Zhao Jin saw an immortal when she was little, on a starry night when fireflies drifted through the air.
She saw a white-robed youth carrying a lantern as he stepped across the water, yet his clothes remained dry.
He had the most unforgettable face, and Zhao Jin remembered it for years.
Eight years later, on a spring night,
Zhao Jin, forced into marriage, tremblingly lifted the sedan curtain, only to look up and find herself face-to-face with a golden statue of Lord Yushan.
That night, the banished immortal lowered his eyes
and saw the little bride kneeling on a prayer mat, her face scrunched up as she cried terribly.
But the rain outside Yushan Temple was so loud, and the mountain mist so damp and hazy,
that he suddenly thought she was rather cute.
She was an utterly ordinary mortal girl, yet somehow she came to live in an immortal's heart.
I see the banished immortal, year after year.
Maybe this isn't a very traditional xianxia story. It's about an utterly ordinary girl having an extraordinary encounter and becoming the bride of the most beautiful, most innocent immortal in the divine realm.
Sweetness is the goal. Shan Zhizi guarantees the sugar rush. A gentle, healing story.
