Ancient Mystery

They say red and blue have always been a couple, and black and white have always been married.

The old sayings have a point.

Pangu swung his axe, and heaven and earth were split apart. In the ancient, primordial world, the gods came into being.

Among all the gods across the four seas and eight lands, two deities were the subject of the most gossip.

One was Su Yan, the third son of the Su family of nine-tailed foxes. In a white robe, tall and slender, and peerlessly beautiful, he had captivated countless goddesses.

The other was the ancient goddess of the Nine Heavens, whose magic was so powerful that no god could rival her. She could protect life, or bring the world to an end.

And yet, these two deities first met when the proud goddess's apricot-blossom ball smacked the beautiful white fox on the head.

They say mortal women toss a flower ball to choose a husband.

This apricot-blossom ball... counts as a flower ball, right?

Su Yan (showing off like a peacock): Goddess of the Nine Heavens, give me a chance and go out with me?

Goddess of the Nine Heavens (dismissively): I'm not interested in romance. I only want to protect all living beings.

But she never expected...

Su Yan (looking terribly aggrieved): Goddess, since all you care about is protecting all living beings, I'll respect your wishes. I won't bother you anymore.

Goddess of the Nine Heavens (smiling slyly): It's true that I want to protect all living beings, but why do you think you aren't one of them?

-----Blurb-----

After the college entrance exam, Gu Yu went to Beicheng, while Yun Niao went to Nancheng.

Three thousand miles lay between north and south.

On graduation day, Yun Niao looked at the graduation photo, at herself and him smiling brightly, and silently sighed.

After this parting, she and he would probably never cross paths again in this life.

After graduating, Yun Niao joined the national Arctic expedition team and became one of its members.

When the expedition ended, she returned to the capital and gave a presentation at the headquarters of Nanshan Group.

It was on that fiery sunset evening that Yun Niao saw the familiar figure again.

He was still smiling just as he used to, dressed in a crisp, clean shirt.

But unlike before,

he finally reached out first, pinning Yun Niao between his arms and the wall.

His eyes shone with a light he could no longer suppress.

"Yun Niao, do you remember the exponential functions we studied?"

"...I do."

"My love for you is like an exponential function. It grows explosively."
