[The sultry, scheming Jade-Faced King of Hell x the sunny, healing, laid-back Lord God]
#Villain Face-Slapping Diary#
1. Ren Xi thinks her life story deserves a place in the complete collection of the cultivation world's most outrageous tales.
So, "with tears in her eyes," she followed the historians' example and wrote herself an epic summary. The resulting work was a hundred pages thick, but onlookers soon realized that the first ninety-nine pages were all about her wild early life.
Ren Xi declared with conviction, "It's a cautionary tale! This history of suffering, both physical and emotional, must be recorded in detail to warn future generations!"
A bystander timidly raised a hand. "Then... what about the rest of your life?"
She calmly turned to the final page. Across the vast sheet of paper, one enormous character was written in bold, sweeping strokes: "Bliss!"
(She'd also drawn a cocky little smiley face beside it, with a note: The joy of this place is not for outsiders to understand~)
2. Ling Heng had a secret.
To find Ren Xi, he had once used the flames of karma from the Eighteen Levels of Hell to remake his bones and sinews.
When they met again, the once lofty god finally bowed his head. He gripped her wrist tightly, but softened his touch the moment his fingers met her skin. On the cinnabar-red couch, Ling Heng's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse as he pleaded desperately, "Don't go."
Someone once asked him, "Do you know what longing is?"
Now at last he understood: "It isn't the joy of tender, lingering love. It's a punishment that carves out your heart and bones."
[Reading Guide!]
1. A laid-back heroine's descent into darkness, from giving up to turning the tables.
2. The heroine won't put up with a thing. It's a feel-good story, though the face-slapping varies in intensity.
3. A feel-good story about the heroine's growth. She's not overpowered from the start, so avoid it if that's not for you.
4. The leads don't fall in love at first sight. The story is more plot-driven.
5. The hero is fair-skinned but dark-hearted. They save each other!
