My husband, Xie Wu Chen, was a genius sword cultivator, while I was just a mortal.

Xie Wu Chen despised foolish people.

To catch up with him, I worked hard at cultivation, but he remained indifferent:

“You have no spiritual roots, it’s a waste of effort.”

Later, he ascended, and I remarried.

On the day of my wedding, he descended to the mortal realm, his sword placed against my husband’s neck:

“Do you really want to marry this useless person?”

I stood before the sword, holding my mortal husband’s hand, and looked straight at Xie Wu Chen:

“Yes, because he never thought I was s*upid.”

Xie Wu Chen sneered:

“Just because of that?”

I nodded seriously:

“Just because of that.”

A very short and sweet story. I have to admit that I'm so happy

She didn't get back with the immortal guy who treated her like garbage.

On an amusing side note, there is a part where she's with her new husband and the dog said it was full playing on the joke about being fed dog-food.

short sweet story with a very deep meaning.

to become an immortal, doesn't mean that you have 'worldly-halo' which revolves everything & you way.

living as an ordinary mortal doesn't mean the world was unfair.

in the end, everything happens must have reasons.

Beautiful little xianxia story about a simple yet wise girl, an OP sword cultivator with no EQ, and a young Taotie beast with excellent taste in humans and food.

While reading I kept thinking, this is clearly a sweet and fluffy romance with a HE, what's with the tragedy tag? Well, I also ended up crying so hard I got a headache, so. Tag well deserved !

I only have one thing on my mind : "IT'S FREAKING CUTE !!!"

Great plot, cute couple, big heart FL and a green flag Ml, couldn't wish for more.

Spoiler

I felt so refresh when the A-hole realizes how dumb and arrogant he was.

I also truly appreciate the sub-characters growth and the lesson we get at the end :

"If he really loves, he will chose to wait for you no matter how hard or how long waiting can be"

The story was so stinking cute and tear jerking.... I was crying like a dog at the end of the story.... The ML and MC are so cute, honest and such green flags.... My heart hurts for them so much... I wish for them to live happily for many many hundreds years to come and in every lifetime of MC...

Lastly I want to thank the author and the translator for their wonderful job...

I cried.

This is the most bittersweet short story I've ever read. The way this story is written has that children's story whimsy at the beginning, and it ends very elegantly and quietly.

The summary is very misleading and makes it seem like there's going to be some type of bloody drama but it doesn't. There are actual consequences to actions taken and all the characters are very adult about it.

The extras are so sweet and very much needed. The happily ever after that Disney can't beat.

It's short, sweet and a tear jerker. I love it. Their love for each other is very moving. This short story has earned a spot in my top 5 favorites.

Although he never ate her heart till the end, he already did, she poured her love for him into the flatbreads she made for him. The fact that whenever he missed her it would rain was heart-wrenching. He traveled the world while waiting, collecting stories he could share with her when they finally reunite. 😭

The last scene reminded me of the last scene from my favorite K-drama Goblin lol. Come to think of it it's a little similar, without her he was the lonely great taotie king <<less

Tragedy definitely needs to be up there in the story's genre. Fret not, however. It's just a lil bump in the road. In fact, it greatly enhances their love story.

This one is a bit poignant as MC is just a mortal. What will happen will happen. Read it coz it really is quite the lovely story.

With that said... my favorite takeaway from this short novel is the dog. He's very much a part of their family and I find that so adorable.

What I like about this story is that it tells about a girl who is too kind to the point that the world is taking advantage of her kindness making her a fool.

A guy she likes doesn't treat her right or even show gratitude for all of the things she did for him.

All she wanted was some sort of respect for her. After five years of being pretend lovers so that he could "ascend" as an immortal, the guy still didn't even give a "thank you" once he left. Leaving her alone and sad.

Then a demon-like creature took a form of a human tried to manipulate her to be selfish so that she will want something so bad that she will be desperate enough to offer her heart for him to consume so that she can give him her wish.

All that backfire when he fell in love with her.

At the end, our FL knew who he is but doesn't care, the ML have a change of heart and promised her that when she passed— he will wait for her no matter how long she reincarnate, and last... The FL's first love regretted his actions and realized his love for her too late and dedicated all his life to be kind like her just like how she was kind to him.

This was a heart warming novel. I love the personality of Li Zhen Zhu (FL), she's kind, innocent and pure heart. Some people called her fool but other than lacking education, she's actually has her own set of morals and intelligence.

She suited well with Shen Tong Guang (ML). Despite his initial scheme & identity, he became good husband, appreciated her as person and loved her.

For Xie Wu Chen (ex husband), his regret was too late. Meanwhile, the villagers were good too.

The extra chapters made me emotional, love between mortal and... more>> immortal can be sweet and bitter because human's life span was short. But ML waited for FL's reincarnation for many years (with her flatbreads beside him) <<less

Such a good short, while the female lead is naive and foolish she does understand things, just such an endearing character that makes you want to root for her. The male leads perspective chapters were also great.

This is so good and a lot food for the soul.

At one point I thought Xie guy would get the FL but I was so wrong. To what I thought a simple short novel but this was heavily packed with lessons and bucket of tear jerking moments too.

My heart aches so much for the FL. She gives and gave a lot and expects nothing in return. What we thought compassion is means foolishness to others. It doesn't matter if they don't appreciate your help as long as you did it... more>> with a pure heart and that was what our FL is. All those struggles of FL were paid in return for having a family for a lifetime with ML who loved and cherished her eternally. Moreoever who waited for her return and only wanted her. I'm just happy they got reunited again. <<less

Heart warming and CUTE🥺🥺

Teary-eyes. At some point, my tears unknowingly slide down my face. FL is pure and following her own principle to live her life. It's great that she can move on from XWC.
Spoiler

I would like to praise STG, 46 years of waiting is not easy ah. Only sweet flatbreads. Sweet flatbreads and sweet flatbreads T ^ T

Love it!
