Tang Xi was a tiny, insignificant spark of firefly light born in the Hall of Fate. The Fate Deity granted him sentience and a great mission: help the High God Weisheng cast off his worldly attachments and return to his place among the immortals after completing his mortal tribulation.
The Fate Deity said, "Listen carefully. Your mission is to make him fall in love with you, then make him kill you, so he'll have to choose between his personal feelings and the greater good. Understood?"
Tang Xi touched his little neck. He had only just taken human form. "Will it hurt if the High God kills me?"
"If you succeed, I'll let you work as an assistant in the Hall of Fate and give you an immortal register."
"I'll do whatever it takes!"
No one was going to stop him from becoming immortal!
Weisheng Chen was the last Candle Dragon in the Three Realms. There was no other divine being like him, born with such power: he made day by seeing, night by closing his eyes, winter by blowing, and summer by breathing.
But five thousand years ago, the pampered High God Weisheng, born with divine power, lost a treasure during the war between gods and demons. After that, his temperament changed completely. He became cold, savage, bloodthirsty, and violent.
No one in the Three Realms wanted to provoke a dragon who always repaid a grudge.
In the mortal realm, Tang Xi became the second most renowned figure in the immortal sects, rivaling Weisheng Chen. Naturally, the number one was his conveniently assigned husband, chosen by the Fate Deity himself.
Xuan Mountain disciple: Our senior brother can summon lightning with his bare hands.
Ling Mountain disciple: So can our senior brother!
Xuan Mountain disciple: Our senior brother is the foremost of the immortal sects!
Ling Mountain disciple: Our senior brother could be the foremost next year too!
Tang Xi: No, I can't, I won't. I just want their senior brother to fall in love with me.
Senior Brother: All right, I'm in love with you.
In the first lifetime, after successfully seducing the High God, Tang Xi threw himself in front of Weisheng Chen's Heavenly Path Sword and had his golden core cut to pieces in an instant.
Overcome with joy at completing his mission and becoming an immortal, he held back tears and coughed up blood, collapsing into Weisheng Chen's arms. Enduring the agony of his shattered golden core, he stayed in character and said, "Senior Brother, I love you," before closing his eyes.
Tang Xi blinked and became a soul. His husband had gone white-haired in an instant from grief, and Tang Xi urged him on through his tears. "Husband, don't just cry, stab me again! I'm afraid I might come back to life!"
The next second, his husband crushed his own golden core with his bare hands and said, blood at the corner of his mouth, "I'll join you, Senior Brother."
Tang Xi: Wait! That's not how the script the Fate Deity gave me was supposed to go!
In his second life, Tang Xi became the legitimate son of a prime minister, while his conveniently assigned husband became the Crown Prince.
According to the script, although Tang Xi was the love of Weisheng Chen's life, their status meant they could only hold hands and gaze at each other through tears.
In the end, the entire prime minister's family was accused of plotting rebellion. At the execution ground, Weisheng Chen personally carried out the sentence and watched Tang Xi's head fall.
Tang Xi had just died again and hadn't even had time to laugh when the Fate Deity appeared. The Crown Prince had drunk poison and killed himself! He'd died with Tang Xi again!
In the third life, Weisheng Chen descended to the mortal realm first and became a renowned master of the immortal sects.
In this life, he cultivated the Way of the Unfeeling.
Tang Xi, who kept jumping around and shouting, "Master, love me!": This one's in the bag!
Until he stood beside his own corpse, carefree as ever, cheering him on. "Come on, husband, don't die this time!"
Then his conveniently assigned husband, overcome with grief, broke through his mortal form and became a god on the spot, grabbing Tang Xi's spirit.
The High God's eyes blazed with fury. "So it was you after all..."
Weisheng Chen was born a Candle Dragon, and in his true form he carried a candle in his mouth.
Five thousand years ago, he lost his candle.
Five thousand years later, he found his candle again.
A powerful, domineering gong who goes berserk when he loses his beloved and spoils his husband X a dedicated shou who wants to die and become immortal, pleading, "Please kill me."
