Luo Xinghu is the most beautiful woman under Heaven, and the most devoted lover under Heaven.
The object of her devotion is her childhood friend, once the most brilliant genius among the immortal sects.
When she was eighteen, he fell into a monster trap while trying to win the highest honor as a betrothal gift. He died without a body left behind.
Luo Xinghu wore mourning clothes, pinned a white flower to her hair, and built him a tomb. Before the ancestral shrine, she swore to remain faithful to him for the rest of her life, even refusing the Sword Lord's proposal at the cost of her life.
What a deeply devoted fairy! What a moving love!
The dead childhood friend had one response: "Huh? Me?"

Yue Qingbi was ambushed by a traitor while exterminating monsters. Only after he died did he learn that his world was just an overpowered hero's cultivation novel. He was one of its biggest suckers: because the male lead looked thirty percent like him, he inherited everything Yue Qingbi had, including his wife.
Yue Qingbi was confused. What wife?
He opened the book and fell silent.
The book said that after his death, Luo Xinghu was consumed by grief and lovesickness. By chance, she met the male lead and, because he resembled Yue Qingbi, took him as a substitute, imprisoned him against his will, and tore out his heart and liver. She tortured the male lead in a twisted romance while mourning Yue Qingbi.
The silence was deafening.
So, author, you're saying that his sworn enemy, who'd made little straw effigies of him every day since she was three, climbed over his wall in the middle of the night to ask him to help her elope with a yellow-haired hooligan, and, when she heard he'd gone off to war, came specifically to wish him a glorious death on the battlefield, realized after he died that she was actually madly in love with him? So much so that she found herself a substitute?
Are you sure this kind of twisted romance counts as love...
What on earth was Luo Xinghu up to?
Yue Qingbi fought tooth and nail to travel back to the past.
The first thing he did was rush to the Luo residence in the middle of the night to demand an answer.
At the time, he was a ghost floating above the Luo residence. He saw Luo Xinghu vow that she'd rather die than marry someone else: "My love for Yue will last until death!"
Yue Qingbi: !!
The book really wasn't lying!

Luo Xinghu had recently started seeing ghosts.
If she hadn't, how else could she have seen Yue Qingbi's ghost proposing to her?
He was like a peacock circling her and showing off his feathers. "Marry me. Marry me, marry me, and defy fate..."
Oh, stop chanting, stop chanting. Master, please stop.
It's not like I only pretended to be your widow for seven years to get your inheritance. Is there any need to haunt me and demand my life?
Selfish, shameless villainess x gullible, lovesick fool
