Phoenix Rests on Wen Yu

share time: 2025-12-18 06:02:36

Qing Huang, an ancient phoenix, was stripped of her divine bones and exiled to the mortal world as a wounded white bird with broken wings—all because she opposed the Heavenly Emperor’s tyranny of using human souls to forge immortality pills. Wen Yu, a kind hunter, made her a nest from old cotton, braved rain and two mountains to buy medicine, and poured all his care into her. Three months later, Qing Huang regained human form, only to find Wen Yu dying from a snake bite he’d gotten while saving her. The Heavenly Emperor’s envoy arrived with a "Return Order": if she resumes her divine position as an "obedient phoenix," she’ll get the elixir to save Wen Yu; if she refuses, she’ll lose her divine power forever and become a mortal. Torn between her lofty status and the man who’d warmed her with his life, Qing Huang looked at Wen Yu’s pale face and remembered his words: "Even if we only live one day, I want to watch the clouds on the mountain peak with you." She clenched his hand, a flame burning in her eyes: "I’d rather fight heaven than leave him—I want to be a mortal who can feel pain and joy."
