Jiang Yao transmigrated into a book, a Green River-style power fantasy for women titled After I Dumped the Powerful Men, I Ascended to Immortality. She became a healing-tool character who had to clean up after the female lead ascended.
The thing that called itself the System told her:
"As a tool character, all you have to do is follow a sweet, sunny persona and warm the hearts of the unlucky male supporting characters. Keep them from turning evil after being used without mercy, and once you collect enough 'love points,' you can ascend."
Jiang Yao flipped the table. Act sweet and cute? Dream on!
In her fury, someone suddenly grabbed her by the back of her collar and carried her into a cave dwelling.
In the cramped, chilly room, she met a pair of clear, dark eyes, so beautiful they made her heart flutter.
A moment later, Jiang Yao learned that this icy beauty was her master, Lord Yuheng. He had once been deceived in both body and heart by the previous female lead, and had given up on ascending.
Most importantly, her beautiful master was also the main source of love points.
Jiang Yao: Perfect! For the sake of a beauty, I can play sweet and coy!
Later, she got so carried away with healing him that by day she looked after her master's child, and at night she clung to her master and got up to mischief.
Who could have guessed that before long, the other person's belly would start growing day by day?
Only then did she learn that her master was a descendant of Gun, an ancient god.
Gun's descendants could become pregnant and give birth in order to preserve their bloodline.
Most importantly, Gun's descendants were the most noble bloodline in the immortal realm, and all of them were rulers.
That's right, her master was an Immortal Emperor who had descended from the upper realm to undergo tribulation.
He was her former BOSS, with a ridiculously high combat level.
And he was also the stepping stone she had once used to ascend after dumping him.
Just one question: if she sets herself on fire now, is there still time?
*
Wen Congyan, the highest ruler of the immortal realm, never imagined that his tribulation of love would end in failure twice.
The first time, after being abandoned, he severed all ties to love and ascended to the upper realm through the ruthless path. The moment he opened his eyes, he ran into the female immortal who had once made him pregnant and bear a child, and his Dao heart was destroyed on the spot.
His ascension failed, and he had to undergo tribulation again.
The second time, a creature claiming to be the Heavenly Dao System told him, "Your last disciple, Jiang Yao, was born with immortal bones, but she is devoid of desire and emotion, so she cannot attain the Great Dao. She must experience true feelings, and only then can the two of you ascend successfully."
Then he discovered that Jiang Yao was the female disciple who had once made him abandon his path and start cultivating all over again.
Wen Congyan: Hah. The Heavenly Dao always comes around.
Yet a few years later, he... ended up pregnant again.
And once again, the other person ran away. :)
#The hapless master gets caught out yet again#
#The same script, played twice?#
[If you've made it this far, yes, this is actually a reunion-after-separation story with an amnesia trope. The heroine's perspective is sweet and satisfying, while the hero gets the classic angsty treatment. This author just loves that sort of thing, and wanted to write a story about an abstinent master falling from his lofty pedestal twice.]
Reader's Guide
1. Only the male lead, who has Gun's bloodline, can give birth (content warning!!!). The male lead suffers; proceed with caution if you're a fan of the male lead. There are scenes of raising children.
2. The heroine is bold and ruthless; the male lead is an abstinent immortal lord.
3. The heroine is cold-hearted at first. See how things develop later, but it will definitely have a happy ending.
4. Names and details may change, but the premise won't. If you like it, add it to your collection. :)
