The Immortal Lord's Substitute Ran Away

[Updated daily, 9 a.m. ~ Please add my upcoming novel, "After Taking the Place of the Bride in a Marriage to a Cross-Dressing Demon Lord [Book Transmigration]," to your reading list!]

Immortal Lord Minghui, Lu Mingsi, was the only Immortal Venerable of his age. His looks were peerless, and his cultivation was unrivaled.

A hundred years ago, he once welcomed the Divine Son of the Wu Clan of Southern Xinjiang, Wei Lan, as his bride, with a grand procession of wedding gifts stretching for ten miles.

The wedding procession swept from the farthest reaches of the Celestial River down to the depths of the Netherworld. Wei Lan sat upright in a carriage drawn by a dragon and phoenix, wearing a phoenix crown and red wedding robes, his eyes sparkling.

He had thought it was all because, at their first meeting, he had seen a look of wonder flash across Divine Lord Minghui's eyes.

Then, one day, he saw a painting inside the divine temple.

The person in the painting was breathtakingly beautiful, and looked seven or eight parts like him.

But the person in the painting was not him.

Wei Lan admired Lu Mingsi and always obeyed him, giving him whatever he wanted. But no matter how much Wei Lan gave, Lu Mingsi always took it for granted.

Until the day Divine Lord Minghui faced the final tribulation of his Five Declines of Heaven and Man.

Wei Lan charged into the thunder, using his cultivation, bones, and soul to bear the Nine Heavens Indestructible Tribulation in Lu Mingsi's place. He died, his soul and Dao scattered.

Legend had it that Divine Lord Minghui was without tears or love. Yet, though his tribulation had not ended, he rushed into the thunder, trying to save even a fragment of Wei Lan's soul. All he saw was the last glimmer of light as Wei Lan's soul dispersed.

A tear of blood fell to the ground.

The Divine Lord could weep. It was only... too late.

--

When Wei Lan awoke again, he discovered he had returned to a hundred years earlier, just as he was about to seal a bond with Divine Lord Minghui.

The wedding procession swept along, carrying him toward the very same future.

Wei Lan thought: But I don't owe him anything anymore.

-- He had repaid Lu Mingsi for protecting his clan with his life.

Wei Lan took off his wedding robes, lifted the carriage curtain, and leaped from the dragon-and-phoenix carriage high in the heavens.

He didn't want to love Lu Mingsi anymore.

---------- Upcoming Novel ----------

1.

Jiang Jing transmigrated into a novel about breaking off an engagement. In it, the male lead was supposed to marry the eldest daughter of the Meng family as part of an arranged marriage between their clans. The Meng family's eldest daughter, Meng Yuezhi, was rumored to be gloomy, willful, and eccentric, with countless lives stained on her hands. She was the notorious great demon of the Three Realms, hated by everyone.

The male lead naturally refused to marry such a demoness, so he found a disposable cousin from his family to take his place.

-- Jiang Jing transmigrated into that unlucky cousin.

2.

Jiang Jing arrived on the very night of the wedding. Red curtains, a bridal sedan, and swaying wedding candles surrounded him. Across from him sat the infamous demoness. And she wasn't just a demoness: she would later become the true villain who trampled the male lead beneath her feet.

According to the plot, he had offended her by accusing her of evil deeds. After tonight, she would target him at every turn, until he met a miserable end with his immortal bones shattered and his body fed to insects.

And Jiang Jing had arrived just after the original host finished accusing the demoness.

Jiang Jing: "..."

Oh, great.

Silver flashed, and a chilling gaze fell on him.

Jiang Jing lifted an eyebrow. The obedient mask slowly cracked, and a barely restrained madness surfaced on his face. "...And I just happen to love a vicious wife like you."

He licked the tip of his lip, his eyes alight with addictive excitement. "My lady and I... are made for each other."

The demoness lowered her knife.

3.

Meng Wuhui's life was a joke.

For the sake of the Meng family, he willingly lived as a woman, becoming their weapon. He destroyed their external enemies and rooted out internal threats, bearing a lifetime of infamy and the hatred of countless people who would gladly eat his flesh and gnaw on his bones.

Yet in the end, the Meng family joined forces with the Jiang family and pinned every crime on him. They drove a sword through his heart and sentenced him to centuries of confinement, cut off from the light of day.

Meng Wuhui thought he would die. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the past.

Since everyone believed he was guilty, this time he would live up to their expectations.

4.

Meng Wuhui was a vengeful demon who had crawled out of hell. But he never expected that someone would walk alongside him on this road to destruction.
