Wu Chengshui (Goddess Xiang) x Qin Bohuai
Rebellious goddess vs. fallen genius
Everyone in the immortal sects knew that the Qin clan of Huaishui and the lineage of the Goddess of Wushan, both cultivators of water-based immortal arts, had been at odds for over three hundred years.
In this generation, the Qin clan of Huaishui had been the first to produce someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and were even more boastful, vowing to trample the Wushan clan underfoot.
Wu Chengshui, the senior disciple of Wushan, coolly replied, "Is a Heavenly Spiritual Root really that impressive? Your young lady Qin Bohuai has one too, but after someone broke off her engagement, all she could do was cry by the Luoshui River, couldn't she?"

Qin Bohuai, whose old left-eye injury made her cry nonstop: ...
She was going to make Wu Chengshui pay!

Wu Chengshui was a peerless genius in the cultivation world, a prodigy who could have her way in anything.
Everyone envied her meteoric rise and her haughty disdain for all rivals, but only Qin Bohuai knew that every full moon, this woman turned into Goddess Xiang, with tearful eyes, a pitiful demeanor, and feeble spiritual power.
Qin Bohuai decided to take advantage of the opportunity to teach her a lesson with a puppet gu.
"I'm an honorable person, you know. Now that you've been infected by this gu, I won't make you do anything indecent. Just one thing: sign and seal this document obediently, then say to the Bagua mirror, 'Sister Bohuai, I was wrong. I shouldn't have talked nonsense. Please forgive me, Sister Bohuai.'"
The document promised compensation of one hundred thousand spirit stones, eight spirit artifacts, six spirit beasts, and two spirit mountains.
If she signed, Qin Bohuai would make a fortune.
And if she sold the exclusive scoop to the cultivation world's gossip bureau, the Qin clan of Huaishui would surely beat the Wushan clan at their own game.
Qin Bohuai waited smugly for Wu Chengshui to sign, but to her surprise, as the other woman cried, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she summoned wind and rain.
Qin Bohuai: "?"

The Thousand-Household Miao Village solemnly apologized for accidentally turning its puppet gu product into a love gu.
In response, Qin Bohuai, who had spent three days and three nights entangled in passion with a certain rival whose surname was Wu, indignantly declared: "What a garbage merchant! Give me back my innocence!"
Meanwhile, the senior disciple of Wushan stared pensively at the compensation agreement that hadn't been signed that night.
This... seems a little too meager as a betrothal gift.
