After Surviving the Tribulation, Ginger Won the Divine Lord's Heart

[Complete]

The next novel, The Furnace Cauldron Fled to Die While Pregnant, and the Dragon-Proud Protagonist Regretted It Too Late, is now underway. Please add it to your reading list!

Jiang Luoyu transmigrated into the Immortal Realm as a ginger plant. After taking human form, he was brought home and carefully taught by a silver-haired, green-eyed Divine Lord.

The Divine Lord, Cong Mingxue, was honored as Yaoxin. Cool and aloof as the snows of the Heavenly Mountains, he was an eccentric who became a god as a wild scallion, the first in all six realms to do so.

After five hundred years together, day and night, Jiang Luoyu developed feelings for him that he could not speak aloud.

Alas, the ginger had fallen in love, but the wild scallion felt nothing.

As an outstanding graduate of the Heavenly Dao, Cong Mingxue had emptied his mind of all worldly concerns and cut off all earthly attachments.

.

Then, after reaching a cultivation bottleneck, Jiang Luoyu learned that he would have to reincarnate three times and overcome tribulations before he could advance.

With no choice, he bid farewell to his own poker-faced Divine Lord, closed his eyes, and jumped into the Reincarnation Pool.

When he regained consciousness, he was in the sect's main hall, facing a tribunal of three. His tribulations were not yet over.

Memories of his three lives came crashing into his mind as if they cost nothing: from plants and beasts in his first life, to an ordinary mortal emperor in his second, to a cultivator of a great sect in this life...

In every life, there was one familiar figure.

The Enforcement Elder said, "You are incorrigible, show no respect for your elders, and seek to undermine Immortal Venerable Yaoxin's path of heartlessness. Do you know your crime?"

Jiang Luoyu looked up in surprise, gazed past the Enforcement Elder, and met the cool, verdant eyes of the white-robed Immortal Venerable. He nearly burst out laughing.

Do they assign partners for tribulations in the lower realm now?

Cong Mingxue saved a ginger plant from another world.

Later, the ginger took human form and became an immortal. Worried someone might capture him, Cong Mingxue softened and brought him back to Yaoxin Hall.

Unlike the other little immortals in the hall, Jiang Luoyu was never afraid of him. He was always asking questions no ordinary person would think of, and his eyes brimmed with vibrant life.

One year, two years... until the five hundredth year, when Jiang Luoyu said he was going to face a tribulation.

Cong Mingxue had never faced a tribulation himself, but he had seen other immortals and gods do so. Usually, one person went down, and a whole family came back up.

An indescribable feeling welled up inside him. Only then did he belatedly realize that the other had long since become the only ripple in his stagnant life.

So, without changing his expression, he pulled some strings and planned to go to the lower realm to help Jiang Luoyu through his tribulation, while also eliminating any potential rivals.

But the world is unpredictable. He... accidentally lost his memory.

Preview of the next novel:

Qiao Yanshuang was a seven-day drunk hibiscus, and a natural furnace cauldron.

Because of his unusual constitution, the Chen family bought him to treat their prodigy.

Chen Zhutian was a peerless genius, the likes of whom the Chen family had not seen in a century. Rigid, cold, and emotionless, he never spared Qiao Yanshuang an unnecessary glance outside of his treatment.

Later, the entire Chen family was massacred, and Qiao Yanshuang dug Chen Zhutian, barely alive, out of a pile of corpses.

From then on, the two depended on each other to survive.

.

Two thousand years after ascending, Chen Zhutian rose to the top of the Twelve Immortal Venerables, while Qiao Yanshuang remained an ambiguously regarded attendant by his side.

No one knew that the flawless pills flowing through the Immortal Palace came from his hands. Even fewer knew... that he and the Immortal Venerable on the high throne had long since forged a Daoist partner bond.

On the night of a banquet, Qiao Yanshuang had a dream.

He dreamed he was only a cannon-fodder character in a storybook, while the real protagonists were Chen Zhutian and the Heavenly Emperor's youngest son.

The two would meet after the banquet and become entangled from then on.

And he was merely the discarded Daoist partner who betrayed Chen Zhutian out of jealousy, only to be killed by his sword.

In the lower realm, Qiao Yanshuang had taken hidden blades for Chen Zhutian and shouldered the blame for him.

After ascending, he had also spent night and day refining flawless pills, until his old injuries flared up and he coughed blood, unable to move.

Even so, apart from when they were in bed, Chen Zhutian remained extremely cold toward him in daily life.

After waking from the dream and seeing how special Chen Zhutian was to the Heavenly Emperor's son, Qiao Yanshuang finally realized he'd been blinded by love all along.

Just as he decided to leave this ridiculous farce behind, something stirred in his dantian, and there was... a child in his belly.

Qiao Yanshuang: "...?!"

.

Chen Zhutian had a beloved partner. As he remembered it, they had met when they were nobodies, and stayed together through every storm and hardship.

Until one day, his sweet and beautiful partner, whose heart and eyes held only him, asked:

"Chen Zhutian, did you ever feel even a little something for me?"

Chen Zhutian thought, I did.

But looking into those tear-filled eyes, he said, "Have you had enough?"

Later, he watched helplessly as Qiao Yanshuang was forced off the Immortal-Breaking Cliff, and both he and their unborn child perished without a trace.

Chen Zhutian went mad. He searched heaven and earth but could not find Qiao Yanshuang's soul, and could only guard the belongings of the departed, consumed by regret.

.

On the Heavenly Emperor's birthday, someone from the Divine Realm arrived, bearing a gift on behalf of the Divine Lord's son.

Chen Zhutian saw a face exactly like that of his deceased partner and rushed forward. "A Yan!"

Qiao Yanshuang instinctively shielded his slightly rounded belly, his expression indifferent. "Immortal Lord, please compose yourself."

"I don't know you."
