Story blurb: [Marriage Before Love] & [Love at First Sight] In the first year of the Qiyuan Jingxian era, Shen Jingshui, son of Grand Academician Shen Weiming, marries Xu Lü Zhu, daughter of Xu Qun, the great general who guards the nation. The wedding is so grand that no one has matched it in over a decade, and countless young ladies envy her. But Xu Lü Zhu herself isn't happy. Everyone says that the only son of Grand Academician Shen is a dashing, extraordinary man, and that the Shen family, founding heroes of the dynasty, enjoys limitless wealth and glory. She wants to point at them and curse them out. Who in Yuecheng doesn't know that four of the seven founding ministers died within a year? The other three are all barely scraping by. One of them is her father, and the other two are her uncles. If the powers above take offense, she's dead either way. And who in Yuecheng doesn't know that the Shen family's only son is a wooden, Taoist priest who was just brought back from Mount Taihang, hundreds of miles away? She's been forced to act meek, but she's still a tigress from a military family. How could she possibly treat a man with mutual respect and courtesy? How could she! At last, after half a month of fasting and gaining five pounds, she is forced to marry. But why is this husband she got for free so surprisingly to her liking? Help, he's exactly her type! He helps her cover things up, takes her on trips, and even joins her in vanquishing demons. And not having to pretend to be weak every day is just the best. [Extra Scene] [Before the wedding] Shen Jingshui: Whatever. Spending my life alone would be fine, too. [The wedding] Shen Jingshui: I'm in love, but not completely in love. [After the wedding] Shen Jingshui: Wife! Wife! Wife!!! (voice cracking) Warnings: This is an angsty story that treats everyone equally cruelly. The woman gets one knife, the man gets two. The ending is HE. The goddess Fuxie is an impartial, incorruptible celestial judge who guards the Xueyue River prison in the immortal realm. She had thought she would spend her life accompanied by wind and snow, with the prisoners who came and went merely passing visitors, close enough to touch but never to stay. But one condemned immortal would always meet her icy gaze and speak to her as if they were old acquaintances. The condemned immortal was as radiant as the moon, with a gentle, refined manner and a warm smile. Nothing about him revealed why he had been sentenced to the harshest prison in the world. Fuxie had little contact with others and did not want to speak with him, but the condemned immortal kept finding openings to greet her. Just before he vanished, Fuxie heard him say, "My wayward disciple, why have you still not come home?" In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, and Fuxie finally remembered. She was no goddess. She was the sinner who had been imprisoned here for eternity. She and her master were both unrepentant lunatics. One defied the Heavenly Dao and forcibly awakened consciousness in an inanimate object. The other betrayed her master and stole the sect's treasure, becoming a demonic cultivator. But whenever Fuxie awoke with a start in the night, she could always recall the words her master so often repeated: "The heart of the Heavenly Dao is lifeless. If you dare to let the world go its own way, I can go, and so can my disciple." With a master so defiant of convention, perhaps it was only natural that she coveted him. The demonic cultivator Fuxie stared without restraint at the transcendent immortal in the mirror, her eyes bloodshot. She murmured, "You were the one who taught me this." Theme: Even when life is beyond your control, you must pursue freedom and happiness.
