[Angsty exes-chasing-their-beloved-to-the-crematorium drama]
Lianlian was the last remaining Holy Heavenly Snow Lotus. Legend said its heart could bring the dead back to life. Before Lianlian could take human form, the legendary Immortal Zun Yuxun brought her home to raise.
He treated her wonderfully, tending to her every day. Once she took human form, he pampered her beyond measure.
Then, one day, the Immortal Zun suddenly said, "My junior sister has gone mad from cultivating. Lianlian, could you give me your lotus heart? I'll trade you anything."
They said his junior sister was a righteous wanderer who had been away for a long time, and that the Immortal Zun had waited years for her.
So he had a cherished first love after all.
Lianlian granted his wish. She dug out her own lotus heart, her face pale. "I don't need compensation. I want to leave the mountain."
"Immortal Zun, Lianlian never wants to come back again."
After leaving the mountain, Lianlian met the legendary Daoist Sect's Holy Son. They said he had the best chance of anyone in a thousand years of attaining immortality. But he was a troublemaker who drove the elders to sputtering fury every day, then ran off to cause a scene.
He took Lianlian on adventures. To save a fox demon, they pretended to marry, but on their wedding day his junior sister showed up.
"I'm sorry, Lianlian. I... we..."
Look at that. Even though it was a fake wedding, he couldn't bear to see his junior sister upset.
Lianlian granted his wish. She took off her wedding dress and left.
"Holy Son, I hope you get everything you wish for, live in peace and happiness, and never have to see Lianlian again."
Lianlian came to the wilderness, where there was a kingdom amid the yellow sands. Everywhere she looked, it was grand and magnificent, so beautiful it was hard to believe.
The young and promising Crown Prince liked to call her "Fairy Sister."
But the day his army marched through the city gates, he brought his junior sister to stand before her.
"Lianlian, you colluded with the Gobi Kingdom. Here is the evidence. What do you have to say?"
Lianlian looked at the handsome couple and suddenly understood.
Good-natured Lianlian: I'm done with these people. Why does every one of them have a first love, and why are they all junior sisters? I'm out!
"Darkened" Lianlian: Thanks. I'm about to embark on the path of ruthless cultivation.
But when Lianlian stopped paying attention to them, they seemed to become different people, begging her to look at them again.
The Immortal Zun's eyes reddened. "Please, Lianlian, come back with me."
The Holy Son looked haggard. "Lianlian, I sewed your wedding dress with my own hands. Please, just look at it."
The Crown Prince clung to her clothes and refused to let go. "Sister, I was wrong. Don't leave."
Lianlian: I'm already darkened!
★ Extremely melodramatic, fake darkening. The heroine is a ditzy beauty and won't really turn dark.
★ Her cultivation only goes from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core by the end. This isn't a story about an overpowered heroine.
★ No rivalry between women. They're all lovely girls, and all three first loves are good people. Note: one of the first loves is a man in women's clothing.
★ A crematorium-style pursuit of the heroine. The ending may have her happily single, or she may end up with someone, depending on how things go.
I'm starving, there's nothing to read, so I'm cooking for myself. It's this kind of melodramatic, old-school story, just saying.
Premise: All living things have feelings and spirits.
