The Immortal Lord's Second Marriage

In her previous life, when Ning Ruoruo was rescued from the demon realm by her War God father, the demonic nature that made her ruthless and fickle could no longer be purged.

Her father still had no time to look after her, so he married her off to the East Manor Immortal Lord, the most self-disciplined, proper, aloof, and restrained immortal in the celestial realm.

This Immortal Lord had a face of peerless beauty, but his mind was as dull as an ancient well. He was rigid and pedantic, unable to tolerate even the slightest trace of demonic taint.

On the first day of their marriage, she ate a demon spirit raw, so her husband locked her in a dark room. The next day, she joked around with a cute young disciple of his, and he forced her into a freezing pool to cultivate self-discipline. On the third day, she killed a disciple who had been making snide remarks, and was sentenced to three hundred strokes of the rod. He administered the punishment himself, and she was sure he hadn't gone easy on her at all.

Every day, he forced Ning Ruoruo to practice immortal swordsmanship for three hours, then sent her to the Thunder Pool to endure a pain worse than death and purge her demonic nature.

This life nearly drove Ning Ruoruo mad. She burned his clothes, knocked over his book collection, smashed his treasured belongings, and never let him eat or sleep in peace. She would interrupt his cultivation, ambush him while he practiced swordsmanship, and finally seize a chance to escape East Manor.

Later, she died, and the Demon Venerable emerged. Her father, the War God, had to offer his blood to the Demon-Slaying Sword and perish together with the Demon Venerable. She secretly stole the divine Demon-Slaying Sword and took her father's place, perishing with the Demon Venerable.

She knew, in fact, that her father had married her to Luo Qingchen to protect her, and that Luo Qingchen had been strict with her because her father had asked him to teach her well. She also knew that on the Three-Lives Stone, Luo Qingchen's wife was not her.

At the moment of the blood sacrifice, she was still thinking that at last her father wouldn't have to bear a bad name because of her. As for Luo Qingchen, he would probably feel relieved too. He would find the wife written on his Three-Lives Stone, Qiao Wu, and live as long as the heavens.

When she woke again, she discovered that she had become Qiao Wu.

An orphan from a minor immortal clan whose parents had died long ago, the original owner of this body had been sent off for a ghost marriage overnight by her clansmen, who wanted to curry favor with an Immortal Venerable.

In the bridal chamber, after regaining her freedom, she discovered Luo Qingchen beside her, his six souls scattered, like a puppet. The disciples looked at her with reverence and pity.

Only then did she learn that Luo Qingchen had died twenty years ago, on the same day she had died in her previous life.

She had thought Luo Qingchen felt no love for her, only a sense of duty.

She never expected that on the day she died in her previous life, Luo Qingchen would turn white-haired overnight. Later, he charged into the demon realm and died in battle where she had made her blood sacrifice.

P.S. The story starts with her being reborn. The Immortal Lord will be resurrected, so I suppose this counts as a rekindled romance.
