[Aloof, unfeeling, and blunt heroine vs. beautiful, white-haired, sparkly-eyed hero]
[The Greatest God in the Universe X Ruler of the Underworld]
After Ji Yin died, her soul entered a game world.
It was filled with deadly traps and man-eating monsters, and countless players who had met unnatural deaths were trapped there.
Clearing every game level came with a chance to be reborn into a VVVVIP family of good people.
Damn, she'd better get a move on!
So everyone fought tooth and nail to clear levels, battle monsters, and level up.
One day, Ji Yin cleared a dungeon and came out with an egg trailing behind her.
Thinking it was just a hidden item, Ji Yin paid it no mind. But some time later, whatever was inside hatched...
Ji Yin gazed at the six-foot-three, white-haired, icy handsome man before her and fell into thought.
Were items in this day and age all this otherworldly beautiful?
After finally earning enough points, Ji Yin was told by the game's overseers that she didn't qualify for reincarnation.
Damn it, you waited until I'd cleared the whole game to tell me that?
In a fit of rage, Ji Yin gave these so-called divine envoys a thorough beating.
She'd heard that the true creator of the game was the King of Hell, so Ji Yin planned to beat him up too.
But the King of Hell had been missing for over a thousand years, and no one knew where he was.
Ji Yin made the rounds and, based on the descriptions from a few old ghost officials, learned that the so-called King of Hell was six-foot-three, white-haired, irresistibly beautiful, and fond of collecting shiny things.
The woman quietly glanced at the obedient, well-behaved, but formidable mute beauty trailing behind her. The jewels in his crown shone so brightly they nearly blinded her.
Ji Yin fell silent for a moment. "..."
No way. Absolutely not.
The War Against the Gods ten thousand years ago led to the tragic death of the first god, the Primordial Chaos God, born at the dawn of creation.
Bian Yin had witnessed the whole thing. Hearing them brand her as evil filled him with grief and indignation.
When he was still a little phoenix, the Primordial Chaos God had passed by one day and casually pulled him out of a pond where he was about to drown.
Later, at the grand feast of the gods, the mighty Primordial Chaos God turned a world-creating gem she'd won into a hair clasp and tossed it to Bian Yin, who was being mocked by the gods for his disheveled appearance.
That was how she struck his heart, too.
In the age when Ji Yin was condemned by everyone, only this little phoenix secretly gathered up her divine bones. He hid in the lightless depths of hell, used up all his divine power to build a world, and kept watch in slumber for tens of thousands of years.
At long last, he was reunited with the Primordial Chaos God.
He held back and kept his strength hidden, carefully gathering enough power to recreate his body.
The moment he emerged from the egg, Bian Yin gazed at the woman before him, filled with joy.
But the other woman only stared at him in silence for a long while before muttering, "Not bad-looking. Even if he's mute, he'd still look pretty cool as my partner in the competition."
Bian Yin, naturally reserved and taciturn: "?"
