After Faking My Death, I Became the Immortal Lord's Beloved

Jiang Yu is a mortal orphan girl who was bought and sold. By chance, a young master as bright as the breeze and moon saves her, and from then on she becomes a servant in his household. As she watches his family get wiped out and the servants scatter, Jiang Yu says nothing and chooses to follow him quietly, no matter how much hardship she endures. When they're fleeing and have no food, she pretends to be calm and says she's not hungry, saving her rations for the boy. At his casual remark, she impulsively steals money to buy him pastries for his birthday, and the servants who catch up beat her until she's covered in bruises. She still smiles and shakes her head at the boy, telling him she's fine... She watches him set foot on the path of immortality. Jiang Yu quietly follows down this unfamiliar, trembling path, even though she falls and gets covered in bruises, never regretting it. And when his leg is broken, she goes through immense trouble and drags her battered body to obtain a jade lotus that can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bone. Then, enduring pain throughout her body, she presents it to the boy. She watches him rebuild his life and regain his former glory. And she's the only woman by his side. Jiang Yu naively thinks she's different. After accompanying him day after day, surely he must feel at least a little something for her. She watches him reunite with his pretty, charming childhood sweetheart. He gives her a tender smile he has never once given Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu's heart feels as if it's being cut by a knife; the pain steals her breath. Yet she still chooses to quietly stay by his side, just as she always has. Until the childhood sweetheart is in danger. One life for another. Facing this choice, Jiang Yu thinks that after all these years together, he should at least hesitate. She never imagines that he'll discard her so decisively. He strikes her with a palm, shattering every bone in her body... An excruciating pain seems to drill into her marrow. She looks up in disbelief. But the man is expressionless. He doesn't even glance at her, rushing straight over to catch the childhood sweetheart as she falls. She can no longer follow him. Perhaps she never managed to catch up with him at all... With regret and resentment in her heart, Jiang Yu dies quietly, just as she always has. After her death, he mourns the past in grand fashion, until everyone in the vast cultivation world knows that the lofty Immortal Lord has a tender past, too unforgettable to mention. . With the help of the System, Jiang Yu is reborn. Sitting in a little inn, she listens to the cultivators outside spouting nonsense, lights a cigarette with a world-weary air, and complains to the System: "No wonder he's the villain. He hits so hard. Damn it, I was so good to him! After spending so long together, surely we had at least some affection, even if it wasn't deep love. Why hasn't he been redeemed yet?! I'm waiting for his resentment to disappear so I can hurry up and go home!" . Li Zeyu always thought Jiang Yu was just a friend, someone he could take or leave. When she died, he was calm. As if she'd been a stranger who didn't matter. But again and again, in the dead of night, he kneels on the ground, trembling as he reaches out in anguish to hold her shattered body. Jiang Yu turns into countless points of starlight and vanishes in his arms like an illusion. Grief surges like a raging sea. The sleepless nights torment him until he wishes he were dead. When he finally sees the person he's yearned for day and night, alive and standing right in front of him, this dignified Immortal Lord forgets every spell he knows. Just as he tries to rush forward and hold her tight, she gently yet cruelly plunges a dagger into his chest. Jiang Yu's voice is light and airy, with a hint of cheer. "Goodbye, target of my mission." . Only after Jiang Yu dies does Li Zeyu realize that no one else will ever treat him as well as she did. She was a tender ray of moonlight he would never find again. Reader's Guide: 1. One-on-one romance, both leads have no other partners, happy ending. 2. The male lead remains hopelessly in love throughout. 3. A little angst for the heroine, a lot of angst for the hero. Don't read if that's not your thing. 4. More to come... The cover art is by the artist Tang Jiuxi, a lovely person with a kind heart. ovo The neighboring novel, The Tragic Romance Heroine Takes the Dragon-Pride Protagonist Route Shen Sang Sang discovers she's the heroine of a crematorium-revenge novel. She'll be abused by her biological father and master, betrayed by the junior brother she raised from childhood when he falls for someone else, and entangled in a messy, tragic romance with the Demon Lord male lead, who mistakes her for his moonlight and loves and hates her, treating her as a substitute and tormenting her both physically and emotionally. And that's just some of the clichéd plot points. Only after she dies will they come to their senses, suffer unbearable remorse, and realize what they've done, but by then, they won't be able to bring her back... Knowing the entire plot, Shen Sang Sang is reborn at thirteen. "..." What kind of lousy story is this? If you won't show me any mercy, don't expect any from me! . To avoid repeating the past, Shen Sang Sang cuts ties with everyone and blazes through life, beating the crap out of every idiot in her way. Then she finally realizes: Heh, beating people up is fun! . #TheRiseOfTheHammerQueen# #HowToBecomeASuccessfulVillain# #DoYouKnowHowSadIAm# #IfILoseThenEveryoneLoses# Theme: Stay unyielding in adversity.
