Summoning the Gods

(Main story complete) [Blurb 1] Yan Linlang was once the young mistress of the Immortal Capital, adored by all. Unfortunately, she was born under the "Love Blossom Curse," which left her overflowing with passion and destined to become an outrageously lovestruck fool in the Carefree Realm. The curse was not particularly dangerous in itself. It merely made her a little more fickle and easily swayed by good looks. After taking in a pretty, pitiful boy as her childhood sweetheart, she abandoned him and turned her affections to the Immortal Sects' foremost Sword Lord, a man of exceptional talent. But her heartbroken childhood sweetheart severed his ties to love with a single stroke of his sword, and immediately attained enlightenment and ascended. Meanwhile, her radiant, moon-bright fiancé stood with a sword in hand, watching helplessly as she died in a killing formation, pierced through the heart by ten thousand swords. At the critical moment, Yan Linlang had no choice but to offer her blood as a sacrifice and burn her soul, successfully opening the legendary Heaven-Piercing Mystic Formation and summoning a god into the mortal world. In an instant, golden light blazed. A familiar yet unfamiliar white figure came gliding through the flying snow, appearing within the formation. A young god, a red mark between his brows, floated in midair. His beautiful lashes slowly opened, and his eyes met Yan Linlang's... "?" What do I do? I summoned the childhood sweetheart I once led on and abandoned right before I died, and now he's gone dark??? [Blurb 2] When she woke up again, Yan Linlang looked at her ungrateful male disciple and her remorseful former fiancé. For the first time in her life, she went against the instincts of the Love Blossom Curse... "With a three-foot sword, I shall prove the Great Way in my heart!" To hell with being lovestruck. This time, she would choose her own path! A story about a "passively lovestruck fool" defying fate, and a childhood sweetheart outshining a newcomer who arrives from nowhere. Reader's guide: 1. Happy ending, with some original worldbuilding. A sweet romance. 2. The plot and romance are split roughly forty-sixty. The heroine's personal growth is a major focus, and this is not a wish-fulfillment power fantasy. 3. The Sword Lord is the second male lead. The male lead is the scheming, black-hearted childhood sweetheart, Lord Xuanming (important). (Blurb written on August 23, 2023, and a screenshot has been saved.)
