Also known as The Spirit Lord Transmigrates from a Matriarchal World
[Female top] The heroine has a resilient personality and grows stronger and stronger, with a phoenix-proud-of-the-nine-heavens kind of arc.
[Blurb]
Ling Youhuang, the former crown princess of a matriarchal kingdom on another continent.
Betrayed by her family and friends, she eventually leapt off a cliff, and transmigrated!
From the start, she came with a crazed streak. She became Du Youhuang, the illegitimate daughter of the Valley Lord of Seven Stars Valley in the White Tiger Continent of the cultivation world, a madwoman who had only just been found in the mortal realm.
In this world where spirit cultivators reign supreme, she was already twenty-four, yet hadn't even reached Foundation Establishment. She was nothing but a useless cultivator with a mixed spiritual root.
In five days, she would be forced to take the place of the Valley Lord's beloved daughter and marry the foolish son of the neighboring sect, who had unexpectedly lost all his cultivation.
Ling Youhuang: "..."
On the surface, Ling Youhuang went along with the customs of her new home (in reality, she couldn't win a fight), but on her wedding night, she planned every escape route for after she murdered him.
But when she saw her foolish husband...
She dropped her dagger and pulled him into her arms. "Looks like I won't be able to get out of this marriage after all!"
"It's all right. From now on, I'll protect you!"
In a hidden corner, the man stared in astonishment and quietly lowered the hand that had been gathering spiritual energy.
In everyone's eyes, the crazy, foolish pair caused a commotion all day long. One climbed onto the roof, the other tore it down. Their cultivation never improved, but their reputations got worse and worse, until, to everyone's delight, they were expelled by the two great immortal sects.
No one knew what had caused the upheaval between heaven and earth that day.
But strangely, the illegitimate daughter no longer seemed crazy. She was living quite comfortably and doted on her foolish husband to no end.
To be specific:
When Fu Changxiao wanted to fly, Ling Youhuang somehow found a shapeshifting dragon for him to ride.
When Fu Changxiao wanted to see the most beautiful scenery, Ling Youhuang wreaked havoc in the flower fields of several immortal sects over the course of half a month.
When Fu Changxiao wanted the most delicious food, Ling Youhuang personally kidnapped the spirit chefs of all the immortal sects.
When Fu Changxiao wanted to leave... Ling Youhuang... Ling Youhuang went even crazier.
Ever since birth, Fu Changxiao had been despised because of a prophecy. Everyone feared his cursed reputation, and even the marriage promise made by their elders was replaced with a match to a madwoman, an illegitimate daughter.
On their wedding night, this crazy woman held him and spoke with solemn tenderness: "It's all right if you don't remember that I'm your princess. You only need to remember that I'll always protect you."
Fu Changxiao, who was pretending to be a fool and planning to humiliate her, froze, forgetting every scheme he'd prepared.
He thought the rumors were right. This woman really was crazy.
And things got even more bewildering after that.
After Fu Changxiao was kicked out of Shifang City, this crazy woman was also expelled from the valley. The two of them faced each other in silence. He was just about to tell her who he really was and celebrate their parting ways.
Then he discovered that Ling Youhuang had an extraordinary identity. More importantly, he couldn't beat her.
Under the threat of her overwhelming power, Fu Changxiao shamefully gave in.
Never mind. It must be his fault. If he could only make Ling Youhuang dislike him, everything would be fine.
So he pretended to be crazy and foolish. Today he wanted to ride a dragon through the sky, tomorrow he wanted to see the prettiest flowers in the gardens of the six immortal sects, and the day after he wanted to eat the best food in the world.
He'd make Ling Youhuang see just how much trouble he was.
But the dragon came, the flowers survived, and the food was served. The crazy woman still held on to him and wouldn't let go.
Fu Changxiao was speechless. In the end, he climbed onto the dragon with food in his arms and prepared to fly far away.
On the day he left, the usually flamboyant dragon suddenly acted like a mouse that had seen a cat. It lowered its head and didn't dare move.
He didn't dare move either, because the crazy woman was holding him from behind, her voice low and eerie.
"Was last night not enough?"
"Or should I lock you up, hmm?"
Fu Changxiao, in the little black room: Help! She's really crazy!
In the early part of the story, the heroine really does treat the hero like a younger brother (even though he's older than her). Later on... well, later on, he's still her "younger brother."
[Content warnings] GB [mental and physical]
# The heroine is normal and doesn't grow anything strange. Besides the main couple, there's another GB couple.
# The protagonists aren't self-sacrificing saints. I write in a very old-fashioned style, and the heroine and her team are the strongest.
# The heroine is very crazy. She isn't exactly a yandere or a lunatic, and she has basic moral principles, but she doesn't play by the rules.
The hero is a slow burn and very dense about romance. He just needs a little more "guidance."
[Note] The heroine is relatively weak at first. This is a growth story.
