39 Chapter 53: Side Story 1

Immortal Lord Li Xuan—approachable, steady, elegant, and upright—harbored a scandalous black mark on his history that no one knew about. In his youth, he had been a scoundrel second-gen heir and total love-brained fool. He forcibly seized his beloved. Caged canary. Personal little hearth... He gleefully tried every intimate trick in the book. Of course, he later faced ruthless revenge from the other party. Years passed. Zhao Lixuan had long since painfully reformed, thoroughly turned over a new leaf, and now floated about with an otherworldly immortal grace and sanctimonious facade. That black history was too shameful—he wished he could travel back and beat his past self to death. Luckily, their debts were settled. He would never cross paths with that person again in this lifetime. ... Who could have imagined? In the fight against the Demon Realm, these bitter ex-lovers not only reunited but were forced to live together day and night—and marry for the good of the realm. Zhao Lixuan: ... Zhao Lixuan: *Black history is resurfacing—save me! Zhao Lixuan: Stay polite, courteous, evasive as hell. Zhao Lixuan: *Just smile and survive.* QvQ Melodramatic sweetness, strong x strong (main bottom). Shattered mirror reunion + epic wife-chasing crematorium. Happy ending. The psycho yandere ghost gong who darkly stalks his "wife" every day to see if she still harbors feelings for him × the fake-elegant handsome bottom who pretends "I got over you ages ago" nonstop to bury his black history.
