Immortal Wife, Where Can You Run?

Chu Xiyao is the Matchmaker Immortal Lord's most beloved disciple and the cherished youngest daughter of the Jade Emperor and Queen of Heaven. But her mischievous antics have left the strings of fate on the Marriage Tree in a complete muddle. Luckily, the Matchmaker managed to set most of the red strings right in time. The only part he couldn't repair was the spot Xiyao had trampled. After secretly making some calculations, he discovered that Xiyao's destined tribulation had arrived. The Jade Emperor and Queen of Heaven discussed the rules with her, sealed most of her magical powers, and sent her straight down to the mortal world. Fortunately, she can regain some of her powers by reuniting a couple she accidentally separated. At least that is some consolation. After falling into the mortal world, she passed out. When she woke up, she was in a lavishly decorated room, with a woman sitting beside her and crying. Being kindhearted, she simply asked, “Why are you crying?” What in the world is going on? Why is she wearing a bridal gown and sitting in a wedding sedan? Well, she promised that woman she would marry in place of her dead daughter to repay her kindness. Even though she would have been fine even if the family hadn't saved her. But Father said immortals must be kind and compassionate, and repay kindness with gratitude. But why is this man so cold? Huh? His red string is not only broken, its origin is nowhere to be found! Waaah… Master never taught me what to do about this! What am I supposed to do? Is the very first mission really this difficult? All right! If she can find the source of his red string and find him a good wife, then she can leave and continue her mission. Once she completes it, she can return to Heaven, right? He is Liu Shaoqing, the Grand Master of Passionate Love Manor. Cold by nature and strange in his ways, he is a business genius and the richest man in the Night Nether Kingdom. Yet he always wears a wide-brimmed bamboo hat and never shows his true face. No one knows how different he is from everyone else beneath that hat. Only she has seen his unusual appearance. She didn't scream or lose her senses. Instead, she looked at him with fascination, stirring a feeling in him unlike anything he had felt before… Scene 1: They are halfway to the wedding when, by a twist of fate, they have to spend the night outdoors. What is going on? A hanging ghost is looking for someone to take its place! How did this silly younger brother of her “husband,” who came to fetch her, get bewitched so easily? That woman said she mustn't lift the bridal veil! But, but, if she doesn't hurry, it'll be too late! She can't just stand by and let someone die! Without a second thought, she lifts the veil, hypnotizes everyone else, and races alone to the hanging ghost's lair. Waaah, this ghost is so ugly! Way uglier than the ghosts she saw in the Ghost Realm before! Aren't ghosts in the Ghost Realm all normal? Why do the ghosts in the human world look like this? After a fight, she finally helps the ghost pass on and hypnotizes the adorable, dazed younger brother into returning to the group. She happily takes the gift the hanging ghost gives her, unaware that in the darkness of the ruined temple, a pair of cold eyes tinged with an eerie red have appeared, their owner looking startled. He has suddenly become interested. Could she really be that woman from the legend? She's getting more and more intriguing! Scene 2: On their wedding night, the moment her veil is lifted, Xiyao cries out, “Xiao Qing, why are you here? I mean, I do have some strange feelings for you, but you shouldn't be here! Hurry and get out, or my ‘husband’ might come and squeeze you to death!” “Who told you the manor lord squeezes people to death?” The man's cold tone made Xiyao uncomfortable. “That woman… I mean, my mother said so. My ‘husband’ married three wives, and all of them died suddenly within three hours. I wonder what my ‘husband’ is, a person or maybe a monster?” Xiyao tilted her head, bit her finger, and thought it over before answering. The man stared at her adorable face with a cold gaze, feeling as if something inside him had been stirred. Then he suddenly stiffened, looking a little angry. “What about you? Aren't you afraid the manor lord will eat you too? Why marry him if you're so scared?” “I'm not scared! Why should I be?” Xiyao looked at the man in front of her in confusion and asked. “Didn't you say the manor lord is a monster? Aren't you afraid he'll eat you?”
