After Xu Qiandu transmigrates into the body of a demon lord, all she wants is to ascend to the Celestial Realm and seek the righteous path of cultivation.

After going to great lengths to enter the Heavenly Gate, she sets her sights on the Celestial Market Immortal, Lingming, and insists on taking him as her master.

But Lingming discovers that she looks like his mortal wife from three hundred years ago.

Wary of her status as a demon lord, Lingming assumes she has ulterior motives and is determined to get to the bottom of things.

After thoroughly investigating Xu Qiandu's soul and emotions, Lingming even visits the Demon Realm himself, only to conclude that she may have inherited his wife's soul essence.

When Xu Qiandu hears the news, she decides to become a stand-in so she can successfully become his disciple!

But as she plays the role, Lingming insists, "You're not her stand-in," and even begins to show signs of liking her.

But Xu Qiandu only wants him as her master. She has no intention whatsoever of turning her stand-in act into the real thing.

To help Lingming resurrect his wife, she travels far to Penglai Mountain in search of an immortal herb, but is set up and loses her life.

Moved by compassion, the Celestial Realm calls upon the Primordial Illusory Realm to save her. The price is the loss of all her memories.

But after Xu Qiandu enters, she discovers that the Celestial Market Immortal has followed her in and somehow become her junior disciple!

Both leads are virgins, 1v1, happy ending~

Note: The immortal realm and the identities of the immortals are based on ancient Chinese astronomy.

[Coming soon 1: My Lord, My Reliance (Rebirth), a revenge story about taking down scumbags, with the second male lead becoming the love interest. A resilient, calculating general's daughter who acts demure but is ruthless underneath x a suave, irreverent nobleman who pretends to be a playboy.]

Plot:

In her previous life, Fang Ruyi, the only daughter of a general stationed at the border, obeyed the emperor's decree and her father's wishes and married Yuan Shi, Prince of Liang. But He Ling, a merchant's daughter who wanted to become Princess of Liang, secretly poisoned her.

She thought Yuan Shi knew nothing about it, until she discovered he and He Ling had been lovers for a long time.

When she refused to join his rebellion, Yuan Shi had He Ling continue poisoning her, leaving her barely alive. Her once-renowned beauty, famous throughout the capital, was ruined beyond recognition.

After Yuan Shi ascended the throne, he framed her entire family for treason, causing her father and brothers to die when the enemy broke through the defenses at the distant border.

Reborn, she is once again a sheltered young woman awaiting an arranged marriage.

In this life, she vows to take revenge, settle accounts with everyone who destroyed her family, and protect her father and brothers before Yuan Shi can strike.

She stays in the capital, using schemes to advance her plans and plans to shape the larger game, all so that if a storm ever breaks, she can become a refuge for her family.

Romance:

Having lived a second life, Fang Ruyi knows that her marriage must be part of a careful plan.

She needs the backing of a powerful, prestigious family to stand up to Prince Liang.

When she first meets Jiang Yuchen, she assumes he is merely the son of a wealthy family in the capital. No matter how much she feels for him, she keeps it to herself.

Later, she learns he is a nobleman of high standing, the emperor's uncle by marriage, and finds herself torn between liking him and using him.

At last, Jiang Yuchen tells her himself, "I hate the He family too, and I can't stand that hypocritical Prince Liang. I heard you're planning to break off your engagement to him, so I figured we were kindred spirits and came to see the fun."

Only then does she realize that what he feels for her is nothing more than friendship. There is no romance in it.

Once she puts her feelings away, seeing him again becomes much easier.

But one day, Jiang Yuchen says to her with a grim expression, "I heard my grandnephew has taken a liking to you. The He family is still standing, so how can you afford to lose yourself in romance?"

She answers helplessly, "Your grandnephew is the one who won't leave me alone..."

"How about we pretend to be engaged and put an end to his hopes?"

#He never believed in fate's arrangements. He only knew that when it came to love, you had to fight for it.#

1. Both leads are virgins. Happy ending.

2. The plot takes a serious direction, but the writing is still lighthearted. Romance and plot get equal focus.

[Coming soon 2: All Villains, Help Me Become an Immortal, featuring a sweet, innocent heroine with extraordinary magical powers x a black-hearted hero who throws the Celestial Realm into chaos.]

Han Jin is the only immortal in the Ruins of Return with an intact immortal body.

The Ruins of Return are filled with poisonous miasma. All the wicked immortals banished there do everything they can to rebuild their seven emotions and six desires, hoping to ascend to the Celestial Realm, become cultivators, and earn the chance to rise as true immortals.

She has no interest in any of it.

She's simply too poor to afford enough food, let alone practice magic.

To earn more money, she keeps up several fake romances with wicked immortals at once, helping them restore their emotions and desires.

The wicked immortal next door, Shufeng, has looked after her since childhood, though she has never seen his face. He sends her an invitation, claiming he is practicing the Way of Ruthlessness and wants her to come by and flirt with him, so he can reach the state of passing through a field of flowers without a single leaf clinging to him.

She works out a plan that's seventy percent about making money and thirty percent about repaying his kindness, then visits Shufeng's grand residence that very day, expecting to squeeze a hefty sum out of him. But Shufeng tells her that the two of them share a blood feud with an immortal in the Celestial Realm.

She immediately decides to cultivate the Way of Ruthlessness together with Shufeng and escape the Ruins of Return alongside the wicked immortals who also want revenge.

Four wicked immortals ascend through the Heavenly Gate and become cultivators, all the while plotting their revenge in secret and vowing to plunge the entire Celestial Realm into chaos.

Only when Han Jin stands alone with a long sword beneath a spell formation capable of destroying heaven and earth does she realize that Shufeng's earlier words were full of schemes against her.

Later, she sacrifices herself to the formation and proves her Dao with her wish to protect the Three Realms, becoming an immortal of the Celestial Realm. Shufeng, however, knows nothing of this and searches the mortal world for her for thirty thousand years.

Both leads are virgins, 1v1, happy ending~
