After being dumped, Ming Yi flew into a rage and cultivated the Heartless Dao.
His final trial before ascending was to relive his time in the mortal world. Everything was an illusion, designed to test his Dao heart.
When Ming Yi was a mortal, he had never known hardship as a youth. But because he unrequitedly loved her, he brought ruin upon his family.
He knew it was all an illusion, but still wanted to cut ties with her. Even if he failed to ascend, he absolutely refused to be manipulated by that woman again.
But he never expected a donkey cart to knock him back into the shameless, love-addled teenage Ming Yi.

Teenage Ming Yi wanted nothing more than to marry a princess.
Ever since he crashed his donkey cart into Princess Ning Bai's bedchamber, his relationship with Her Highness had advanced by leaps and bounds.
But the princess said she loved his hot-and-cold attitude and his perfectly executed push-and-pull tactics.
Heaven and earth could bear witness: he was wholeheartedly devoted to the princess. How could he ever resort to such underhanded tactics?
Still, he had noticed something strange about himself. Not only did he often lose his memory, but lately he had even learned magic?!
The immortals and demons described in books actually existed!

Ning Bai had been single for tens of thousands of years, and had always opposed arranged marriages.
So when the Star Diviner told her that she had to marry a certain future star of the Nine Heavens and Four Realms at a certain date and time, she pretended to undergo a trial and descended to the mortal realm.
The mortal world's men, with their wives and concubines, opened Ning Bai's eyes. So she began to wander among all sorts of men, passing through a field of flowers without a single petal clinging to her.
...Well, it wasn't that not a single petal had clung to her. The man with a mole beneath his left eye had moved her heart just a little.
Ten thousand years later, after she returned to the Immortal Realm badly weakened, someone took advantage of her unpreparedness and foisted a prearranged husband on her.
She looked closely at him, then burst with joy.
Well, what a coincidence!
*
Ming Yi: I severed my attachments and ascended just to become a live-in son-in-law in heaven?!
Ning Bai: You're so cold, so cool, I love you!
A tsundere, love-addled puppy who cultivates the Heartless Dao x a "big sis" with a heavenly husband who has all the best qualities of a puppy and a wolf. She finally gets why arranged husbands are great.
Theme: May all those who choose each other never be worn down by the hardships of life.
Congratulations on the new year and happy Mid-Autumn Festival
