The Bureau of Spiritual Affairs is a special department dedicated to protecting all living beings and fostering harmony among humans, immortals, demons, and ghosts. There’s a piece of gossip everyone in the bureau knows: its director, Wu Fenyu, has a sworn enemy who died four thousand years ago, the Immortal Lord of Tribulation Crossing, Qi Zhaoming.
On the third day after Wu Fenyu ascended, the two fought a world-shaking battle in the Celestial Court, creating Heaven’s famous pair of sworn enemies who couldn’t stand each other.
They fought for six hundred and eighty years, then bickered for another hundred and thirty amid chaos across Heaven and Earth. And then... there was no more.
Qi Zhaoming died.
He vanished without a trace. All the immortals assumed the Immortal Lord of Tribulation Crossing was dead, and his subordinates built him a clothes tomb on a mountain somewhere in the mortal realm.
On the very first day after the clothes tomb was built, someone dug it open. The culprit was Wu Fenyu, who had already been named a Heavenly Venerable.
Wu Fenyu: You’ve got the nerve to fake your death and disappear, but not the nerve to keep arguing with me?
The immortals: Oho?
And so, unofficial histories recorded that the Heavenly Venerable hated the Immortal Lord so much, he even cursed him at his grave.
No one knew how deep the Heavenly Venerable’s hatred ran. They only knew that he dug up the grave every year.
And no one knew that Wu Fenyu would lie in the empty coffin, containing nothing but robes, remembering the night before that person disappeared.
Flickering candlelight, a warm fragrance, red curtains. The Immortal Lord, usually as cool as celadon, had trembling eyelashes, and even the corners of his lips were hot.
In the four-thousandth year after the clothes tomb was built, flying swords had been replaced by airplanes. Wu Fenyu went to dig up the grave as usual, only for Qi Zhaoming to crawl out from the neighboring mountain.
Qi Zhaoming was alive, but his bones were shattered, and he was unconscious.
Wu Fenyu gritted his teeth. “I’ve searched every inch of the ground for you all these years. When you wake up, you’ll pay for this!”
He woke up, but was blind, nearly deaf, and unable to speak.
Qi Zhaoming held his hand, squeezed his arm, and touched his neck.
Wu Fenyu seized the chance to recite a string of tongue twisters, only for Qi Zhaoming to grab him by the throat.
His senses returned, but his body was frail and his spiritual power was gone.
Qi Zhaoming: This soup is awful. What dynasty’s tomb did you loot it from?
Wu Fenyu: I only added goji berries, angelica, astragalus, codonopsis, ligusticum, atractylodes, poria, and licorice. Stop complaining and drink it.
His spiritual power returned. He wanted to leave, but couldn’t.
Qi Zhaoming: Your cooking is terrible. I’m running away from home.
Wu Fenyu: Sure. Put this on first.
One day, everyone at the Bureau of Spiritual Affairs saw an elegant, understated beauty in the director’s office, wearing a limited-edition bracelet from the bureau’s Technology Department.
An employee: Why is your bracelet red?
Qi Zhaoming: Because it has listening and surveillance devices inside.
After all their tangled complications, love, and hatred, Qi Zhaoming still chose to leave. Wu Fenyu demanded furiously, “Give me a reason. Why?!”
Qi Zhaoming: I’m pregnant. I don’t think the baby is yours.
Wu Fenyu: Hm?
Golden Crow top x Azure Phoenix bottom
A Heavenly Venerable demon bird who went mad looking for his wife but refuses to admit it x An immortal spirit bird who has been locked up so long he’s grown numb, with a dry sense of humor
Reading Guide:
1. The top and bottom appear in Chapter Three. Fake enemies, real lovers; mutually exclusive, one-on-one romance; happy ending. There will be an egg-pregnancy and egg-laying arc later. The baby really is theirs!
2. Opens with a modern-day narrative, with both everyday life and monster-fighting.
3. The immortal lore is partly based on existing traditions and partly made up. There are lots of original settings, and most of the “common knowledge” is fabricated on a whim, so don’t take it too seriously!
Theme: Adapt to modern life and maintain your physical and mental health
I won't be able to recognize who is who.

My brain is itching, and I feel like I'm going to grow a brain.
Can the author provide a relationship diagram? Or give a brief introduction to the characters. I'm really confused about who is who.
