The Celestial Court Is One Big Battleground

Ye Tao was once the most beloved princess of the aquatic clan. Since carp could leap over the Dragon Gate and both clans carried ancient bloodlines, every princess and prince of the koi clan was sent to one of the Four Seas to marry.

Unfortunately, Ye Tao's fiance, Ao Bing, was skinned and had his tendons torn out by Nezha. It wasn't all bad, since she had always hated that arrogant, foolish dragon.

But when she returned to her clan's waters with her wedding dress in hand, she found her people dead, and the culprit...

Was none other than the killer of her fiance, Nezha.

Fate is never kind to anyone. The Chan Sect has always despised those born with fur or horns, or hatched from eggs in water or on land.

Nezha belonged to the Chan Sect, so she joined the Jie Sect, vowing to be enemies with him from that day on. To take revenge, she used love enchantments, yearning blossoms, and corpse blood on him. During the Investiture of the Gods calamity, everyone cursed her as a Jie Sect demoness.

She actually wanted to drag the pure and spotless Lotus Prince into the mortal world.

The Third Prince, who knew nothing and had a terrible memory, simply assumed his charm was so great that this carp was lovesick over him, and innocently stepped into the trap she had carefully woven.

But the laughable thing was that even she, the player moving the pieces, fell in love for real and could not escape.

[Reader's Guide]

1. The main text is in first person.

2. Expect melodrama, real enemies, and real blood feuds. Demon and immortal cannot be together, since their values are different. This is an exercise in writing romance, and I want to try a story with intense emotional conflict. It may get a little melodramatic, so please don't judge it by conventional morality or you'll have a painful time, seriously. Since the female lead isn't human, some things about her are extreme and outlandish.

3. The female lead is very dominant and protective, and I love beautiful, strong characters who suffer.

4. This is not a one-on-one romance. The more melodramatic, the better.

5. Content warning: The Heavenly Court arc inevitably features Ao Bing and their entanglement, but this is Dragon Third Prince from the original Investiture of the Gods. The story involves the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods and karmic consequences from the Primordial Era.

6. Both sides get their own revenge arc.
