At first, she only felt sorry for the little god. No one worshipped him, and she worried his divine essence would dissipate, so she casually burned him some incense. She never expected the guy to latch onto her and even show up in her bedchamber!
"Please, Your Highness, show me some affection."
The languidly reclining princess summoned all the handsome male gods she kept. Some massaged her legs, others kneaded her shoulders. She gave him a look. "You can stay. You'll be just like them."
Three months later
Extra, extra! Yun Tianjiao, the top incense-burner on Immortal Venerable Qingyuan's worshipper rankings and the Grand Princess of Yun Chi, has gone to burn incense for some obscure wandering immortal! She even built him nine hundred and ninety-nine shrines in one go! Is she cheating on her old favorite?!
*
One day, Immortal Venerable Qingyuan, whose offerings had dwindled considerably, appeared in the grand princess's bedchamber. He caught hold of her flowing sash and asked with a suggestive look, "What must I do to win back Your Highness's favor?"
A certain nameless little god, too frail to fend for himself, happened to see the scene. His gaze settled on the sash Qingyuan had touched, and he said mournfully, "Your Highness, your sash... it's dirty."
Yun Tianjiao immediately pulled the sash off and tossed it to the floor. "Fine. Then I don't want it anymore."
Immortal Venerable Qingyuan: "..."
The little god's peach-blossom eyes curved with a smile as he played the spoiled favorite to perfection. Yet when he met Qingyuan's gaze, the tender, yearning look he wore for the grand princess turned cold and contemptuous. It was as if, between the two of them, he was the lofty god and Qingyuan was nothing but an ant.

They say this generation's Ghost King was born the lowliest kind of desire ghost, yet eventually rose to rule the Underworld. But no one knows how he became one.
Desire ghosts are born when people die consumed by lust, unable to let go of their carnal desires. They are usually more beautiful and bewitching than fox spirits, with a power to ensnare the soul.
One night, the proud grand princess tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She beckoned a certain god waiting nearby to tell her a bedtime story.
"Once upon a time, there was a young man. A woman deceived him, and after they spent a rainy night together, he lost his heart and became lovesick..."
Yun Tianjiao grew drowsy and asked in a lazy voice, "And then?"
The black-haired, dark-eyed god gazed at her with deep affection, his voice gentle and pleasant.
"And then that woman ran away..."

A little promotion for my next contemporary romance, Four CEOs Line Up to Marry Me. If it sounds interesting, visit Peach's author page and add it to your collection!
What's it like to have a group of rich kids surrounding you since elementary school?
Zhou Mo: It makes you resent the rich, so I'm going to get rich myself, then smack those idiots in the face with bundles of cash and make them kneel and call me Dad!
When Zhou Mo was six, her father won the lottery. He couldn't stand all the relatives and friends showing up to borrow money, so he spent every last cent on a villa in a wealthy neighborhood and sent his precious daughter to the nearby private school for the rich. And so Zhou Mo's nightmare began. She thought all her classmates were crazy. They got in her way at school and kept hanging around after school, too, because her mom ran a little after-school meal service at home.
When Zhou Mo was fifteen, she got into the best high school in the city. Meanwhile, all sorts of things happened in the villa community
A snobbish young heir's family underwent a sudden calamity and his parents died. The Zhou couple adopted him, making him Zhou Mo's brother in the eyes of the law.
The sons of two nouveau riche families, known as the "Twin Bullies," were exposed as having different fathers after their mother cheated. One of them became the son of the neighborhood security guard.
The aloof boy Zhou Mo thought seemed most normal was moving to Beijing because of his parents' work. Before he left, he cornered Zhou Mo on her way home from school and said he wanted to get a room with her.
At twenty-four, three years after graduating from college, Zhou Mo finally had her own company in Beijing. She was riding high, never expecting those former "crazy patients" to become domineering CEOs and show up one after another, all for one reason: to propose to her.
CEO Number One knelt in front of her, gripping her hand and refusing to let go. "Real or fake, we're already married. As long as I don't divorce you, you'll always be my legal wife."
CEO Number Two pinned her against the bedroom door, eyes bloodshot. "Am I your brother? Don't call me that. I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to be your brother."
CEO Number Three punched the wall over and over as if punishing himself, his voice hoarse and trembling. "What's so great about my brother? Why do you want him and not me?"
CEO Number Four used the excuse of being drunk to trap her between the chair and his arms. He looked dangerous, but his expression was aggrieved. "If you need a fake marriage, why marry someone else instead of me?"
Zhou Mo: "..."
What's the point of being rich, handsome, and charming? Killing him for meat would be illegal. Better to raise a pig.
From a woman who doesn't want to be Cinderella, she wants to be a boss
Theme: Words can hurt
Earlier I said it was treasonous for a woman to have a good face, and now I say that the people's customs are open. Isn't it contradictory?
Is the emperor going to be replaced?
It couldn't have been a grave bag, right?
No way, the emperor is so stupid
Tie. As expected of ancient times, little people always died so easily and reasonably. I like my wife's writing!
Hahahahahaha so confident [covering face and peeking]
😭 I can't tell. I'm just so moved that I want to cry. It's beautiful.
Help, this Yuntianqi...
After chasing it all in one day, I feel sour.
I thought we were letting the princess fly by herself
