Beg Me to Become an Immortal

The day my ex-husband ascended to immortality, he lost his memories and became the Immortal Lord Zixiao of the Heavenly Palace once more, returning to his position after his mortal trial.

He forgot everything about me. He forgot how we'd grown up together, married young, and fought side by side through countless battles.

He forgot the promise he'd made before ascending: that he'd wait for me in the immortal realm and love me forever. He turned around and became a cold, heartless immortal high above the clouds.

I heard he cultivated the Path of Heartlessness.

Overnight, I became the pitiful abandoned wife in everyone's eyes.

In truth, I'd known this day would come.

I was the love trial destined for him. If he passed it, he would live; if he failed, a great calamity would befall the world.

The Immortal Lord Zixiao was said to be the savior who could protect the world and see it through this calamity.

More than ten years ago, immortals from the Heavenly Palace found me and asked me to help the Immortal Lord Zixiao pass his love trial. In return, they would cure the bloodline backlash that tormented me every day.

That's right, I'm half-demon.

I happily agreed. Zixiao and I grew up together, married as teenagers, and spent more than ten years in a loving marriage. I did everything I could to help him sever his romantic ties, pass his love trial, and return to his immortal position.

After playing my role for more than ten years, I could finally retire and freely travel the mortal world in a healthy body.

There was only one problem with this happy life: my friends all thought I was heartbroken over Zixiao.

Even the immortals often warned me not to make the Immortal Lord Zixiao fall for a mortal, lest the world be plunged into calamity.

I sighed. He's just my ex-husband. What is there to be sad about?

Later, somehow, the great calamity arrived anyway.

A group of immortals found me and said, "We've made a mistake. You're the one destined to face the calamity and save the world."

The immortals looked awkward. Stammering, they said, "We've come specially to invite you to become an immortal."

I looked slowly at him, confusion on my face.

Did the immortal realm get something wrong?

I was furious.

I'd only been enjoying the mortal world for a few years. I wasn't becoming an immortal!

Don't even invite me. Begging won't work either!

Zixiao knew that he had lost some of his memories.

People told him that he had a wife in the mortal world, and that they had been deeply devoted to one another, sharing life and death. He had once promised her that he would never let her down.

Zixiao hated breaking promises more than anything.

Later, he finally had the chance to go to the mortal world and fulfill his promise never to let his wife down.

Who would have thought that the first thing he saw was his wife surrounded by the leader of the righteous sects, the overlord of the demon realm, young members of the demon clan, and a sword spirit who looked exactly like him?

Zixiao trembled slightly.

He'd heard that during their years apart, her admirers had lined up all the way from the mortal world to the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Zixiao's trembling hand moved to the hilt of his sword.

He heard the demon youth ask her discontentedly, "Who's that human looking so lost? He looks pathetic."

His wife glanced at him, her gaze distant and cool, as if he were a stranger.

She said lightly, "My amnesiac ex-husband."
