The Goddess Langwan lost a bet with the Celestial Lord Qingxuan and had to descend to the mortal realm to help him endure his tribulation.
[First Life]
Shen Qingxuan vs. Bai Langwan
When she saw people humiliating him, she frowned.
"How can a dignified Celestial Lord be humiliated like this by mortals?"
In this life, she was his widowed sister-in-law. She looked after him in small ways, and when he placed first in the imperial examinations and became a top scholar, she felt her work was done and decided to fake her death.
Who could have guessed that after she'd spent barely a month enjoying herself in Jiangnan, she'd hear that the top scholar had resigned from office?
Afraid something had gone wrong with his tribulation, she hurried back in alarm. There she saw the once-obedient young man, eyes red, clutching her memorial tablet and calling her "Wanwan" over and over.
The tablet clearly read, "My beloved wife, Bai Langwan."
Only then did it dawn on her that she had come to help the Celestial Lord endure a romantic tribulation.
[Second Life]
Ji Qingxuan vs. Lin Langwan
The Goddess Langwan realized she'd been tricked, but having given her word, she couldn't take it back. She could only continue descending to the mortal realm, fuming.
In this life, she was the daughter of the prime minister, and he was the emperor's son.
She decided to take the initiative and get the mission over with faster.
Who could have guessed that even after they swore eternal love and promised to spend their lives together, she still wouldn't return to the immortal realm as she'd hoped?
One day, he incurred the emperor's wrath and was sent to defend the northern border.
Another day, she was chosen to become the new empress for political reasons.
The Goddess had no idea how things would turn out, so she decided to lie flat.
Until one day, the emperor died and she became the Empress Dowager.
That same day, with war raging and covered in blood, he came to see her and gazed at her with profound eyes. "From now on, I shall stay in the Empress Dowager's palace and serve you dutifully every day."
[Third Life]
Mo Qingxuan vs. Ji Langwan
In this life, she was the most honored Eldest Princess of Great Yan.
And he was her Crown Prince brother.
The Goddess Langwan declared that she was numb to it all.
She couldn't accept this forbidden love, so she decided to lose herself among flowers, keep male lovers, and escape the romantic tribulation of this life.
Who could have guessed that on the very first day she brought a male lover home, her dear elder brother would show up at her door, his face dark. "Wanwan, you're being naughty."
Looking at the Crown Prince, his arm locked around her waist, Langwan struggled to say, "This is immoral."
"If it weren't immoral, would you be willing?" he asked slowly, lightly biting her earlobe.
It turned out that he was a false Crown Prince who had been switched at birth.
Looking at Ji Qingxuan, who had lost everything, no, Mo Qingxuan, she couldn't help walking over and taking his hand. "You don't have to be Crown Prince. You can be my consort instead."
He looked at her for a long while, then smiled. "I've been plotting this for a long time."
After all three lives ended and she returned to the immortal realm, she pointed her sword at the Celestial Lord Qingxuan, furious.
The Celestial Lord Qingxuan's cool, distant expression vanished. He lowered his gaze and meekly admitted, "Wanwan, I told you."
"I've been plotting this for a long time."
