Half-Immortal

[Ongoing]

The first time Heng Xi descended to the mortal realm, she saved someone. Later, she discovered he wasn't human.

"So what are you, an immortal or... a demon?"

Before she could figure it out, she had to undergo her tribulation.

"Immortal or demon, it makes no difference. Once I've saved the Six Realms, I'll come back and get to the bottom of you."

For five hundred years, calamities and turmoil ravaged the mortal world. To save it, Hao Yuan turned his own body into the source of life for the human realm.

After destroying his foundations like that, he probably wouldn't survive.

But then he met Heng Xi, a kind and brave little fairy who knew nothing of the ways of the world.

Through his long life, he had never once regretted anything.

The only exception was the moment the Demon Lord forced him to reveal his true form in front of Heng Xi, and he saw fear in her eyes.

"Don't die." Heng Xi's eyes were red-rimmed.

She pressed her forehead against Hao Yuan's. "The Six Realms are at peace. I'll come find you."

Heng Xi was neither immortal nor human.

Reason for entering the contest: Heng Xi is a half-immortal of modest cultivation who descends to the mortal realm in search of immortal insight, vanquishing demons along the way. As she undergoes her tribulation, Heng Xi holds fast to the belief that everyone is born with a purpose, and that both immortals and humans should protect the world with their own strength. In the end, Heng Xi grows step by step into the most revered immortal in the Immortal Realm, and continues protecting all living beings alongside the one she loves, never failing the Six Realms.

One true pairing, half-immortal heroine x high god. The heroine isn't romance-brained.
