Heaven's Consort in a Golden Age: Ruling the World

“May this heart find peace at last, while pure angelica blooms by the Yuanxiang.” The man sat beside the Yuanxiang River, repeating the verse over and over. Dressed all in white, he had a hint of sorrow in his eyes and seemed untouched by worldly concerns. Six-petaled flowers grew around the house behind him, their vivid red blooms almost seeming to conceal a woman dancing gracefully among them. “Ze Qi, I’ve kept you waiting!” the woman said to the man by the river, appearing and disappearing before his eyes. He whipped around, but there was no one there, only the bright flowers swaying in the breeze. “Your Majesty, the Demon Realm has sent someone to negotiate peace with the Celestial Realm.” The attendant standing nearby hated to disturb him, but this matter was of great importance to the Celestial Realm, so he had no choice but to speak. The man rose, glanced at the Yuanxiang River, and vanished from its banks.
