There is a rumor in the Immortal Realm that Feng Qi, the young princess of the Phoenix Clan, fell deeply in love with the God of War, Lian Fang. She took a fatal blow for him, damaging her soul and leaving her unconscious.
The Heavenly Emperor clapped his hands and arranged a marriage between Lian Fang and Feng Qi.
Lian Fang despised people who used a debt of gratitude to force others into repayment. He would rather live as a country bumpkin in the human realm than get married.
One day, while he was turning the soil, a radish rolled and rolled, crying out as it went, "Help! Somebody help! There's a demon trying to kill me!"
Plants becoming spirits was common, but this was the first time he'd ever seen a radish spirit.
He found it fascinating.
The little radish spirit wriggled in his hand, so he threatened it, "Move again and I'll roast you and eat you."
The little radish spirit cowered, sobbing in broken little gasps. It was hard not to feel sorry for it.
On its first day at his home, the little radish spirit was chased around by a chicken.
When she saw him, she immediately hid behind him and complained indignantly, "That chicken tried to kill a spirit! You have to lock it up!"
She was such a timid little thing, and so adorable.
Then one day... the little radish spirit disappeared.
He searched frantically, and finally found her by the stove, transformed into a human girl, curled up in a ball.
"I won't eat you. Don't be afraid of me."
The little girl looked at him with shining eyes. "Really? All right, it's a promise."
She placed her hand on his, and the tips of Lian Fang's ears turned red.
For the first time, he realized how soft a girl's hand could be.
But their happiness didn't last. The little girl grew weaker and weaker, and no matter what he tried, he couldn't save her.
A letter arrived from the Celestial Realm: Feng Wu, the young princess of the Phoenix Clan, had awakened, and the wedding was to take place that very day.
Lian Fang had already fallen for the little girl, and he was determined to call off the engagement.
*
After being unconscious for many days, Feng Qi awoke to find a marriage contract and a God of War fiancé waiting for her. Everyone also said she was deeply in love with him.
How could that be?
Everyone knew Lian Fang had no interest in love, and his imposing presence was terrifying. How could she like him? The person who saved her in her dream was the one who treated her well. No, she had to break off this engagement!
But instead, the first person she met was Immortal Venerable Lian Fang.
The tall man stood there like a wall. He was handsome, but icy, and the moment he saw her, he froze.
She thought perhaps there was something wrong with him.
Feng Qi walked up to him and pouted. "You're here to break off the engagement, right? Fine."
"But I'm the one breaking it off."
To her surprise, the cold-hearted God of War looked wounded. "No. I won't break it off, even if I die."
Huh? This wasn't how she'd imagined things going.
