Yun Ji

Lu Mingshu had never believed in fate.
She hadn’t believed in it when her father had remarried and caused her family to break into pieces, nor had she believed in it when she’d been thrown into a valley to perish.
She hadn’t believed in it when she didn’t have any resources to cultivate with, nor had she believed in it when she’d been condemned by everyone.
She climbed up little by little from dust, while her reign soared into the sky, which caused the world to look on in fear!
If justice doesn’t come, I’ll personally obtain it.
If fate disregards me, I‘ll open up a way to survive.
No matter what fate throws at me, I will surely become a phoenix!
“What a ruthless woman. I’m willing to risk my life and limbs for you, willing to be calculative for you – I’m even willing to be an enemy of the entire world for you. Aren’t you moved even a little?”
“That’s right, since I‘m such a ruthless woman, what exactly is it that you like about me?"

Phoenix Destiny

Until late at night, when Xie Xingchen finally returned.


"Waiting for me so late?" He came over with a grin, intending to pinch her.


Lu Mingshu put down the pen in her hand.


Originally looking to take advantage, but deterred by her icy stare, Xie Xingchen touched his nose and obediently withdrew his hand: "Not waiting for me?"


Lu Mingshu pointed to a chair in front of her: "I have something to ask you."


Seeing him obediently sit down, she asked: "What have you been up to while I was away?"


"What?" Xie Xingchen didn't understand.


"..." He put away the smile on his face and his voice lowered, "Who told you?"


"Don't worry about who told me, did you or did you not?"


The Xie Xingchen before her reminded her of the Gentleman Lianzhen of the past. Superficially a gentleman as fine as jade, but inwardly dark and ruthless.


Gentleman Lianzhen didn't get to do anything excessive because he didn't have the chance.
