The Live-in Husband, an Immortal Lotus Root, Is Actually the God of Slaughter Nezha?!

You Su Qianqian is the only daughter of the Fox King of Ten Thousand Years. She commands a fortune of millions and tens of thousands of demon soldiers, and her only daily concern is which hairpin and jewelry go with her skirt. But then she had a dream. In the dream, her father died suddenly. Unable to reclaim her family’s wealth, she could only take the hideously ugly Bull Demon King as her husband in hopes of protection. But she ended up in the hands of the monk Tang on his pilgrimage, and met a sudden, brutal end when Zhu Bajie beat her to death. “It hurts. It hurts so much.” The delicate little princess, tears in her eyes, wanted only for her father to take good care of his health and keep teaching her for a thousand, ten thousand years. Who could have guessed that her useless-dumpling reputation was so firmly established that even her own father didn’t trust her, and started personally picking out a dependable son-in-law. “Father, the Lotus Root Spirit has great potential too! Once he’s cultivated enough, he can help me manage the family business~” In truth, You Su Qianqian was being threatened by the domineering Lotus Root Spirit, so she could only add a scandalous new chapter to her history: being blinded by a man’s looks. - The Lotus Root Spirit had no memories when the You Su Fox Clan of Jilei Mountain rescued him, and he even became the Jade-Faced Princess’s live-in son-in-law. A son-in-law living with his wife’s family was supposed to watch his step and accept a lower status. No matter. He had strength and plenty of tricks up his sleeve. As for You Su Qianqian’s spoiled temper? He loved scaring the princess, then licking the tears off her face. When she got angry, even the slap she gave him came after a fragrant breeze. Then one day, his memories returned, and he discovered he was Nezha, the murderous god of the heavens. And the delicate Jade-Faced Princess had a hidden identity, one that made her an enemy of him, the Vanguard of Xiqi during the Investiture of the Gods. Murderous God / Marshal of the Central Altar / Great General Who Subdues Demons / Great Deity of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly: “Princess, the jewelry you’re wearing is my Universe Ring, Red Armillary Sash, Fire-Tipped Spear, and Nine-Dragon Fire Shield. You’re not getting away.” - When the demon kings heard that the Fox King of Ten Thousand Years had given in to his daughter’s pleas and chosen a Lotus Root Spirit, they all sneered that Jilei Mountain was finished. Later, they discovered that the Lotus Root Spirit was incredibly powerful and ruthless. For a while, they all said he’d take over the family fortune and make his poor wife suffer a horrible death. Then they learned the Lotus Root Spirit was actually Nezha, the murderous god from the heavens, descended to the mortal world. The demon kings felt a chill, convinced Jilei Mountain had been targeted. Who could have guessed that the murderous god would fall in love and willingly become a live-in son-in-law? And the famously useless little dumpling, the Jade-Faced Princess, turned out to be remarkably capable. She alone founded a nation and declared herself emperor, was granted the title of Southern King by the Heavenly Court, and received a steady stream of worship. “So you two don’t sleep at night, you just plan how to make everyone eat their words in the most satisfying way possible, huh?” Sun Wukong was escorting Tang Sanzang on his pilgrimage to the West when they encountered a trial. Seeing the loving demon couple, he couldn’t believe his eyes. “Brother, weren’t you supposed to be a god who only kills, never saves?” “You’ve turned into a tender lover.” Reading Notes: 1. A feel-good, universally adored heroine story centered on the female lead, with male competition and a love-rival showdown. The heroine can’t cultivate magic for the first ten chapters due to the setting, but becomes stronger later and pursues her own career. The male lead has amnesia and is a live-in son-in-law. 2. My take on Nezha: burdened by a killing tribulation, no Primordial Chaos setting, set after the Investiture of the Gods and during the Journey to the West. 3. A mountain of personal worldbuilding. Theme: Those who give birth but do not raise a child can repay that debt by severing a finger; those who raise a child they did not give birth to can never repay it, even over a hundred lifetimes.
