How Can You Be the White Moonlight Without Going Crazy?

·The main story and epilogue are complete. Bonus chapters will be updated over time.

[Calm, resilient moonlight beauty vs. sick, eldritch monster daddy]

[Dark, male-rivalry love triangle chaos / Everyone has unrequited feelings for her]

In her ninth year in the Immortal Realm, the fiance who had once sworn eternal love to her married someone else.

Jiang Zhen had thought that everything in her past was her fault, and that she had been terribly, terribly wrong.

Only after waking from a dream did she learn that in her previous life, she had been nothing but an ordinary human who was the protagonist's early-dead moonlight beauty in a storybook. When she was still in the mortal world, she had become engaged to the male lead while he was there undergoing a trial. But she had died at the height of their love, her remains forever left behind in the mortal world.

Years after her death, the male lead, who had "loved" her deeply, would mistake the heroine for her because they looked alike, treating the heroine as her substitute and embarking on a romance full of heartbreak and torment.

None of this should have had anything to do with her.

But she hadn't died in that accident after all.

Not only had she survived, she had also returned to the Immortal Realm with the male lead. The gods gossiped: A mortal is destined to die. How could she possibly be with an exalted Emperor?

She endured the strange looks from the immortals and the indifference of her elders for the sake of the affection they had shared as youths. It wasn't until he met the heroine that Jiang Zhen's heart finally died.

Her attempts to resist and escape only led to increasingly tight confinement. Gradually, she realized that the world she knew was revealing a deeply unsettling side

Her seemingly devoted fiance discussed marriage with someone else as if nothing were amiss, while imprisoning her against her will.

The gentle, kind substitute heroine from the stories broke into her room with a sword at her throat on the very night she and her fiance discussed marriage, yet a strange light appeared in her eyes.

And she was tormented day after day by a monster. Cold snake scales slithered over her body, and through the haze, she glimpsed a pair of eerie, silver-white eyes floating in midair.

The elder who had always treated her with indifference clutched her fingertips tightly and pressed his face tenderly against hers, as if savoring her scent.

"He makes you unhappy, so why would you leave me?"

·The ex-husband isn't the male lead, stop criticizing him. His ashes have already been scattered.

Content warnings:

1. Male-rivalry harem and love-triangle chaos. The heroine is everyone's moonlight beauty.

2. The heroine isn't a lovesick fool, and there's a reason for that. All the male characters are lovesick fools, rabid dogs, or lunatics.

3. My take on xianxia, all original worldbuilding. It's just a trashy wish-fulfillment romance.

4. The male lead has a human upper body and a snake's tail, with some horror and eldritch elements. Please read with caution.

Theme: Always remain true to yourself in love
