[Straightforward Frost Blossom x Purehearted Stone]
Synopsis
When Sheng Yan's soul flower withered, all living things across the Six Realms rejoiced.
At the time, she was on her way to die saving the world, carved into a bloody mess by the demons' blades and devoured piece by piece by the forces of evil, who picked her divine soul clean.
The husband who had once been inseparable from her stepped over her corpse and ascended to the summit, taking the throne as Heavenly Emperor. He even welcomed into his palace the demon girl who had bullied her in the past, then made a whip out of Sheng Yan's fragments, still warm from her body, and gave it to the girl to trample her with.
From a lone girl of the divine race to a heap of mud, all in the blink of an eye.
Who could have guessed that when she opened her eyes again... she would be back a hundred years earlier, on the day she had to choose a marriage partner!
The moment her former husband humbly offered her his hand, a commotion broke out at the entrance to the hall.
She remembered this scene from her previous life. It seemed a half-blooded half-spirit had been desperately trying to break into Sunken Star Abyss...
to see her.
But this time, Sheng Yan chose to approach him first.
In full view of everyone, the ragged young man held his head high, tears streaming down his face, and poured out his passionate love for her.
After a long pause, she reached out and grasped his chin.
"If you want to share my bed, you must make a pact promising never to deceive me, hide things from me, or kill me, for all eternity. Can you..."
"...do that?"
The moment she finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
The young man fell silent too, a vein suddenly bulging on his forehead, impossible to miss.
Sheng Yan, who had long expected this answer, smiled and drew a shocking streak of blood just beneath the young man's red lips. "Never mind."
"You're so exceptionally handsome... You don't need to make a pact."

Later, the two married, and Duan Shule, having achieved his goal, devoted himself to avenging his people.
But... whenever he was about to draw a sharp weapon and stab Sheng Yan, she would suddenly wrap him in a warm embrace.
She protected him, doted on him, repeatedly took his side, and even gave up all her cultivation for him, leaving herself covered in wounds.
Unfortunately, Duan Shule remained unmoved.
He carefully devised a deadly trap, intending to drag that aloof flower down from her pedestal and destroy everything she had.
The day calamity struck, dark clouds covered the sun and rain poured down.
Holding a newborn in her arms, Sheng Yan smiled calmly as the forces of evil from across the Six Realms surrounded her. Then, without the slightest hesitation, she threw herself at him, letting the cold sword pierce her body.
Her cool, fleeting breath, along with her final whisper, climbed up his neck and entwined itself around Duan Shule's heart, which had only just learned to beat.
"Congratulations. You've had your revenge."
As her fiery blood dyed the sky red, the baby girl, swaddled tightly, fell to the ground.
There was no shrill cry, no twitching limbs.
She was stillborn.
