**I have applied to unlock the full story. I previously promised to finish it because I misjudged my circumstances. For the past two years, I have been held back by my physical and mental health and the many complications of real life, and I avoided the internet, so I did not unlock it in time. I will not lock this story. I poured an enormous amount of hard work into it, and the plot had already passed its climax. It simply did not end as happily as I would have liked. Thank you for having enjoyed it. Note left on 2023.03.15

[The ex-wife chase: the cover features the male lead, Yan Linze. My next book will be Confessed to My Archenemy Before Faking My Death]
Yan Linze, the foremost immortal of the Ninth Heaven, had always been arrogant and unruly. On one trip to the mortal realm, he came back with a little pink sparrow who had just taken human form, and made her his cultivation partner.
Only after the Vermilion Bird Goddess returned to her rightful place did everyone realize: Jiang Taotao was merely a substitute for the one he loved but could never have.
When she signed the divorce contract, Jiang Taotao lowered her eyes and said nothing. Everyone assumed she was crying too hard to speak.
Yan Linze did not try to stop her. He was sure that once she regretted it, she would come running back to cling to him.
But that night, the former cultivation partner the Immortal Lord believed to be timid and afraid of pain jumped resolutely from the Execution Immortal Terrace.
The Records of Fate say the Immortal Lord stayed atop the collapsing tower for nine days. On the tenth, strange signs appeared in the heavens and the Three Realms fell into chaos. Yan Linze, the Son of Heaven's Will, turned white-haired overnight and nearly went mad.
Later, when the phoenix was reborn and all the immortals came to offer their congratulations,
Yan Linze gripped his tassel so hard the veins stood out on the back of his hand. His narrow eyes darkened to red, and his voice rasped as he said, "Tao..."
A man whose face closely resembled his gently covered Jiang Taotao's eyes and laughed warmly. "If you keep looking at A-Ze, I'll get jealous."
Jiang Taotao was actually quite grateful to her former cultivation partner.
He had a face that made it easy for her to love everything associated with him, yet he was so heartless that he made her love trial much easier and shortened the time she expected to spend undergoing it.
It would be even better if this man would stop acting crazy in front of her every day. :)
#You Are a Substitute Too, So Who Fell for Whom for Real?#
· The love trial is about the female lead's tribulation over her unattainable beloved, and has nothing to do with the male lead. She jumped from the Execution Immortal Terrace only to return to her true form.
· Romance comes first. Everyone is already max-level. No cultivation or career-building.
· A chaotic mix of old-school melodramatic tropes, angsty and satisfying Mary Sue romance, and a nostalgic revival. Writing this for love is all that matters.
Theme: Love requires honesty, moving forward hand in hand, and commitment from both sides
