Reborn, I Won Over My Ex-Husband's Master

Female lead's version: Duan Heng said, "Come with me. I'll protect you for the rest of your life." Wangshu believed him. She brought the treasures of her entire clan and followed Duan Heng out of the Qingqiu Marsh. Later, Duan Heng succeeded to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, and she became the Heavenly Empress. Everything was wonderful, until one day something happened to Duan Heng's childhood sweetheart. "So everything you did was just for my inner core?" Wangshu gripped the sword in Duan Heng's hand, each word soaked in grief. "Yes." Duan Heng's eyes reddened, filled with a madness she had never seen before. He wasn't doing it for his wife, but for another woman. "Only the inner core of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan can help her advance and let her stay with me forever." "I'll die." Duan Heng scoffed. "Don't lie. Who doesn't know that every Nine-Tailed Fox has nine lives?" "But... because of you, I have only one life left." Wangshu couldn't rest in peace, unable to believe she'd given her heart to a man like him. Before she died, Wangshu saw the Ninth Desolate Venerable, Jun Zhao, who had always looked down on the demon clan as mere insects, fall from godhood into demonic ruin and kill Duan Heng. Then this god, who had never shown joy or sorrow, held her cooling body and wept uncontrollably. "...But why was he crying?" Wangshu never found out before she died. Male lead's version: The most embarrassing thing Jun Zhao ever did was enter that apricot grove on a whim. "Why did you come here too?" Wangshu had come to sneak some apricots. She transformed into human form and swiftly caught the little silver fox who had come to steal some too. Wangshu went on, "Can you still not talk?" The little fox only whimpered in reply, and Wangshu assumed she'd guessed correctly. She sighed, tucked the little fox into her arms, and held it tight. Feeling a softness he shouldn't have felt, Jun Zhao, disguised as a little fox, forgot to struggle and was carried back to Yuhua Palace in a daze. She washed him clean and scrubbed him down. He didn't escape until nightfall. After that absurd night, everyone said that a little fox had gone missing from Wangshu's Yuhua Palace. No one knew that the Venerable had also lost his heart to the Dao. P.S. The second male lead has a groveling redemption arc, a real "burning at the stake." Next novel: *The Immortal Venerable Is Worthless*. Feel free to add it to your library. Female lead's version: Her fiance betrays her on the eve of their wedding. The sect's protective formation is badly damaged, leaving Flying Star Valley besieged from within and without. The only way to keep its thousands of disciples safe is to repair the formation. Qing Xian: "Have you found a way?" "There is only one option: conceive a spirit fetus and use its spiritual power to reforge the formation's cornerstone." "My fiance is gone. Where am I supposed to find a man to get pregnant by?!" Her subordinate hesitated, then ventured, "Could Valley Master perhaps make do?" Remembering the sight of that man half-naked and with another person, Qing Xian nearly retched. She sneered, "I'd rather die than go back to him. Find someone handsome, of clean background, and gentle disposition. We can negotiate the price. I want to keep the child and send the father on his way." Her subordinate could only agree. Her subordinate was capable, and the man he found suited her in every way, apart from being a little inexperienced. But once the man had "done his part" and Qing Xian wanted him to "step aside," he swept up all the moonlight with a wave of his hand. Light flooded the room as he approached, wearing the most admired face in the Immortal Alliance. "You seduced and abandoned this Venerable, tossing me aside once you'd used me. Have you considered the consequences, Valley Master?" Qing Xian: Damn! I've been played! Male lead's version: "What kind of husband do you want?" "He should be a peerless hero, unmatched beneath the heavens!" Xiu Jing remembered her words. From then on, he trained diligently, defeated the top-ranked fighter in the Immortal Alliance, and finally took the position of Alliance Venerable. Now he could go find her. But he hadn't expected that a woman's words were lies, and by the time he made his move, the game was already lost. With all hope gone, he obeyed his master's command and practiced the Supreme Heartless Art. Just as his cultivation reached its peak, he heard that her blind fiance had betrayed her, and that she was busy looking for a man to help her conceive a spirit fetus. A spirit fetus? He could give her one... After years of stagnant calm, the Immortal Alliance was suddenly in an uproar: #Help! The Immortal Venerable keeps trying to marry into a powerful family! #Shocking! The dignified Immortal Venerable is willing to be the other man for love! #A cultivation-world version of a billionaire wife running off while pregnant!!!
