-----------The irreverent blurb before the serious one----------

The day after the divine and demon clans renewed their alliance through marriage, the Three Realms Gazette ran a full eight pages longer than usual. As the three realms celebrated, people from every clan enjoyed their day off, flipping through the paper and catching up on the gossip.

"Leaders from all three realms gather in the Demon Domain to celebrate the divine-demon marriage"

"Read this! A rare photo of the Human Emperor Xie Zhixing and the Heavenly Emperor of the divine clan has surfaced"

"Shocking! Why did the divine clan's God of War and the demon clan's Green-Haired Guard Captain of the Xuanyu Guard come to blows on the night of the divine-demon wedding? Click the video link below to find out who won. (Time-Reversal Spell footage is copyrighted. Infringers will be prosecuted.)"

"Must-read! Second Princess Jiahe of the divine clan and Ji Ying, young master of the Ji family in the Demon Domain, may be close to tying the knot. Secret hand-holding photo from the wedding has been exposed!!"

Two gossip stories took up the entire front page of the Three Realms Gazette. Their headlines had been so popular for so long that sparks were already flying from the lettering.

First:

"Breaking: The doors of the Xuanfeng Hall in the Demon Palace are still shut at high noon. The Demon Lord and the eldest princess are passionately entwined! Absolutely sizzling!!!!!!!!"

"Our Three Realms Gazette reporters are still on the case. Stay tuned."

Second:

"Breaking: Yue Li, former Right Envoy of the Demon Domain (aka the demon clan's most dangerous, captivating beauty, the Thorned Rose), spends the night at the Right Envoy's residence with an unknown man! Could an old flame be rekindling?"

"The Three Realms Gazette has yet to secure an interview with the Thorned Rose, but will continue to follow the story."

Jia Rong dumped the mess on Xie Qingzhou and ordered him to deal with it at once. In the blink of an eye, the Gazette's headlines changed. A gold-embossed hot-off-the-press report overtook the story about the former Right Envoy and held on to first place, with sparks flying everywhere.

"Breaking: On the second day of their marriage, the Demon Lord personally cooks for the eldest princess! Such husband material! Come see and send your blessings!"

"Breaking: The Demon Domain has been transformed overnight, with brilliant sunflowers blooming across all twelve cities!"

The comments below were already filling with fresh posts:

"My handsome, noble idol married my goddess. I'm heartbroken..."

"That grand display of love! Who could see it and not say, 'Damn, that's true love'? Does anyone still not know sunflowers are Princess Jia Rong's favorite flowers?"

"I know! Anyone else get it... This couple used to be my dream pairing: the demon clan's Left Envoy and the goddess eldest princess, a delicate flower and a bold, dashing, domineering princess. Male O, female A. They hit all my buttons."

"The person above is practically about to lose their pants."

"How dare you call His Majesty, His Majesty, a delicate flower..."

"Bold words, but the rumors say he really was one once."

"But nowadays, he should be quite capable..."

"Absolutely. Just look at how things went last night."

----------------The serious blurb----------

/

A hundred years ago, a cataclysm shook the heavens and earth. The Demon Lord and his wife sacrificed themselves to save all living beings.

The new ruler of the Demon Domain seized the opportunity to rise to power. The Right Envoy, Yue Li, erased the divine mark on her young master Chen An's forehead and, fighting back tears, told him, "From now on, your name is Xie Qingzhou."

/

"They say the most famous young master in the three realms, Xie Qingzhou, was recently promoted to Left Envoy of the demon clan," some divine soldiers gossiped. "What a shame. He's a good-for-nothing, half human and half demon."

"If anyone ever got a glimpse of Young Master Xie's face, there'd be no shortage of goddesses willing to marry him, even if he were as frail as a willow!"

Passing by, Jia Rong, eldest princess of the divine clan, heard them. She flicked her sleeve, stroked the Yingxue Sword in her hand, and scoffed, "Just another pretty flower. How boring."

/

Xie Qingzhou had always known that revenge was a lonely, arduous path, and he had never wanted to drag anyone else into it. But the moment he saw Jia Rong again at the foot of Tianxi Mountain, the walls he had painstakingly built in his heart over the past hundred years came crashing down. He knew then that he would never let her go.

/

"You've told me more than once that sunflowers are your favorite." Xie Qingzhou gently eased Jia Rong's fingers apart and placed the flower in her palm. "To me, sunflowers are delicate and vibrant, bright and generous, just like you."

"Jia Rong." Xie Qingzhou gathered his courage and poured out everything he had been keeping inside. "A hundred years ago, you gave me this flower here. For a hundred years, I've held on to it through countless long nights. Today, I'm giving it back to you. Will you stay by my side from now on?"

Deep affection flashed in Xie Qingzhou's eyes. He didn't notice his voice had grown unsteady as his heartfelt words echoed through the cave. "Will you marry me, my little princess?"
