[Sharp-tongued, beautiful, strong, and miserable top x soft and adorable spoiled brat]

[After falling for someone else, she discovers her replacement is her first love]

Su Qinghe once had a first love. From a convict's servant to a prince of a different surname, Sima Yan not only destroyed her family and country, but also betrayed her heart.

The tragedy should have ended there. But three hundred years after the fall of her kingdom, Su Qinghe shoved open her coffin and rose from the dead. She had gone from a pampered young princess to a helpless living corpse.

To hold on to the half of her life she'd managed to claw back, she had no choice but to infiltrate an immortal sect and search for a way to return to life. Unfortunately, she accidentally gave away her identity.

Facing the other person's murderous stare, Su Qinghe had a sudden flash of inspiration and dropped to her knees. "I approached you because... I've admired you for a long time!"

As the revered leader of the immortal sects, Yan Wenxia was decisive and merciless. Yet he kept making exception after exception for one half-dead little brat.

She was coy and affected, always trying to show off and claim credit, and would occasionally swoon over his face. She even had the audacity to say she wanted to become his cultivation partner.

Yan Wenxia rubbed his forehead helplessly.

She was so infatuated with him. What a complete nuisance.

One day, after a banquet, Su Qinghe tugged at his sleeve and called out drunkenly, "Sima Yan."

Yan Wenxia: ?

So all her antics were because she saw him as a stand-in for the first love she'd longed for but could never have in life.

[Bonus Scene]

Only after his memories returned did Yan Wenxia discover that the first love who had made him so jealous he saw red was, in fact, himself.

Now, the man who had gone hungry for two lifetimes trapped the girl who had fallen for someone else in his arms and murmured, "Su Liuli, who else would you want to marry besides me?"

At the familiar name, Su Qinghe stiffened all over. "...W-who are you, really?"

#Love me and it'll cost you your life. Are you in?

#How to turn a wise ruler into a tyrant

#Fall for someone else, and you'll really get struck by lightning

Reading guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads' first time, happy ending. The leads are made for each other in all the wrong ways, and the heavens strike them with lightning whenever they get intimate.

2. A past-and-present-life fake first-love stand-in trope. The heroine will truly come back to life, and the hero gets jealous of himself.

3. This is my own take on the worldbuilding, so don't overanalyze it. Please see the author's note in Chapter One for content warnings~

Upcoming novel: Bound to the Sword Ancestor by a Love Gu, blurb ↓

[Easygoing Sword Ancestor x wealthy beauty]

[We were never meant to be, but my money made it happen]

Zong Shishi was born under a lucky star, with a fortune in wealth and boundless good luck.

That was until she was bound by a life-and-death love gu to Cen Su, the Sword Ancestor: a man rumored to have split the heavens with a single sword, yet so poor that even his robes were patched.

Cen Su desperately needed money.

Zong Shishi desperately wanted to live.

Without a word, the two struck a shady deal beneath the table.

The first time the gu flared up, the young man lay there in white as pure as snow, his lashes lowered. He lay flat and let things happen, his whole demeanor saying, "Strictly business."

Zong Shishi paid up in a foul mood. The experience was terrible.

Later, Zong Shishi got smarter. Beforehand, she slapped down a bag of premium spirit stones. "Give me a smile, and I'll add a thousand taels?"

Cen Su opened his eyes, usually calm and detached. After a long moment, he stiffly curled his lips into a smile.

Later still, her legs turned to jelly and she collapsed beside the bed, too weak even to fetch her money. "C-can I put one time on credit...?"

But Cen Su had already pressed a palm to her back, gently channeling spiritual energy into her. His low, hoarse voice brushed past her ear. "I charge by the session. I have seventeen left."

...Wait, how did I end up owing him?

Zong Shishi happened to learn that the deadly love gu had been dispelled six months ago.

She stared in a daze at the man beside the bed, as pristine as a snow-covered pine.

So now...

What was the meaning of him loosening his robes and lying down as if he were ready and waiting?

#The years I kept the Sword Ancestor

#Bending over for money is only natural

#Wait, weren't we supposed to have a purely financial relationship?

Theme: Reunions are miracles in their own right
