· Delicate, pampered little junior sister adored by everyone vs. decisive, domineering senior brother
#Blurb#
A noble young lady from Chaoge City, born with a six-petaled golden lotus heart, is the only junior sister at the Jade Void Palace.
On the day her senior brother took human form, he grabbed his Fire-Tipped Spear and set off to confront his scumbag father, Li Jing, for destroying his golden body.
Afraid of suffering the heart-devouring pain again, the girl wrapped both arms tightly around his waist. “Waaah, don’t go! Your life belongs to me!”
Faced with those limpid eyes, the young man furrowed his brow slightly, as if bound by a tightening curse.
Indeed, when he died many years ago, she had given him one petal of her golden lotus heart to help him be reborn.
The Heavenly Dao had issued a decree from the Book of Fate: “You shall enter the mortal world in this life, solely to guide him here.”
From then on, their fates became intertwined.
She had thought that when he said he would “repay her with his life,” he meant he would cherish her above all else.
But old habits die hard. Facing the girl’s tearful, delicate face, he snapped, “What can you do besides cry?”
She froze, forcing back her tears as her heart sank to the bottom of a valley.
When the young man turned around again, the girl who had waited for his return from battle, gentle as apricot blossoms in a spring drizzle, was no longer behind him.
It was only when she was captured by enemy soldiers that the young man, spear in hand, gazed at the vivid wedding dress she wore and went on a rampage, eyes bloodshot, amid the countless troops.
Only then did he realize that, through the long years, she had already become part of his very bones and blood.
Later, when the emperor sought to take her golden lotus heart to save the people, the night was dark and the snow fell thick. The blade in his hand glinted coldly as he shielded her and said, “If she dies, I’ll make the whole world pay for her!”
She was a delicate flower reflected in water, pure and untouched by dust. She descended to the mortal world to guide him through thousands of miles.
She was also alluring and beguiling, drawing him deeper with every step. From then on, he was willing to protect her with his flesh and blood for the rest of his life, keeping her safe from harm.
