How a Sickly Young Master Tamed the Weapon Sect's Genius

There are only two kinds of people in this world: cultivators with spiritual roots and ordinary people without them, those who want to become immortals and those who don't. Ming Ying happened to be somewhere in between. Burdened by a prophecy about a goddess, she was born incomplete and had one foot in the grave. The Ming family was a cultivation clan, and she was the only ordinary person in it. But Ming Ying didn't particularly care. She simply kept her head down and spent her days... farming. That was until an old marriage contract bound her to Xiao Jingze, the famously unruly genius of the Artifact Sect. When asked about it, Xiao Jingze couldn't care less. "She's just a figurehead, nothing more." When a letter still beaded with dew arrived from his fiancée, Xiao Jingze gave a dismissive laugh and opened it. Ming Ying: I don't want to marry, and you don't want to either. Let's work together and burn the marriage contract ^v^ Xiao Jingze: ...Wait, why does she get to decide? - Before meeting his fiancée, Xiao Jingze had wondered what this sickly girl, who had only ten years left to live, would look like. Probably pale and ill, dressed in flowing white. Or perhaps she was the kind of person who sighed over spring and autumn and considered herself above everyone else. In any case, she must be terribly dull. He was arrogant and brash. The moment he saw her, he felt something he couldn't quite name, only that it was a pity. The story was vivid, but their time together was too short. The girl was like a plum blossom in spring. A petal drifted lightly from the branch, twirled playfully in the air, then came to rest quietly on his shoulder. He looked out at the blossoms raining down beyond the window. "Miss Ming, you're so cruel." The bitter smell of medicine filled the air. Ming Ying lay on the bed, laughing as she coughed. She passed out, then woke again. Seeing him with his back to her, refusing to speak, she propped her head up and smiled. "It's fine. Living this long means I've come out ahead." Xiao Jingze: "...Just shut up." * One-on-one romance, both leads' first and only, happy ending. A quirky, heart-in-hand goddess who is an ordinary mortal x a dashing, carefree genius of the Artifact Sect. They bicker like kids in the early stages. * A touch of ensemble cast, with a substantial plot. Plenty of female characters, but no rivalry between women. Everyone loves the female lead. - Theme: Fight fate for the right to live
