Chang Ying's Diary:
On the seventh day of the sixth month, I broke up with Xie Shuhan. It went more peacefully than I expected. We both achieved great success in the Dao at the same time and in the same place.
But after the Nirvana Pure Fire went out, snow fell endlessly between heaven and earth.
Sixth month: Snowfall.
Seventh month: Snowfall.
Eighth month: Still snowing.
Ninth month: I went out on an errand and ran into Xie Shuhan. We passed each other like strangers. For some reason, the snow grew heavier, and I struggled back to the mountain through it.
Tenth month: I was invited to a banquet. A handsome young man practicing swordplay on the Sword Sect's training ground caught my eye, and I liked what I saw, so I watched him for a couple of extra moments. Unfortunately, Xie Shuhan caught me. That day, it snowed and the wind howled.
Eleventh month: Gossip from the immortal world reached the Sword Sect, claiming I had abandoned Xie Shuhan because I had fallen for a fresh-faced young man. I reflected on it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. When I looked up, I saw hail mixed in with the heavy snow, and Sword Sect disciples below the mountain were crying out in pain.
Twelfth month: I entered the Realm of Passion and Desire. Inside, I encountered a delusional woman. To break through the realm, I had no choice but to pretend to marry Xie Shuhan. Suddenly, the snow stopped, and the mountains and rivers warmed again.
The immortals waiting outside the realm: ?
Xie Shuhan and I emerged after breaking through the realm.
The Daoist aura around Xie Shuhan seemed almost otherworldly, yet he never let go of the hand he was holding. He even said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Since we're married, we shouldn't live apart. I'll come back to Wushan with you."
Me: ??????????
