Also known as: After Ascending, I Sent You a Cloud
[Blurb]
Li Yunhuai is a provincial governor in the imperial court, but after being framed, he falls into a frigid pool.
He thinks he is sure to die, but not only does he emerge unharmed, his investigative skills improve by leaps and bounds. Soon, the people are calling him the incorruptible Judge Li.
Only Li Yunhuai knows it's because he is protected by a divine dragon.
The dragon can not only revisit events from the past, leaving no place for the culprit to hide,
it can also control the weather, making some yellow-haired young thief faint in the sun.
It can even enter people's dreams, scaring corrupt officials half to death.
Best of all, when the divine dragon takes human form, it becomes the most stunning beauty in the world...
Th-this, this, this... I'm willing! I'm willing to help you ascend!
[The Jianghu Gazette]
The rival's Nth attempt to send assassins after Governor Li has ended in failure once again.
This time, the flying dagger inexplicably curved in midair and plunged straight into the assassin's butt.
The assassin was traumatized in both body and spirit. From then on, just looking at a knife made his butt hurt, and he had to retire from the jianghu and make a living performing tricks.
After that, none of the jianghu's major organizations dared accept a contract to assassinate Governor Li.
Governor Li also became the longest-serving governor in the court's history, bar none!
[Blurb from the Female Lead's Perspective]
Jiang Yumo is the Dragon King's daughter. After breaking a celestial law, she is banished to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations.
She is just one tribulation away from ascending, but is trapped in a frigid pool, unable to move.
Just as she despairs, a handsome man suddenly falls from the sky and saves her from danger. She decides to grant the handsome man one wish, and he wishes to become a good official who benefits the people.
Jiang Yumo thinks he is very ambitious, so she decides to grant him another wish.
Who would have thought his next wish would be to marry her?
How can that be? Cross-realm romances never last! If she gives up her bright path to immortality for a man, won't the other female immortals despise her?
What should she do?
It's urgent! Waiting for advice online!
After ascending, Jiang Yumo sent Li Yunhuai a white cloud. It was refined from her true form, and there was only one like it.
She could not grant his second wish, so she could only hope the cloud would stay by his side in her place and keep him safe and well.
A month later, the young son of the Emperor, who had been single for years, suddenly came to propose. He insisted she fulfill her promise, or he would destroy her little white cloud!
Jiang Yumo, puffing up angrily: I don't want to get married! I've been so heartbroken this month, and my eyes even hurt!
The Emperor's youngest son: Is that any way to treat me? I've been thinking about you for thirty whole years! Not only do my eyes hurt, my heart hurts too!
