Becoming a god is Yiqing's obsession. On that day, she and her master, Master Long Jue, fell into the mortal world after undergoing the divine thunder tribulation. Little did they know that this would be a love catastrophe that would make the gods and immortals lose their courage.
As the eldest princess of the Northern Kingdom, Li Yiqing and Jin Yunxi, the concubine of General Jinyun's mansion, were childhood sweethearts. The young man stood under the palace wall with a gun in his hand, and there were stars in his eyes: "I will come and marry you when I have accomplished my military exploits!" Unexpectedly, when he returned wearing his armor, the red silk had already climbed up the lintel of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the princess he longed for turned out to be Shen Jue's wife.
Her brother Li Wu died suddenly, and the princess who was supposed to enjoy dignity was forced to listen to politics behind the curtain. When Jin Yunxi returned with an army of 100,000 men, the whole court was in an uproar. Shen Jue resolved the crisis like a crane gliding over water. However, after going down to court, he trapped her in the Nuan Pavilion, hugged her from behind, and his warm breath swept past his ears: "If the princess doesn't marry me... The little general's return journey will be paved with thorns."
"When did you have such thoughts?" Li Yiqing froze in his arms. Shen Jue said: "That year at the Qionglin Banquet, the princess rescued me from the siege and taught Sanlang of the Chu family a lesson, and I began to have delusions." A chill crawled up her spine and onto the top of her head, and she could see clearly that the young prime minister who was as gentle as jade in the eyes of the world actually had a paranoid madness hidden in his bones.
On the day of the wedding, there was the sound of horse hooves outside the city gate. Under the red hijab, Li Yiqing heard Jin Yunxi's heartbreaking screams, but could only let Shen Jue carry her into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Years after that, she treated her coldly, but Shen Jue was happy to do so and indulged her willfulness.
When the war resumed, the Manchu cavalry broke through the border. Jin Yunxi was seriously injured and dying, and Duan Wang Li Jin colluded with foreign enemies to attack the city. In order to protect her, Shen Jue's chest was pierced by a spear, and warm blood spattered on her pale cheek. Li Jin forced her to the tower, smiled sinisterly like a poisonous snake and spat out a message: "The eldest princess should know how to get peace in the city."
Li Yiqing looked at the people in the city, the white-haired old woman leaning on a cane, the crying baby in the woman's arms, the young man clutching the hoe... She decisively drew out her sword. It was time to end it all. The moment the sword blade cut her throat, she seemed to hear Shen Jue's call.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to heaven and became a god. It's just that the way Master Long Jue looked at her was indescribably complicated; even the Demon Lord Feng Yunxi, who came to the God Realm to get the Phoenix Bow, looked at her in an indescribably weird way.
