[The blurb and title have been adjusted to shift the focus. The original title was The Phoenix Lord Tricks the Bird and Refuses to Return Her Feathers.]
Wen Yingying couldn't understand it. As a wondrous songbird, she had a clear, melodious voice, colorful feathers, and immunity to all evil. So why did she lose her senses and do inexplicable things every time she saw Zhenjun Fuyou, who kept her as a pet?
Zhenjun Fuyou valued peace and quiet. Hoping to get him to look at her more often, Wen Yingying suppressed her instincts and kept quiet.
The only time she ever said much was when Zhenjun Fuyou went into cultivation deviation. She used her song to channel spiritual energy into him, staying awake day and night for a month until she was so exhausted she coughed blood. At last, she saved his life.
But he took her spiritual feathers to forge a magical artifact and gave it to Fairy Bairui.
Even then, she didn't leave his side. Later, when he went off to fight across the land, she died a brutal death protecting him.
Only when the sword pierced her heart did Wen Yingying learn the truth: she was a lovesick supporting female character in a novel, whose only purpose was to highlight just how special the male lead's love for the female lead was. No matter how much she gave, she didn't deserve so much as a second glance from him.
Fortunately, Heaven took pity on her and sent her back to the past.
This time, Wen Yingying ran without a moment's hesitation.
Zhenjun Fuyou didn't learn until after Wen Yingying's death that it was she who had stayed by his side day and night and risked everything to save him when he went into cultivation deviation, not Fairy Bairui. He had hurt and humiliated Wen Yingying for Fairy Bairui, yet she had still been willing to die for him.
After returning to the day he recovered from his cultivation deviation, Zhenjun Fuyou wanted only to return her feelings, protect her and ensure her happiness for the rest of their lives, and give her everything she wished for.
But his little bird had flown away.
He searched every corner of the Eight Wilds, but couldn't find so much as a single feather.
The once lofty immortal lord was distraught and broken, a fallen prodigy turned into a laughingstock.
At the Wandering Immortals Fair, Zhenjun Fuyou was drowning his sorrows in drink when he thought he saw Wen Yingying.
He shoved through the crowd like a madman, only to see his refined, reserved master, Xianjun Fengjing, holding Wen Yingying's hand and listening to her with his head bowed.
Xianjun Fengjing noticed him and beckoned him over. "This is your master's wife."
Everyone was astonished to see a ten-thousand-year-old iron tree finally bloom and the taciturn master speak. Only Zhenjun Fuyou stood with his head bowed before his wondrous songbird, who no longer had eyes for him.
"...Master's wife."
[Important]
1. The male lead is Xianjun Fengjing. The couple is a taciturn immortal lord and a chatterbox little bird.
2. The scumbag man doesn't get a second chance.
3. The blurb is serious, but the story itself is lighthearted~!!
Theme: Even furry fans get their springtime!
