regret by marrying a certain emperor who had descended to the mortal realm with her to undergo a trial, and experience the tender beauty of love.

On the day of the wedding, Feng Xi arrived with a sword. His blade flashed like a rainbow. In the space of a moment, he killed Fuyue's groom and the guests who harbored ulterior motives.

Kneeling amid the blood, he gently put her shoes and socks on her feet. His bloodstained face wore an obedient smile. "In all the Six Realms, only I deserve to stand beside you, Master, dressed in red with you and celebrating with the world."

He pressed his cheek against the back of her hand, a flush spreading around his eyes. "Do you understand, Master?"

With his people wiped out and his lifelong wish fulfilled, Feng Xi decided to travel to the frozen north to die.

There was not a soul in sight in that bitterly cold place. Just as he raised his hand to end his life, a lazy female voice suddenly came from behind him. "Who are you? What brings you here?"

He turned around and saw, amid the swirling snow, the brightest moon in the heavens.

A poisonous mushroom growing in a damp cave knows that touching the sunlight will kill it, but still can't help poking its head out, craving that forbidden warmth.

He lowered his hand, gathered his robes, and knelt. "Please, Lady Fuyue, take me as your disciple."

A person needs a goal in life in order to keep living.

Over the long years, he laid a vast web of traps, all to drag the moon into his filthy yet pure love.

"Mini-scene"

When they first met, Feng Xi knelt at Fuyue's feet. "Your disciple is willing to die for you, Master."

Later, he pinned her to the bed. "I can die for you, but first we have to consummate the marriage."

Fuyue: ...I've been tricked.

Time for the usual bragging:
