[Blurb]

Xue Chuning is a nine-lived spirit cat, as well as the proud and noble young mistress of Fuyu Palace.

She was once saved by the compassionate and benevolent Master of Liuli.

They shared one fleeting, breathtaking encounter in their youth. After three hundred years of entanglement, she finally got her wish: they confessed their love and became betrothed.

But on the eve of their wedding, disaster struck Liuli Pure Land. Not a single soul in the sect survived, and its master, Yan Qingshuang, vanished without a trace.

Yet she showed no concern. Instead, she suddenly left the palace and joined the Hehuan Sect alongside another handsome man.

Rumors spread everywhere.

Some said cat demons were born faithless and ungrateful, and that she had married Yan Qingshuang only to climb the social ladder. Now that Liuli Pure Land had fallen, of course she had abandoned him after leading him on.

But three years later, the former Master of Liuli reappeared, still inseparable from that same brazen little spirit cat, the two of them as devoted as ever.

The world could only say that Yan Qingshuang was deeply in love and praise his compassionate heart.

Even after learning that his fiancée had gotten involved with a pretty boy while he was down, he could still put the past behind him and forgive her.

Until he personally cut off the handsome man's head, then, with blood still on his blade, cleaved a mountain of immortals in two and settled accounts with each immortal sect disciple who had slandered and humiliated Xue Chuning.

Only then did everyone realize that his Bodhi heart had long been stained.

It turned out his compassion was an act. His true nature was dark and cruel.

*

Xue Chuning never regretted meeting Yan Qingshuang.

Even when he told her, "The path of Bodhi saves people, never demons."

So when she accidentally contracted a deadly poison and revealed the bloodthirsty nature he had always despised, she chose to flee in a panic.

But this time, the immaculate saint in white stepped over a field of corpses, captured her in her disarray, and locked her at his side. Then he slit his own wrist and offered it to her, a gentle smile on his face, though anger was just visible in his eyes.

"Those people's blood is too filthy for you. Why not drink mine?"

[Gentle, chaste, and restrained beauty with a tragic fate who goes mad x Gorgeous, ruthless cat demon who loves fearlessly and lives on her own terms]

[Blurb]

Liu Fanyin died on her wedding day.

She sacrificed herself to save the world and had no regrets. If she had one, it was the Daoist partner she left behind.

So, with a fragment of her soul, she was reborn in the mortal realm. After a century of arduous cultivation, she returned to the immortal world, and the first thing she did was seek out the one she had loved in her previous life.

But she was too late. Lingyu Immortal Venerable, who had loved her to the point of death, had long since vanished.

The immortals of the Thirty-Six Heavens all said that the entire immortal world's white moonlight had sacrificed himself for love, clutching the tattered wedding dress she had left behind before casting himself into the cycle of reincarnation.

Liu Fanyin sighed and rubbed her temples. "I knew that little fool would do something rash again."

After leaving the immortal world, she found Lingyu's reincarnation in the mortal realm, now with no memories of his past life.

By an extraordinary coincidence, he was now the husband the Lady of the Liu household had chosen for her before she died.

*

But Liu Fanyin had never imagined that her partner, who had been so deeply in love with her in his previous life, would feel nothing for her in this one. He agreed to the marriage only to obey his parents.

A year into their marriage, an old enemy from the immortal world came after her.

Song Lingyu protected his young twin brother and rescued his childhood friend and junior sister. Only as he was leaving did he turn back indifferently to glance at his wife, who lay in a pool of blood.

Liu Fanyin was gravely wounded and near death. Desperate, she searched those familiar eyes for some sign of feeling. But blood blurred her vision, and all she could see was his figure receding into the distance.

After somehow surviving once more, she resolved to let go of her past entanglements, ascend as soon as possible, and leave this painful mortal world.

So when the man who had saved her life and admired her came to propose, offering to help her cultivate, she agreed after only a moment's hesitation.

Unexpectedly, on her wedding day, Liu Fanyin did not get to see her groom. Instead, Song Lingyu arrived, drenched in blood.

His face was as pale as a ghost, with bright red blood spattered across his cheek. "We're even now. Can't we part on good terms?"

Song Lingyu's eyes were red, and the tip of his sword, pointed at her, trembled slightly.

He suddenly smiled, his low voice heavy with obsessive possessiveness. "Don't even think about it."

[Reading notes]

1. The female lead is quick with a witty remark, but calm and decisive. She was overwhelmingly powerful in her previous life; in this one, she has to level up.

The male lead is aloof on the outside and lovesick and obsessive within. Sometimes he puts on a show of being a helpless victim.

2. An old-school crematorium romance. Expect melodrama.

3. Lots of original worldbuilding.

Theme: Even when the road ahead is dark, keep hope in your heart.
