A cold, sharp-tongued, scheming, unhinged green-tea Sect Master gong x a proud, easily riled, petty, stunning beauty shou
Synopsis
Everyone knows that when immortals undergo tribulations, they usually get put through whatever misery the heavens can devise.
Wei Zhuo, Lord of Fengdu, was born an immortal. However, he still had one tribulation to endure. After hearing far too many stories of how unlucky his predecessors had been during theirs, he wanted no part of it. But the Heavenly Dao wasn't about to indulge him. It swiftly sealed his cultivation and memories, then bundled him off to the mortal world.
At first, everything went smoothly. Then an unexpected mishap struck, and halfway through the tribulation, Wei Zhuo died.
Ah... What... did that mean? Had someone really killed him just like that? Was this really the tribulation he was destined to undergo?
After regaining his memories and cultivation, Wei Zhuo couldn't make heads or tails of it. Then he got angry. “...Wasn't this supposed to be a romantic tribulation? What kind of game are you playing? If you hadn't said it was a romantic tribulation, I would've thought I was going through a life-and-death tribulation!”
He'd thought the whole thing was just an accident. But after his tribulation, the number of immortal-sect disciples who died mysteriously surged, and their souls never entered Fengdu after death. Wei Zhuo had no choice but to take the matter seriously. He never expected that his investigation would bring him face-to-face with an old flame, or that it would uncover the love affair he'd had while undergoing his tribulation...
That's right, Wei Zhuo remembered that he really did owe someone a debt of love.
Tsk. This is bad. What do I do now that my creditor has come knocking?
[Attack's perspective]
Rong Ji was a Sect Master of exceptional talent and formidable cultivation, the person in the cultivation world with the brightest prospects of becoming the first to ascend. Everything in his life was developing in the best possible direction. Then, in the end, this aloof beauty came down from his pedestal for someone.
A young boy suddenly appeared at Rong Ji's side, looking after him with tender care every day. Just as Rong Ji decided to open his heart and become Dao companions with him, the boy vanished from his life without a trace. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find him. It was as if the boy had never existed.
Rong Ji's heart had only just begun to stir, and then this happened. He was so furious he nearly swore off love forever. Then one day, while investigating the unexplained deaths of his sect's disciples, he met someone, and his long-dead heart finally began to beat again.
Rong Ji: The hardest thing I've ever been through was meeting a romance scammer. They stole my body and my heart, then disappeared, leaving me to search for them for years.
Wei, the romance scammer, Zhuo: ...Let me explain.
The moment we met again, my heart recognized you before I did.
