Nemeses turned devoted husbands | Running away while pregnant | A lunatic green-tea schemer pretending to be gentle | A farming novel transformed into a cultivation novel

Li Ansu thought she was probably the happiest laid-back person in all three realms. After all, not everyone got to find a husband who was impossibly handsome, gentle, and considerate.

Her husband was tender and attentive, and could both do her hair and cook. They had been married for years, and their life was simple and peaceful. Their only trouble was that they were a little poor. They occasionally argued, but whenever she saw his otherworldly face, all her anger seemed to vanish.

Her husband went to teach at the school in the mornings, while she prepared goods at home. On market days, they would take everything to the market together and sell it.

If anyone bullied her husband, she was the first to object, rushing over to stand up for him.

Until one dark and windy night...

"My lord! At last, your subordinates have found you!" Several ferocious-looking demon generals knelt in the courtyard. The chicken leg in her hand dropped to the ground with a thud.

She hid behind the door, only to see the man who normally wouldn't even step on an ant lightly tap his fingertip. A flash of white light passed, and blood splattered three feet high across the courtyard.

"Why are you awake, my dear?" Qi Ye gently wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, his eyes so fond they seemed to drip with tenderness. "Were you sleepwalking again?"

Li Ansu decided to turn a blind eye and lie flat.

*

The world-shaking war between gods and demons a thousand years ago ended with the Demon Lord An Su being sealed away by the Buddhist disciple Qi Ye himself.

A thousand years later, the demon An Su awoke in a quiet farmhouse, with a candle flickering softly on the windowsill.

And her nemesis, dressed in white as pure as snow and untouched by worldly dust, was now wearing an apron and carrying a bowl of black, murky medicine, smiling as innocently as could be.

With her belly slightly swollen, An Su couldn't help thinking of those wild nights. "Qi Ye! I'll kill you!"

Of course, she was no match for him. She turned to run, but the door closed by itself, though there was no wind. A pair of warm hands wrapped around her from behind.

"If you won't eat, the baby still has to."

*

The demon An Su had run amok and was scorned by the Six Realms, but Qi Ye sealed her away. From then on, peace returned to the Six Realms, and everyone rejoiced.

Only Qi Ye kept dreaming of the battle, night after night. He had mostly forgotten the details of the fight, yet his memories of her grew ever clearer, until he could no longer sleep.

Once again, he dreamed of a quiet wilderness. Qi Ye followed the dream, searching for the place.

He thought himself absurd for actually coming all this way because of a nonsensical dream. He was about to return to the Upper Realm.

"...Teacher?"

A voice sounded behind him, and Qi Ye stopped in his tracks.

Content warnings:

1. The protagonists have flaws and are not perfect.

2. When they were enemies, they were simply opponents, with no romantic feelings.

3. Gods and demons represent different sides, not good and evil.

4. Ansu means "calm and composed."

Please add my upcoming novel, "The Lonely Whale Returns to Harbor," to your collection. I have 200,000 words ready, with a steady update schedule.

[Warm on the outside, cool on the inside fox-like older woman x arrogant, easily flustered, tragic and beautiful wolfdog] [Long-laid plans] [Young man, older woman]

Wen Jingshu became famous at a young age. At just twenty, she wore a wedding ring as she claimed the Best Actress crown.

Everyone said she lived like a fairy tale, until she caught her husband cheating with her own eyes, turning that fairy tale into a complete joke.

Later, her film became a smash hit, and the topic of an older woman dating a younger man set the internet ablaze.

The paparazzi snapped a photo at a penthouse apartment. Qin Shuo had Wen Jingshu pinned against the floor-to-ceiling window, kissing her, while the lights of countless homes outside glittered like a fallen sea of stars.

The photo was blurry, but the plain ring on the ring finger of his left hand, matching hers, was unmistakable.

*The day Wen Jingshu broke with her family to marry for love, she found a boy caught in the rain outside the film set.

She casually gave him an umbrella and showed him a little kindness, never knowing she would become the obsession he'd carry for ten years.

Later, after her divorce, she made her comeback, and her new costar was the very boy she had cruelly driven away all those years ago.

In a dim prop room, she was pressed into a corner.

"Wen Jingshu, you can't get rid of me."

Everyone on set said Qin Shuo was a gifted newcomer, a skilled actor who was willing to work hard.

Only Wen Jingshu knew how scorching the gaze of this boy, fourteen years her junior, could be.

Theme: Through all the changes of time, ambition remains undimmed.
