Jealous, mad, Heaven-Swallowing Golden Cloud Python VS peony flower goddess with a betrothed
Baili Zhirou's true form is a peony, and she is the most beautiful woman in the immortal realm.
But when her divine power weakened and the Peony clan fell into danger, their enemies from the demon realm seized the opportunity to slaughter them. Not a single soul in the entire immortal realm came to their aid.
She and Dugu Yi had been betrothed since childhood, a match made in heaven. But when she was battered and broken and begged him for help, all she got in return was his cold indifference.
On the day the Dugu clan cast her out, Baili Zhirou was hunted by demons for three months and driven to the edge of the Immortal-Falling Cliff. She died within the Mystic Heaven Formation.
A flower goddess, gone without a trace.
Little did anyone know that in the third year after her death, a Heaven-Swallowing Golden Cloud Python would smash the entire Immortal Palace into a ruined wasteland.
The youth in yellow entered the Asura Path and slaughtered every immortal and god.
Nangong Mu, the young master of the Nangong family, is a half-demon spirit snake. With the blood of both immortals and demons, his lifespan is scattered and he will not live to a hundred. Everyone sees him as an outsider.
In his hundredth year, the little snake sneaked into the Immortal Palace's Peach Blossom Banquet and accidentally received the Peony Goddess's blessing. He overcame his tribulation and escaped his doomed fate, but by the time he went to find her, the Peony clan had already been wiped out.
The Reincarnation Pearl appeared, and the two were reunited by fate.
Reborn, Baili Zhirou publicly breaks off her engagement at a gathering of immortals and uses ruthless methods to train trusted subordinates to fight the demons.
But after she breaks off the engagement, a youth in yellow keeps lounging in the pear tree in her courtyard, watching her.
At night, the youth slaughters city after city in the demon realm, drenched in blood. Before dawn, he sneaks into her bed, suppresses his mating season even as his snake tail threatens to emerge, and wraps his arms around her from behind as he falls asleep.
Gradually, everyone in the immortal realm starts saying that the Flower Goddess broke off her engagement because a youth had stolen her heart.
Baili Zhirou can't be bothered to listen to idle gossip.
Until one day, her former fiance comes to beg for reconciliation, only for Nangong Mu to stab a gaping hole through his chest.
The usually smiling youth's golden eyes turn ruthless, the corners of his eyes blood-red, his whole body shrouded in an aura of slaughter. His snake tail appears and coils tightly around her waist. The cold touch of his scales seems to seep into her skin, and the tip of his tail teases her as it coils tighter and tighter.
"That filthy thing isn't worthy of wanting you. Sister, choose me this time."
#What do you do when your first love has a fiance? Don't worry, Snake will fight tooth and nail for you~
#Immortal clans setting, not orthodox cultivation, with a mountain of original worldbuilding
#Younger snake, mad and jealous
#The female lead is frail for a reason. Her divine power will return after she's reborn, but she's not an overpowered heroine
