The Cold and Aloof Immortal Lord Is Now Chasing His Wife

My other novel of the same type, "After the White Moonlight Stabbed Me," is currently updating. The blurb is at the end. Thanks for adding it to your collection!

Blurb:

[Classic angsty romance + past and present lives + a wife-chasing crematorium]

On the Immortal Execution Platform, Jiang Ran was bound to a pillar as the Nine Heavens' Divine Lightning prepared to strike.

The immortals all pointed fingers at her, demanding that Wen Yun hurry up and execute this mortal woman.

Her friend said, "Don't be afraid. Wen Yun loves you to the depths of his soul. He couldn't bear to let you die."

At first, Jiang Ran had thought so too.

But then she heard his utterly unhesitating voice: "Execute her at once."

As the heavenly lightning struck, Wen Yun still clung to a sliver of hope.

Until Jiang Ran's body and soul were annihilated, and the news of the goddess's return from her mortal trial still did not come.

The aloof, cold, and ethereally beautiful Immortal Lord Wen Yun went completely mad.

His hair turned white overnight. He spent nearly a century wandering the underworld, searching the heavens above and the depths below. All nine of his tails were severed, and he nearly lost himself to demonic possession, all to find a fragment of her departed soul.

"A Ran, I was wrong. Could you let me see you one more time?"

/

A century later, the goddess returned from her trial.

As soon as Qing Ran returned to the Divine Palace, a maid came to report that Immortal Lord Wen Yun had requested an audience.

At this, her eyes remained perfectly calm, without a trace of joy or sorrow.

She simply said, "I will not see him."

Reading Guide

1. The heroine is alive! One-on-one romance, both leads are devoted to each other, happy ending.

2. The hero never intended to kill the heroine. Many factors led to her body and soul being annihilated in the first life.

3. Past and present lives. The heroine has two lives: the first has a tragic ending, the second has a happy ending. Don't be scared off by the first life; there's a little angst (?). The heroine grows over the story: a frail mortal in her first life, a goddess in her second.

4. A classic past-and-present-lives story with a wife-chasing crematorium. The hero is a fluffy nine-tailed fox!

5. No paywall ratio for this novel, so feel free to subscribe as you like. (In the first volume, the leads meet and fall for each other; in the middle volume, the heroine is hurt and dies on the Immortal Execution Platform; in the final volume, the hero chases his wife!)

Coming Soon: "She Regretted Breaking Off the Engagement After Being Reborn"

Li Funian is the legitimate daughter of Prince Anping.

She is the beloved Princess Anyang, showered with affection by everyone.

She has admired Su Jiuzhao, heir to the Marquis of Qingyuan, since childhood.

When she came of age, she asked the emperor for an edict of betrothal and got her wish: she married into the marquis's household.

But married life was not what she had hoped for.

Su Jiuzhao was busy with official duties and often spent the night in his study. It was hard enough to see him, let alone receive his tender concern and care.

Li Funian thought he was simply bad at expressing himself, and that, deep down, he still cared for her.

Then, six months into their marriage, he went south to provide disaster relief and returned with a woman.

Only then did she understand: he was not naturally cold. He simply did not love her.

Later, Su Jiuzhao made that woman his secondary wife.

On the night her red bridal sedan was carried into the marquis's estate, news arrived that Prince Anping had committed treason and rebellion.

The Prince Anping's household was confiscated. Everyone except Li Funian, who had married out, was arrested and imprisoned.

With no one willing to help, Li Funian had no choice but to seek Su Jiuzhao.

In the bitter cold, she knelt all night at the Junlan Pavilion, but the door to the heated chamber never opened for her.

The entire Prince Anping's household was sentenced to death.

On the day of the execution, Li Funian calmly collected and buried her family's bodies.

When she had finished, she took her own life in front of their graves.

That day, snow fell across the land.

The white frost covering the ground was stained red with blood.

Even until Li Funian died, Su Jiuzhao never appeared again.

When Li Funian opened her eyes again, she had been reborn to the year she came of age.

By coincidence, the Marquis of Qingyuan's household had come to present the betrothal gifts.

Looking at the glaring red chests being carried into her room one by one, Li Funian immediately ordered them thrown out of the prince's estate and rejected the match.

*

The moment Su Jiuzhao learned of Li Funian's death, regret tore him apart.

Reborn, he hurried to the Prince Anping's household to present betrothal gifts before the imperial edict could arrive.

Just when he thought he could make amends for his past-life mistakes, he learned that she had changed the person named in the imperial betrothal to the young general Xie Linyuan, a doomed man who had led an army north and died on the battlefield.

Su Jiuzhao thought, then he would wait until Xie Linyuan died in battle.

Then he would ask the emperor for permission to marry Li Funian and bring her home.

But...

In this life, Li Funian avoided him like the plague.

And the news that reached the capital was not of Xie Linyuan's death, but of his great victory and imminent return to court.

*

Later...

The Marquis of Qingyuan was found guilty of treason and sentenced to execution along with his entire clan.

The day before the execution, Li Funian was married.

The jailers said the wedding of Princess Anyang and the great general was a magnificent affair.

The wedding procession stretched from one end of the street to the other, winding through the lanes. Ten miles of red wedding gifts, red silk like fire, and celebration throughout the city.

Su Jiuzhao stood beneath the high window of his prison cell, listening to the joyful music drifting over from afar.

In their past life, she was his wife, but he trampled on her sincere love.

In this life, he repented every day and did everything he could to make amends.

Yet until his head fell, she never once looked back, just as he had not that day.
