Everyone in the Six Realms knew that ten thousand years ago, Tan Yuan, the foremost Divine Lord of the Immortal Realm, descended to the mortal world to undergo a trial. When he returned, he brought with him a mortal woman with whom he'd shared a passionate affair in a former life.
Ignoring Divine Lord Fu Qinghe, with whom he was already bound as an immortal couple, Tan Yuan welcomed the woman into his Qinghan Palace. They were inseparable, and later, for the sake of that woman, he personally cast his immortal consort Qinghe from the Executioner's Platform, causing her soul to perish.
Who could have imagined that ten thousand years later, the amnesiac Divine Lord Qinghe would return from her trial and come back to the Immortal Realm?
At the Investiture Ceremony, Tan Yuan and Fu Qinghe stood at opposite ends of the great hall. His eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was wild with fury. He crushed the dragon-patterned jade cup in his hand.
"Fu Qinghe, you dare come back."
-
Fu Qinghe never expected that she was an immortal.
Even more surprising, after losing her memories and undergoing a trial, she returned to the Immortal Realm only to find herself with a husband... no, an ex-husband.
She knew the usual mortal-world story: the scumbag ex-husband had done unforgivable things and was now consumed with regret. It was time for him to chase her through hell and back, while she eventually softened and reluctantly kept him by her side.
Fu Qinghe didn't mind. She had lost her memories, after all, and Tan Yuan was now the one-of-a-kind big shot of the Six Realms. As long as he could let her cling to his coattails and live off him, she didn't care if he had three wives and four concubines. She didn't love the scumbag anyway.
But they still had to follow the script.
So when Tan Yuan pinned her to the bed in Qinghan Palace, she arranged her expression and turned a cold profile toward him, as if her heart had been utterly broken.
"I don't love you anymore. Even if you died in front of me now, I wouldn't so much as look at you."
But she hadn't expected this.
Tan Yuan grasped her chin and gave her an indifferent, bitter smile, even more heartbroken than her own.
"When did you ever love me?"
He pulled open the collar of his gold-threaded jade-belt robe, revealing the hideous wound over his heart, still unhealed after ten thousand years.
"Oh, ten thousand years ago, when you tricked me into coming closer on the Executioner's Platform, then ran me through the heart with your sword?"
Qinghe: ...
Qinghe: ???
#Oh no, his tragic love act is better than mine
#Wait, who changed the script behind my back?
#A tragic story where all the Six Realms thought he was the one who wronged me, only for me to ascend and discover that I was the one who wronged him (?)
