The thing Zhang Yao regretted most in her life was getting involved with someone she shouldn't have. He looked pure and beautiful as snow, like a deity, but in reality, he was a lunatic.
At times like this, even a self-proclaimed strong woman who was tough in both body and mind could only turn into a helpless little cat, hiding wherever she could.
And yet he would still pin her beneath an immortal tree and kiss her, his eyes red.
His low, wicked question sounded seductively in her ear.
"Yao'er, why did you leave me?"
He kissed her until her hands and legs went limp. She couldn't help grumbling to herself: If I'd known you were this crazy, I never would have gotten involved with you.
It was all because of that secret realm.
She had been reborn and was lucky enough to win the lottery, then reincarnated as a noble young lady of a cultivation clan. The cultivation world was also in an era of flourishing spiritual energy, and peace reigned throughout the mortal realm.
Born a noblewoman, she never had to worry about food or clothing. She could easily have lived a carefree life as a useless rich kid.
There was just one unfortunate thing. Driven by curiosity, she entered a secret realm, where she accidentally contracted a strange poison and nearly died. A romance System bound itself to her and saved her life.
She had two targets to win over. One was a revered Divine Lord known as the untouchable flower of the cultivation world, an immortal as cold and beautiful as snow. Every fold of his clothes was so beautiful it could break a person's heart.
Zhang Yao had seen him only once, at the Heavenly Prayer Ceremony. She had caught only his profile and the black cloak embroidered with golden patterns that fluttered in the wind. His beauty had made her heart ache.
The other target was a gentle and handsome Divine Lord, but she knew him too well. He was an old friend of her third uncle, and she often tagged along with her uncle to mooch meals from him. He was practically an elder! How could she possibly make a move on an elder?
So Zhang Yao boldly chose to pursue the aloof Divine Lord.
The process went surprisingly smoothly. After her third uncle, a real social butterfly, visited the Divine Lord a few times,
her cousin's wedding day arrived, and the Divine Lord came to visit their estate.
Following a System quest, she carefully set up a spell formation and planted love flowers. Then... in the bath, she kissed the Divine Lord.
The man who was supposedly unconscious suddenly opened his dazzling eyes. The colors shifting beneath his long lashes were so beautiful they left her swooning, but also so frightened that her hands and legs went weak.
She had insulted a Divine Lord with overwhelming magical power and been caught in the act. She thought she was about to lose her life.
While her heart trembled in fear, she... was pinned against the side of the pool and kissed until she nearly lost her wits by the Divine Lord, who was said to be cold and self-restrained, and never to go near women.
As she scrambled out of the pool and fled in a panic,
she heard his low, seductive voice behind her. "I'm returning to my estate tomorrow. Come with me!"
Go back to his estate with him? What for?!
Zhang Yao ran off at top speed. She admitted it: she was scared.
The next day, she hid away like a turtle. The Divine Lord didn't come after her and left without a fuss.
Three months passed peacefully. To save her life, she swallowed her pride and tried to win over the gentle, handsome Divine Lord who was an elder.
