share time: 2026-02-09 07:11:50

Su Wanwan, a thousand-year-old cultivator, is just one final "Mortality Tribulation" away from ascending to immortality—she must marry a mortal with a "sincere heart". She picks Lu Xingyao, a lifelong single programmer, planning to finish it quickly as a formality. But Lu has long noticed her "unusualness": she fixes computers with glowing fingertips, revives dead pothos overnight… When she's ready to leave after "completing the task", Lu holds freshly baked sugar cookies, blushing, and says, "I checked—cultivators need hot meals too." And the thunder tribulation that was supposed to strike? It turns into a pink cloud swirling around their rental—turns out "sincere marriage" was never about the ritual. It's the first time in a thousand years she's wanted to "stay in the mortal world".
