A tsundere, straight-laced God of War × a greedy, food-loving, lie-flat lucky koi
A little koi trains her arrogant, overachieving husband
*
Shui Ling only ever wanted to be a carefree little immortal: to have a few good friends, eat her way across the four seas, and travel over mountains and rivers.
She was only a little koi when she was accidentally knocked unconscious by the God of War, who was undergoing a tribulation. When she woke up transformed into human form, she was inexplicably taken back to the Ninth Heaven.
As a low-ranking immortal, she spent her days helping the Matchmaker tie red threads and idling away her time.
Good things are fragile. Then everything changed, and the God of War demoted her to a jinx...
How could a lucky koi like her do work so beneath her station?
But no one would clear her name, so she had no choice but to travel the mortal realm alone for a hundred years.
She heard that not long ago, the God of War had been demoted to become a river god. She laughed so hard she nearly fell over. What goes around comes around!
Then she heard the river god was getting married!
Which unlucky fool was going to marry a river god?
Oh, it turned out to be her...
And then, by accident, she took the God of War's innocence...
After spending more time together, why did this annoying god seem so much like her long-lost former lover?
Well, would you look at that, it really was him! Time to run!
Help, how did he catch me?
Chang Hao, the God of War, stood at the very top of the divine ranks and was born into the most noble family in the Ninth Heaven. Naturally, she was not worthy of him.
He said so too. How could a little koi like her, who never strived for anything and only wanted to enjoy herself, ever be worthy of him?
Shui Ling was relieved. If that was what he thought, then all the better. After all, she only liked eating her fill and waiting for death.
But why did this God of War act so differently from what he said?
It seemed like he was always waiting for her to take the initiative and kiss him, hug him, and lift him up!
He said, "It's fine. If you work harder, you'll be worthy of me!"
Shui Ling looked utterly miserable. She only wanted to be a salted fish.
You know what a salted fish is? The kind that's too lazy to even turn over!
It suddenly dawned on her that she was actually a pretty diligent salted fish, considering she'd been carrying the blame for nearly a hundred years.
And the one who made her take the blame was, of course, her dear husband!
*
As a salted fish, she never imagined she would bear the responsibility of saving the world.
Her husband, the God of War revered throughout the Six Realms, was gradually falling into demonic corruption...
And she...
became the chain that held him back...

An INTJ overachieving male lead × an ENFP lie-flat female lead
A groveling pursuit after the breakup / marriage first, love later
The female lead loves food, lies flat, and values freedom. She's a bit of a heartthrob. The male lead is an overachieving, conflicted mess who just wants his wife to cling to him first.
Both leads are virgins.
Conventional success isn't right for everyone.
All she wants is something different from everyone else.
Theme: After long years of navigating the world, I would rather be myself.
