Xu Ming was born on the thousandth anniversary of the cultivation world. In a thousand years, no one else had ever possessed both immortal bones and a sword heart. She was a genius without equal.
The master of the Divination Heaven Sect foretold that Xu Ming would face a great trial and a great calamity at eighteen. At fifteen, full of youthful bravado, Xu Ming went and beat up everyone in the Divination Heaven Sect.
On Xu Ming's eighteenth birthday, a lightning tribulation struck without warning. Eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning shook the sect to its foundations.

As the thunder slowly faded, Xu Ming blinked and found herself in an unfamiliar world.
A red veil covered her head. She wore a red dress and held a red cord tied with a large red flower.
Beside her stood a ridiculously handsome young man dressed in red.
Xu Ming, whom the Divination Heaven Sect had declared destined to be alone forever, happily took the young man's hand and completed the wedding rites. Then she drew her life-bound sword, ready to cut open this world and take her new husband back to her sect.
Her new husband smiled bashfully. "Really?"

Xu Tingzhou was a major boss in the amusement park's supernatural survival game, but he unexpectedly awakened to consciousness and became a bug in the System.
He decided to observe the little people who came and went, signed an autonomy agreement with the System, and occasionally took a cameo role as an NPC in other game worlds.
When he was playing an NPC who needed to be wed in a ghost marriage, the young woman who had married him lifted her own red veil. Her eyes shone like stars.
The confident young woman said to him, "Husband, I'll get you out of this haunted place! Then you'll marry into my family. My masters will be grinning from ear to ear!"
"I have no parents, just seven masters and the uncles and aunts at my sect. They'd never give you a hard time!"
After listening, Xu Tingzhou found it rather amusing. He said to her with a troubled look, "I've made a deal with the System. I have to complete another hundred tasks before I can..."
"Let's go. We'll tear the System apart right now!"
System: ???

System: What did I do wrong this time?
Heaven's Will: I feel your pain.

A silly, comedic story.
Theme: Even in darkness, you can still glimpse the light.
