Jade Beauty, Heart of Stone

Thanks to @BoqiObstacle for the character design! Everyone in the land knows about Xie Qiu Shi, the madman in Fei County who’s so devastatingly handsome it could kill you. Every day, he pretends to be a butcher and plays the fool. He gets beaten up and fakes accidents for compensation, and shamelessly flirts with the immortal lord painted on the wall of a ruined temple, claiming he’s a god’s lonely wife left waiting in the mortal world. He carries on with his shameless life day after day, until the immortal lord appears in the flesh, and his salacious rumors become official history in the blink of an eye. ❀ The immortal is not so immortal, and how could a stubborn stone understand the human heart? The butcher, who never acts serious, once held a blade capable of overturning the Heavenly Dao and slaying immortals. The aloof, cold-hearted immortal lord had long since fallen into ruin, sinking deeper and deeper into depravity through thousands of years of solitude. So whose scheme was this, really? ❀ Originally titled Don’t Fall in Love with a Butcher. The main story is complete and is being revised as it’s posted.
