I Became My Nemesis's White Moonlight, His Deceased Wife, During His Tribulation

Ling Yihe is the beloved little princess of the Liguang Clan, born into privilege and blessed with a smooth path to immortality.

Immortal pills and spirit artifacts: at the princess's word, someone will bring them to her. There are even people willing to take the lightning tribulation in her place.

In over two hundred years as an immortal, her greatest setback has been repeatedly losing to the Immortal Court's undefeated God of War, Po Chao. Since then, they have been at odds, utterly incompatible.

Po Chao God of War Qi Yingqi is a loner, cold and unfeeling, and in charge of punishments. His callousness is famous throughout heaven and earth.

Rumor has it that he comes from a tragic family and is all alone, having overcome tribulations and ascended through his own efforts. The other immortals suspect he simply cannot stand the rotten behavior of privileged connections like Ling Yihe.

They have been at each other's throats for over two hundred years, much to the other immortals' distress. So, while Qi Yingqi was undergoing his tribulation, they decided to trick Ling Yihe into descending to the mortal realm as well, then bind the two together with an unbreakable bond so they could turn their hostility into friendship.

In the mortal realm, Ling Yihe has lost all her memories and is harmed by villains. With no other choice, she marries a young man she has never met.

Fortunately, the young man is devastatingly handsome and treats her well, so she half-heartedly goes along with it and enjoys quite a few happy, loving years.

Then one day, she suddenly remembers that she is an immortal from the Immortal Court, and her husband is the sworn enemy she has not spoken to in ages.

Furious and frantic, Ling Yihe immediately wants to die so she can return to the Immortal Court, and also give Qi Yingqi a good disgust. After much thought, she comes up with a brilliant plan.

With rebel forces at the city gates, she first makes a heartfelt confession of love to Qi Yingqi, then jumps off the city wall right in front of him. Even as she faces death, she makes a show of claiming it's all because she loves him.

At last, her immortal soul leaves her body. Seeing the corners of Qi Yingqi's eyes turn red, she feels she has won back some ground, and is finally a little satisfied.

But before she can enjoy more than a few happy days, Qi Yingqi somehow returns early from his tribulation too.

Immortals are supposed to forget everything that happened during their tribulations, but Ling Yihe still feels terribly guilty. For several days in a row, she avoids Qi Yingqi like the plague, refusing to be anywhere near him.

The other immortals are shocked. Didn't you arrange for them to become comrades who would risk their lives for each other? Why are they still acting like mortal enemies?

Ling Yihe is just as shocked. Wait, you people arranged for me to descend to the mortal realm? No, comrades? We got married down there!

Qi Yingqi once had an unforgettable moon in his heart, but in the end, the moon shattered and he awoke from his dream.

Fortunately, he later discovers that Ling Yihe is alive and well. But as relief washes over him, he also learns that she went to the mortal realm, found someone she loved, spent many years as his devoted wife, and eventually even died for him.

Qi Yingqi's expression darkens. He orders his divine attendants to find that man and kill him immediately, no matter what. At the same time, he takes Ling Yihe back to his residence and builds the little princess a lavish, glittering, expensive golden cage, designed exactly to her taste, where she will not be allowed to leave.

For the past three hundred years, Qi Yingqi has wanted to do this countless times. But the Immortal Matchmaker said matters of the heart cannot be forced, or they will only breed resentment. So Qi Yingqi carefully guarded his moon.

Only to learn that the moon in his heart had fallen for someone else.

Qi Yingqi thinks, to hell with not forcing love. He wants Ling Yihe to love him, by any means necessary.

1. The male lead has had a huge, huge, huge crush on her for ages. At first, he can't remember what happened during his tribulation, so he thinks the female lead loves someone else!

2. Contains a bit of that sort of thing (can't say more, but you can tell from the blurb).

3. The female lead is emotionally dense, but she probably liked the male lead from the start too, without realizing she was in love.

Theme: Don't hurt others a thousand times only to hurt yourself eight hundred times.
