The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Yun Ji served as a God of War for 180,000 years. But then the Ancestral Demon appeared out of nowhere, and the gods joined forces to seal him away. The Divine Realm collapsed in the aftermath. She had no choice but to take a sinecure in the Immortal Realm, where she was put in charge of exorcising demons and vanquishing evil spirits.
Immortal life was long, and offerings were scarce, so she let a crooked idea take root and set her sights on the Wenchang Emperor of the Ziwei Palace in the Thirty Heavens.
She secretly skimmed the offerings, and he knew perfectly well what she was doing. They both had a bright and beautiful future ahead of them, if only the truth had never come out.

Her spiritual power was depleted. To undo a knot, one must find the person who tied it, so the Heavenly Dao decreed that the Mysterious Lady and Wenchang descend to the mortal realm and undergo a trial of love.
Mortals have so many things beyond their control, and so many twists of fate. They struggle with all their might to reach each other, wrestle in the whirlpool of a mire, and, as if their fates had already been written, walk toward opposite ends.
They never said they loved each other, not even on their deathbeds, yet their souls kissed beneath the water and embraced within a mirror.

Later, she remembered her fate and used her primordial spirit to activate the Great Primordial Formation, intending to perish along with the Ancestral Demon, Luo Hou.
As her primordial spirit faded away, she began to sincerely miss the red-robed emperor beside the Ink Pool in the Immortal Realm's Thirty Heavens.
Her past with him in the Celestial Palace, on Langya Mountain, and in the mortal world flickered vividly before her eyes like scenes in a zoetrope.
Whether he was the Wenchang Emperor or the mortal Zhang Shunan, all those loves and hatreds that could never be spoken aloud would wither here.
All she wished for Wenchang Emperor was this:
"From now on, may your immortal path be smooth and your incense offerings never cease. May your love be fulfilling and your marriage harmonious, and may your children and grandchildren gather around your knees."
"May you never recognize me again."

Contains original worldbuilding. If that's not your thing, please don't read.
A love story between immortals, written because the author wanted to indulge themselves. I hope you enjoy it!
I swear on the heavens, this really is a happy ending.
[Coming Soon] "Catkins Before the Wind"
"How long do you think you can prosper by using your beauty to please others?"
"Well, naturally, the better it gets, the better it gets, and the more wonderful it is, the more wonderful it becomes."
She gazed at the darkness pressing down above her. Tiny flecks of snow struck her face, and she smiled with unusual ease. Her voice was hoarse, like a poisoned blade, like a sword suspended overhead, about to fall.
"I've done every kind of wicked thing. It's only right that husband and wife be estranged, and that family be separated by life and death. Even if I fall into the Avici Hell, facing mountains of blades and forests of swords, being hacked apart and boiled in cauldrons, I have no complaints."
The young man froze for a moment, then smiled too. "Wife? Imperial Consort, have you lost your wits? After Father passes, he will be buried in Dingling beside the Empress. Grand Tutor Tao also has a primary wife who will stay with him in life and death. Only you, and you alone, are a concubine, doomed to be trapped here for all eternity as Consort Xianyue."

The title comes from the line: "Life is just like catkins before the wind: joy comes in scattered bits, sorrow comes in scattered bits, and all become tiny duckweed drifting down the river."
A palace-intrigue story with a focus on the ensemble cast.
This story is set in an imaginary world and takes inspiration from the Tang dynasty. Readers who insist on historical accuracy, please give it a pass.
Theme: Believe that you, with all your uniqueness, will surely meet someone just as unique.
Even though it is he, I still feel so sad.
How ironic, just because she is a woman, in the end it is the man who takes the credit for the woman (I am not criticizing the author, I am satirizing the world of Edinburgh)

I think this scene is really suitable for painting.
Hahahaha I feel like the heroine can see very clearly that no one is suitable for her and she is surrounded by pig teammates.
The male protagonist said: "Imprison/imprison me"? The heroine replied: "Yes". Hahahahaha
