Yan Mountain Pavilion

A modern fantasy novel, also known as The Beautiful Thousand-Year-Old Demon Says She's My Wife.

Yan Qiuting was treated like the family prodigy for over twenty years because an old Daoist said she had a natural affinity for the Dao. Then she joined the civil service, and on her very first day on the job, her leader handed her a huge responsibility. Holding a thermos, he pointed to a bunch of youngsters and said, "I'll leave the task of promoting peace among the three realms to you young people!"

She was full of enthusiasm, thinking she'd come to save the world. But in less than two years, the Special Investigation Office, which had been entrusted with so much hope, had become a complete mess.

At last, she couldn't take it anymore and wanted to quit and go home to live like a pampered young lady. Her leader just smiled kindly. "It's all right. I'll give you another chance."

Yan Qiuting: "??? Is something wrong with you?"

This time, her leader pointed to a mountain and said, "See that? Climb it. Your destined opportunity is up there."

She went, her face dark with exasperation. She found no opportunity, but did bring back a troublesome elder.

The elder was beautiful, had an incredible presence, and was absurdly powerful. But the way she looked at Yan Qiuting... seemed a little off.

Later, Yan Qiuting finally understood.

Damn! I treated you like an elder, but you treated me like your husband!

The elder smiled coolly. "Any more questions?"

Yan Qiuting swallowed. "No questions at all. I... can do this!"

Ning Yunhuan had waited at the foot of the mountain for hundreds of years. At last, she sensed a familiar presence once more.

Wind and snow swept across Lingyun Mountain as she climbed the steps. The wind calmed, the snow cleared, and daylight broke through.

She looked up at the clear sky and thought, So you know you wronged me after all.

This was the fourth time she'd stood in front of this Daoist temple.

The first time, she'd knelt here for three days, begging Yan Qiuting to marry her.

The second time, she'd brought a group of officials to beg Yan Qiuting to enter public life.

The third time, she'd brought Yan Qiuting's body and begged her to come back to life.

They were always moving in opposite directions. When she wanted Yan Qiuting to save her, Yan Qiuting was cold as ice. Later, when she wanted Yan Qiuting to stay alive, Yan Qiuting used her own life to atone.

This time, she only wanted to see her. She hadn't planned on doing anything else, but that person stood inside the doorway and said, "You're finally back."

This heartless woman might still be worth saving.
