Word has it...
The Dragon Prince is miserly and cold. When a clam spirit secretly kept one of his precious pearls, he wiped out the entire clam spirit clan.
Yet he once wept with red eyes and cut open his own chest, giving his most precious reverse scale to someone, asking only to keep her safe.
The young master of the Phoenix Clan is arrogant and cruel, fond of locking people in cages and enjoying the sight of them killing one another.
Yet rumor has it someone once saw him draped in sheer red gauze, blushing with embarrassment, barefoot in the snow, dancing a sacrificial dance over and over for the one he loved.
The Demon Emperor is powerful and ruthless. To secure his throne, he wages war far and wide, trampling the human race until rivers of blood run through the land.
Yet he favors a little demon by his side, indulging her as she oversteps her station and peers into the reins of power.
The Ghost King is gloomy and sinister. He commands a hundred thousand ghost soldiers, and no one but his nine great guardians knows what he truly looks like.
Yet he made a grand announcement of his sudden marriage, and rumors say that on their wedding night, his bride gouged out the ghostly flame in his heart.
The immortals were horrified: The tribulation of love was terrifying indeed!
The immortals, lost in misery over love they could not have, eventually discovered that all of them had the same person as their tribulation!
Ling Shisan: ~
*
Ling Shisan came from humble beginnings, but she wielded her beauty like a weapon and went about unchecked in Danzhou.
Clever, beautiful, and fiercely vengeful.
Then one day, a heavenly fire descended. The heat distorted the air, the people fled in anguish, and all of Danzhou became an empty, lifeless city.
Ling Shisan died, too.
Only after death did she learn that immortals lived above the clouds, looking down on the mortal world as if its people were mere ants.
She was not having it.
Note: 1. The heroine is scheming, amoral, and rather extreme in character. Her love interest is not any of the gods.
2. A collection of deliciously angsty, melodramatic tropes.
