The Greatest Widower in All the Realms

The Valkyrie Fu Shan was renowned far and wide, revered throughout the four seas and eight directions. One day, while hunting down Bai Wugou, the Sleepless Marquis of the Demon Realm, she struck too hard and accidentally injured an innocent little demon nearby. The poor thing clutched the hem of her robe and refused to let go. Fu Shan's heart softened, and she brought the little demon back to her sect. The little demon was a fox spirit named Bai Que. Seeing how obedient and gentle he was, and how exceptional his talents were, Fu Shan took him as her disciple. She guided him toward immortality and taught him the principles of the Heavenly Way, proper conduct, and steadfastness in heart and honor. But things eventually took a turn Fu Shan hadn't expected. Bai Que began to seem reluctant to call her "Master," and the way he looked at her was no longer as innocent as before. -- Bai Que's childhood was full of hardship, and he began wandering from place to place at an early age. He drifted without purpose, lost and confused. Lost and confused, he left Qingqiu. Lost and confused, he became Bai Wugou, the Sleepless Marquis of the Demon Realm. Until he met Fu Shan. The Valkyrie's divine radiance was so dazzling he could barely keep his eyes open. He was instantly captivated and decided to leave the darkness behind and follow her. He would gladly be her demon slave or her disciple. Later, he grew bolder still and began plotting to become her man. Fu Shan had a soft heart, so he pretended to be frail and played the sympathy card to make her worry over him. Fu Shan liked elegant, refined men, so he worked on his bearing and demeanor, resolved to become a dashing, handsome immortal. Fu Shan said she admired the strong, so he trained relentlessly until he was strong enough to stand at her side. At last, he heard Fu Shan lean against his shoulder and whisper, "Bai Que, let's get married." In that moment, he trembled with excitement. But life rarely goes as one wishes. Fu Shan perished in the war between gods and demons. Despairing, he immediately decided to die with her, but just before he left this world, he heard a baby crying. That child was the only bloodline he and Fu Shan shared. The soft, fair little baby looked just like Fu Shan and could already call him "Daddy" in a tiny, sweet voice. Then he would wait a little longer. He could leave after the child had grown up. From then on, he was tossed between longing and despair, enduring the years like a walking corpse. Sometimes, when he could bear it no longer, he would breathe in the scent of Fu Shan's clothes to comfort himself. Seven thousand years later. The good news: Fu Shan had returned. The bad news: Fu Shan had forgotten him, and even berated him as a treacherous disciple and a liar, insisting on divorcing him. 1. The powerful Valkyrie Fu Shan, whose heart is bursting with girlish dreams, x Bai Que, a scheming, sweet-talking, black-hearted man who is a sorrowful old dad at heart 2.
