Sweet, kind, and resilient little spirit flower vs. aloof, handsome, secretly passionate immortal brother
*
Other childhood sweethearts are all deeply devoted to each other. Ji Xueling, however, is convinced that she and Xiang Yueli can't stand the sight of one another.
At the Immortal Music Ceremony, snow-white cranes swept across the sky. The man was cool and handsome, radiating an ethereal aura. But when he saw a certain someone, he turned his face away ever so slightly (shy...).
Onlookers praised him: "Immortal Lord Yueli is so handsome. How could anyone not fall for him?"
Ji Xueling: "? Is he handsome? Maybe sleeping beside my brother since we were kids made me immune? Or maybe I've just seen enough of him?"
Who knew that fate would take its winding course and the world would turn upside down? The two went down to the mortal realm to undergo a trial, only to have their bodies switched by a curse.
Even more outrageous was that...
They had to cultivate together once to switch back for a single day!
The first time they switched bodies...
Ji Xueling stared at the incomparably handsome face in the bronze mirror, and then at...
She trembled in fright, tears welling in her eyes. "Brother Yueli, this is so scary. Can we get rid of it...? Help!"
Xiang Yueli: "..."
Once she got used to it...
One morning, she gave it a few casual strokes, still half-asleep. "Hehe, Xiang Yueli, this is so much fun."
"Ji. Xue. Ling."
At the low, warning growl, she snapped awake, eyes wide. "OVO..."
(What do I do? I've driven my cold-faced brother completely wild! Help, please! It's kind of urgent!)
After they switched back...
Ji Xueling fled as fast as she could. "I was wrong! Brother, please let me go!"
But then...
One night, Xiang Yueli started acting strangely.
He carried the faint scent of wine, his long black hair loose. He was even three parts more handsome than the fox demoness famed as the most beautiful under heaven.
He held her captive, smelling the scent of someone else that had clung to her for three days straight. He spoke calmly: "The first time was an accident. The second time could have been an accident too. But the third time..."
For once, Ji Xueling meekly admitted defeat. "Th-that was an accident too."
(My husband is jealous and forbids me from flirting with pretty boys outside!)
Reading Guide
1. Includes body-swapping and dual cultivation, with both partners taking the lead, and a male-female pairing. The aloof, handsome older brother will do anything for love and let his darling little sister have her way with him. If that's not your thing, read with caution.
2. They are not related by blood. This is a niche story, so if it's not to your taste, please don't take it out on the cook.
