After Our Divorce, the Daoist Venerable Is Carrying My Child

Lin Jian transmigrated into a cultivation novel about a heaven-defying protagonist, as the vicious female supporting character. The original owner needed to bear a girl to inherit her family’s sacred maiden legacy. But she loved someone else, so she picked a handsome man off the street. When money failed to tempt him, she locked him up and used special methods to get pregnant. After more than a year of trying without success, the original owner flew into a rage, beat him, called him a “useless man,” and stormed off. The unfortunate man she had abducted for no reason was the novel’s male lead: Lu Huaisha, Daoist Venerable of the Xuantian Sect. Not long after, Lu Huaisha’s soul returned to him. The first thing he did was capture the original owner, flay her and crush her bones, then slaughter her entire clan. When Lin Jian arrived, she found herself holding a whip, with a half-naked man covered in blood kneeling at her feet. The first thing out of her mouth was: “Useless man. Take the money and get out of here!” Meeting the murderous look in Lu Huaisha’s eyes, Lin Jian’s hand trembled. She dropped the whip, helped him up, and said, “Husband! I was wrong! Quick, bring five hundred million spirit stones so my husband can recover from the shock!” If Lu Huaisha ran into his former subordinates while out, he might regain his memories and reclaim his position as Daoist Venerable. Lin Jian’s attempt to keep him hidden away had failed, so she followed him around every day to keep him from meeting them, hoping to stay alive a little longer. When she figured Lu Huaisha was about to regain his memories, Lin Jian made a run for it one dark and stormy night. She managed to escape, but the problem of getting pregnant was still unresolved. One day, with a bucket of paste in her left hand and a stack of flyers reading “Beautiful Young Wife Seeks a Man to Father Her Child, Generous Reward” in her right, Lin Jian was pasting them all over town when someone grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to a wall. “Wife, you seem to be in a good mood.” Lu Huaisha’s face was dark as he opened his roomy cloak to reveal a slightly rounded belly. “You’ve only just conceived one, and already you want a second?” Lin Jian: ... I wasn’t pregnant, so how did you get pregnant?! # “Huaisha” comes from Qu Yuan’s “Embracing Sand” in his Nine Pieces, meaning “to embrace stones and sink oneself.” #[Highlight] The male lead and the original owner never had any intimate contact. The child is the female lead’s. [Coming soon: After My Love Letter Was Delivered to the Wrong Person!] Fourteen-year-old cultivator Jiang Zhizi has recently discovered the stirrings of first love and fallen for a sixteen-year-old fellow disciple. The young cultivator is both talented and handsome. Jiang Zhizi lacks confidence, so she secretly slips a love letter through his door every day. Then something major happens in the sect: their senior disciple Xu Qinghe returns. Xu Qinghe has been gone for twenty years, and no one knows what happened to him. Once the pride of the heavens, he has returned with disabled legs, failing eyesight, and a body ravaged by poison. He is practically an invalid. The renowned physician they summoned declares that Xu Qinghe has no more than ten days to live. On the first day after Xu Qinghe’s return, someone slips a letter through his door. The writing is tiny, and Xu Qinghe can’t make it out. Impatient, he flicks his brush and writes back, “Write bigger.” Sure enough, the next day the writing is larger, and Xu Qinghe can read the first line at a glance: “Senior Brother! I like you!” Xu Qinghe: ... I only have ten days left to live, and you’re telling me you like me? The letter is full of the sorts of thoughts that occupy a young girl. Xu Qinghe reads half of it, then tosses it into a drawer. He doesn’t write back at all. He’s going to die soon anyway, Xu Qinghe thinks. It makes no difference whether he replies. So another letter arrives on the third day, then the fourth, the fifth, and so on... Maybe it’s because the letters smell so nice, but Xu Qinghe takes one back to his room every day. On the tenth day, a torrential rain pours down outside. Xu Qinghe suddenly wonders if she’ll come by with a letter today. He lies in bed coughing up blood all day, keeping his eyes open and refusing to close them. He’s afraid that if he shuts his eyes, he’ll never learn the answer. Late that night, a soggy letter slips through the door: “Another day of liking Senior Brother.” Waiting for the letters, reading them, and staring into space over them become the only things Xu Qinghe does each day. When he finally manages to wheel himself out of his cave residence, he takes the girl who writes to him every day back to his room, pins her in a corner, and kisses her deeply. The girl looks as if she’s about to cry. “But you’re not the one I like...” Xu Qinghe no longer cares whether Jiang Zhizi likes him. He knows that in this life, there’s nothing he, Xu Qinghe, wants that he can’t get. Completed novels in my collection: 1. Western Fantasy: Rose Banquet 2.
