(The full manuscript is already written and I'm almost at the final soul fragment side story. I'm really sorry, orz.)
When Yu Bai climbed out of the solitary tomb, a butterfly bell was wrapped around her wrist.
They say the butterfly bell can only be awakened by finding its destined person
Until one day, she grabbed the sleeve of a young man in dark robes.
In the jade bead threaded onto the black cord around his wrist, a golden butterfly fluttered its wings with a soft rustle.
"Could we... be husband and wife?"
She shook the string of beads, making them clink.
"We are, my dear wife. We even bowed to Heaven and Earth and drank the nuptial wine!"
Yin Shiyuan nodded, cheerfully admitting it.
With a smile in his eyes, he followed her home.

Later, Yu Bai recovered most of her memories.
Seeing Yin Shiyuan exposed and surrounded, she was the first to point her sword at his throat and sneer.
Just as she raised her sword to strike, he said softly, "Gently, my dear wife. Your husband is afraid of pain."
The blade stopped just short of his Adam's apple. She gritted her teeth and pulled it back. "Who's your wife?"
"We bowed to Heaven and Earth in Jinghu Town, drank the nuptial wine in Wu Village, and at Lingshan..."
"Shut up! You made up the whole husband thing, and even tricked me into a wedding ceremony while I had amnesia!"
With the sword at his throat, the Demon Venerable suddenly took her sword hand in his, his expression gentle.
"But our spiritual butterflies really did form a bond, and I really did say I'd marry you five hundred years ago."
Every cultivation sect knew that the Goddess and the Demon Venerable were enemies from past lives.
But no one knew
Five hundred years ago, when he plunged his blade into her chest atop Qingya Cliff, he had aimed half an inch off.
Countless streams of demonic energy surged into his body along the hilt...
"A Yu, remember to come home."
[Huh? Your nemesis is your wife?~]
[Can anything a prestigious orthodox sect does really count as a lie?]
[Reading Guide]
1. A goddess with overwhelming strength who always gets tricked x a sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside, love-brained Demon Venerable. Both are powerful, and they dote on each other.
2. Soul fragments trigger flashbacks. Every heartbreaking scene is a prelude to sweetness.
