She was one of the few living beings born amid 20,000 years of war in the Nie River. A precious pearl, she had always wished to live a quiet, uneventful life beside the river. But fate doesn't always grant one's wishes. From the moment she rescued that blood-soaked man, nothing was ever ordinary again.
He was a god born from the primordial wilderness, a supreme God of War in the heavens. He had spent tens of thousands of years alone. He thought his whole life would be spent pacifying the four seas and fighting across the land, but when he awoke from a wound-induced slumber, the lovely figure reflected in his eyes stirred his hardened heart.
Their meeting was an accident, but it left an indelible mark on them both. She had freedom but was trapped in a tower; he had the world at his feet but was ensnared by love.
"Su Cang, I can't love you anymore."
This love was hidden in her heart, then vanished from the world as she returned to the mortal realm. She had hoped to close off her heart and love no more, but was soon thrown into confusion again. One glance across the mortal world, their eyes meeting and gazes intertwining, bound them together for a lifetime.
"My brave heroine, I'm just a scholar. I have no way to repay you for saving my life, so I'll have to offer myself to you."
The less serious version:
Zhu Yue was an ordinary college student in the 20th century, but an accident happened while she was tutoring. When she opened her eyes, she discovered she'd become an egg?
All the novels she'd ever read flashed through her mind. Could this unbelievable fortune really be hers?
But before she could even hatch, she was attacked by an unknown creature, then turned into a fish, a cat, a tiger...
In every life, accidents kept her from reaching adulthood. The last time, she found herself turned into something that looked like a rock. Zhu Yue decided to keep a low profile and live a quiet life, but after she picked up a handsome guy with a hopeless romantic streak, nothing was quiet anymore.
At first, Zhu Yue thought that finding him was a bargain.
Later, she realized she couldn't get rid of him. She had to find a way to deal with him!
So she faked her death and took someone else's place, planning to continue living carefree. But as she wandered into a place where women came to find comfort, the compassion for fallen women in her bones stirred. She was just about to step in when a familiar voice drifted by her ear: "Are they really better than me?" Zhu Yue turned stiffly. Wasn't this her hopelessly lovesick ex? His eyes were full of grievance as he stuck close to her, step by step.
"This time, I'll stay right by your side. I won't lose you again."
PS:
1. Every character has their own flaws.
2. This is a self-indulgent story I wrote for myself. Just read it for fun.
Theme: Stay true to yourself and keep moving forward.
