Li An, who is determined to cultivate the Heartless Dao, has a top-tier star for a fiance.
After their flash marriage,
a woman claiming to be Qi Xingchen's old flame showed up the next day. She clutched Li An and wept pitifully, saying she was pregnant with Qi Xingchen's child.
Li An frowned at the infant spirit on her shoulder. "You've had four abortions. Did Qi Xingchen make you get rid of all of them? I'll call that scumbag right now!"
But the so-called "old flame" immediately went pale. Feeling guilty, she slapped Li An's phone away and ran without looking back. "I-I never said I'd had abortions! H-how did she know?"
Not long after, her mother-in-law in name only came by again, acting all high and mighty and looking for trouble.
But before she could even get through the door, Li An glanced at the dark mark between her brows and immediately flung rice at her face.
Watching Li An pull a talisman from her clothes, the mother-in-law's expression changed in an instant. She grabbed Li An's arm and pleaded, "Immortal maiden, please save me!"
Li An and Qi Xingchen were bound by their birth charts, destined to marry according to their ancestors' instructions despite never having met.
She had thought he might flee the wedding or suggest marrying and divorcing in a flash. It never occurred to her that he would send her a traditional Zhou dynasty wedding outfit.
It was the thing she loved most, something she thought only she knew about.
On their wedding day, red silk was strung from the foot of the mountain all the way to the summit.
What Li An thought would be a secret marriage turned into congratulations flooding the entire internet. Qi Xingchen made a show of pulling her into the cameras of every media outlet.
At the time, she thought he was doing it to trend, since he was a celebrity.
In reality, Qi Xingchen was thinking: I'm obviously showing off how happy I am!
*
Qi Xingchen had a crush on Li An.
From the time she casually shielded him when they were children, from the time she never remembered who he was, from the times he secretly hid nearby to keep her company while she cried, to the moment he realized his heart and eyes could hold no one else...
He knew that, for the rest of his life, Li An would be all the stars in Qi Xingchen's sky.
