My Shadow and I, Together as Three

A series of standalone stories in which a trio descends to the mortal realm to bring about ninety-nine marriages destined to last ten lifetimes.

A cat demon who cuts corners through life in all three realms and is always looking for shortcuts to immortality * the young lord of the Ghost Realm, warm on the outside and cold within, clingy like a little wolf cub at first, but showing his fangs later * the Heavenly Realm's foremost warrior, upright and taciturn, cold on the outside and warm within

The Matchmaker descended to inspect a shrine and brought a little cat demon back to the Heavenly Realm along the way.

The cat demon did odd jobs day after day, hoping to become an immortal as soon as possible. But she accidentally altered the Book of Marriage and caused the young lord of the Ghost Realm, Yan Jingxian, to be born into the world.

On the day Yan Jingxian was born, flowers withered and trees dried up within a thousand li, and the mortal realm suffered a drought for ten years.

War broke out throughout the mortal realm. Corpses stretched for a thousand li, and the land was littered with the starving dead.

The Heavenly Emperor flew into a rage. The God of War led the expedition himself, and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers flattened the Ghost Realm.

The Ghost Lord was imprisoned in the Demon-Sealing Tower. The Ghost Queen, holding her child who was not yet a month old, leapt into the sea of flames in the Ghost Realm.

The cat demon was also thrown into the Demon-Sealing Tower for causing this catastrophe.

A thousand years later, the Astrologer foretold that the young lord of the Ghost Realm would return and unite the Three Realms.

Terrified, the Heavenly Emperor sent the cat demon to bring about ninety-nine marriages destined to last ten lifetimes. She was to take a strand of red thread from each bride's wedding dress on her wedding day.

The ninety-nine strands would join to form a red cord, which would transform into a short blade. Stabbing it into the young lord of the Ghost Realm's heart would use the joy of a wedding to suppress his murderous rage, allowing his soul to be completely destroyed.

The bond between a married couple destined to be together for ten lifetimes can increase one's cultivation, so it is coveted by demons and monsters.

So Shan Yuyi descends to the mortal realm with Fu Huacang, the Heavenly Realm's foremost warrior, to bring about ninety-nine such marriages. Along the way, they encounter Yan Jingxian, who harbors ulterior motives. The three of them work together in the mortal realm to bring about ninety-nine marriages.

Three's company, and there's always one person left playing gooseberry.
