Next preorder: Good Rain Knows Its Season
Blurb:
The Xia Yang Kingdom fell, and its princess sacrificed herself to the Kunlun Divine Mirror. In a single day, she ascended to become an immortal maiden of the Jade Terrace.
All the heavenly officials knew that the Hall of Fuli housed a cold and ruthless immortal lord, clad in blue and frosty as ice.
One day, she accidentally entered a barrier and saw herself and Immortal Lord Lu Cang marrying in the Kunlun Divine Mirror.
When they first met, he scowled and ignored her, treating her with indifference.
The immortals said, "The Jade Terrace maiden Qingying is pure as jade. Her destined match with Immortal Lord Lu Cang is sure to be a beautiful tale."
At that, Lu Cang scoffed in disdain, flicked his sleeves, and walked away.

Yue Ming underwent a trial in the mortal world.
She heard that her childhood sweetheart, to whom she'd been betrothed since infancy, had died on the battlefield.
That immortal lord who cared only for the mountains and streams, with no interest in worldly affairs, was afraid she'd be left a widow, so he possessed the body of the young master of the Shen family.
On their wedding night, a hand with elegant, distinct knuckles lifted her veil.
Silver hair, cool eyes lowered.
He looked as cold and aloof as frost, yet his eyes held a tender affection that flowed on like a gentle rain.
-
Back in the heavenly court.
Cold and indifferent in public, with no interest in romance, he repeatedly made exceptions for her in private.
In a forgotten corner of the celestial palace, a gentle breeze stirred, and parasol blossoms drifted from the sky.
He pinned her against the red wall and kissed her almost breathlessly. His voice was low and trembling. "I don't want you looking at anyone else, ever again."
The ancient ferocious beast Jiao Kui wreaked havoc among mortals, until Emperor Jiu shot it dead at Dongting Lake.
An evil god appeared, awakened the remnants of Jiao Kui buried beneath the lake, and sent it to slaughter living beings, plunging all three realms into chaos.
Yue Ming prepared to sacrifice herself a second time to suppress the evil god in the Sea of Guixu.
Before leaving, she suddenly asked, "Was it you who drank the nuptial wine with me that night?"
He refused to answer for a long time, afraid she would keep thinking of him.
Later, she rushed to the Sea of Guixu.
There, in the Kunlun Divine Realm, she saw Immortal Lord Lu Cang asleep.
"You were born of the Kunlun Divine Realm. I knew long ago that you couldn't escape your trial as an immortal maiden."
"But all I want is for you to live for yourself, just once."
The Kunlun Divine Mirror suppresses evil, foretells the future, and glimpses the past.
Reading Guide:
1. Both leads are each other's first and only. A slow-burn romance with all the melodrama of an old-fashioned tale.
2. Many original settings. Don't overthink them.
