My Beloved Is Dead, So I Took His White Moonlight and Went on a Rampage

[Blurb One]

I love my husband very much.

According to him, the entire Xiao household was slaughtered by our enemies, and only the two of us, husband and wife, escaped by sheer luck.

I fell gravely ill and lost my memory while we were fleeing. He never abandoned me, and that's what gave me a chance to live.

I thought that even if a century-old family legacy had gone up in flames, as long as we kept our names hidden, a simple life of plain food and plain clothes, quiet as still water, would be better than living in constant fear and never knowing a moment's peace.

But my husband didn't seem to agree. He often scolded me for being ignorant and lacking ambition.

My husband's ambitions were lofty: to seek immortality, avenge his family, ascend to become an immortal, and never again have anything to do with this filthy world.

Of course, I supported him with all my heart. After all, he said that an ordinary woman like me, beautiful but otherwise unremarkable, had no hope of pursuing the immortal path. Out of consideration for our marriage, he would make me his immortal concubine after he ascended, so we could continue our relationship in another life.

But by sheer accident, I joined an immortal sect ahead of him and even got into Chonghua Academy, where the imperial court and the sects worked together to cultivate well-rounded talents.

My husband was still just an outer disciple doing chores, and he was furious about it, often complaining that his luck was terrible.

Unfortunately, before he could formally join the sect, my husband passed away.

He had one last request for me before he breathed his last.

It turned out he had another beloved, a confidante far away in the Southern Wastelands, whom he couldn't let go of even on his deathbed.

I took up my sword and went to the Southern Wastelands, where I rescued Mo Jingchun, the unattainable love my husband had kept hidden in his heart.

Perhaps she knew that my husband and I had been a devoted couple, and she resented me. She was always finding fault with me.

My fellow students at the academy all mistakenly thought I had a clingy mistress.

At last, tired of dealing with her, I decided to send Mo Jingchun away and live out the rest of my life in peace.

I made up an excuse to dismiss her. “I'm going to become cultivation partners with someone else.”

But Mo Jingchun stared right at me, eyes full of tears and hatred. “You betrayed Xiao Ciqiu, and now you want to abandon me?”

Xiao Ciqiu was my late husband.

There are so many men in the world. The teachers at the academy are kind, my fellow students are lovely, and even the royal family fools who occasionally throw their weight around are more interesting than Xiao Ciqiu.

But everyone has their own path. I sighed and gently indulged her infatuation. “If you miss him, I can send you to join him.”

That night, Mo Jingchun climbed into my bed.

Husband, did you know your unattainable love was actually a man?

[Blurb Two]

Everyone who has met Yu Ningzhi thinks she's a hopeless romantic.

She took up her sword for love and, for the sake of her cold-hearted husband's impossible ambitions, rose from an ordinary mortal to the heights of the Dao.

She wielded her sword for love, traveling a thousand miles at the words of her dying fiance to save the beloved he had kept hidden in his heart.

Everyone despises her, mocks her, and looks down on her. She's too deeply attached and loves too intensely, both major taboos in cultivation.

But those refined young lords who can't stand her yet can't beat her privately curse her late husband for leaving such a deep mark on her heart. No matter what schemes they try, they can barely get her to remember their names.

Whenever they bring up making their relationship official, Yu Ningzhi can't hide her sorrow. “We were husband and wife, after all. I still can't forget him.”

To save his own life, Xiao Ciqiu faked his death and escaped his pursuers. Once he was finally out of danger, the first thing he did was find his younger twin brother, Mo Jingchun, who had been living under an assumed name and disguised as a woman.

Mo Jingchun was Xiao Ciqiu's last living blood relative. Before faking his death, he had asked his wife to protect him. Now that things had calmed down, he could return to a normal life.

Who could have guessed that Mo Jingchun had now gone back to dressing as a man and moved into the courtyard Xiao Ciqiu had prepared before faking his death? He was acting like the owner of the place, and even lying on the bed that had once been Xiao Ciqiu's, dressed in light clothes, his eyes sleepy, as if waiting for someone to come home.

It was obvious who he was waiting for.

Xiao Ciqiu's face darkened. He concluded that Yu Ningzhi had seduced the naive Mo Jingchun, and decided he needed to put his wife back in her place.

But when he finally found his wife, Yu Ningzhi, he discovered that she'd already quelled demonic threats and exterminated evil spirits. She was a renowned sword cultivator and a prodigy known throughout the land, with a crowd of scheming admirers hovering around her.

They seemed friendly enough, but were each secretly competing with one another. They were willing to tear off their masks and even fight just to get a little of her attention.

But when Xiao Ciqiu appeared, they all stopped fighting and tacitly united against him.

Xiao Ciqiu: What the hell? How come even widows have so many people after them in this world?
