And here is the spoiler: Spoiler: MC and ML's life in Gengchen Xianfu The history of Gengchen Xianfu Sima family was once a strong family in the cultivation world. They were the foundation of Gengchen Xianfu, the number one sect in the cultivation world. They had several retainers who later became big families in Gengchen Xianfu. But over time, Sima family came to decline and the retainers schemed to take the power from their master. Now, Sima family only left with one descendant, Sima Jiao. Sima Jiao was one-in-a-million genius of cultivation world. He became the pinnacle of the cultivation world in a short time and he also inherited Fengshan spiritual fire from his mother. Because of Fengshan spiritual fire, his blood was very precious. His blood alone was a powerful elixir while Fengshan blood congealing flower could advance one's cultivation for several thousands years in one go. That's why although the Sima family's retainers feared Sima Jiao, they also coveted his power and wanted to control him but they always failed to do so and even made him stronger. Last time they tried to trap Sima Jiao was 500 years ago. They used so many arrays and formations and even sacrificed the lifes of so many elders to imprison him in Three Saints Mountain. But he was bound to awake again and the day of his awakening was when the story began. MC met ML and their life at Gengchen Xianfu MC was transmigrated into a small-time disciple with a low cultivation level. She didn't have any memory of the original owner and could only lived dazedly as part of Gengchen Xianfu. One day, she was chosen to be one of the woman who would serve Sima Jiao after he's awake. She was brought to Three Saints Mountain with other 99 women who were chosen and then waited for Sima Jiao's arrangement. But Sima Jiao didn't care about them at all. He knew that they're spies who were sent by Gengchen Xianfu's higher-ups with different motives, most of it were to secretly kill him. Sima Jiao knew about it because he could perceive other's emotion towards him and also because he could force others to tell him the truth. To those who were found out by him, he directly killed them without mercy until only several women remained. MC was one of the woman who was able to survive because she didn't have any hostile thought towards Sima Jiao. Her "salted-fish" attitude also managed to attract Sima Jiao's attention. Even his pet, the big black snake, was friendly towards her because she always gave it delicious foods. After making sure that MC didn't intend to kill him, Sima Jiao let her stay by his side and gave her a task to water the Fengshan spiritual fire everyday. The task was considered easy for the lazy MC and she still had much times to laze around everyday. But her peaceful day was disrupted after several Gengchen Xianfu's elders and disciples and even the women who were sent to Sima Jiao tried to ambush him. They failed of course and Sima Jiao even took advantage of their ambush to break free from his cage. The three saints mountain was destroyed and the sect master, Shi Qian, could only act innocent and even humbly invited Sima Jiao to stay at Baili Mountain temporarily until The three saints mountain was repaired. MC continued her leisure life in Baili Mountain but she didn't know that she was in a danger because of her identity. MC actually came from demon realm. She was brought by one of Gengchen Xianfu's diciple, Yuan Zeng, to deal with Sima Jiao. Yuan Zeng tried to communicate with MC after she stayed in Baili Mountain but she ignored him since she didn't remember who he was. Yuan Zeng was angry and activated the bone-eroding poison inside MC's body to make her suffer. MC had no idea what happened to her when her abdomen hurted suddenly. She could only find Sima Jiao for help. Sima Jiao fed MC his blood to purify the poison. He also gave her Fengshan blood congealing flower and made her cultivation increase directly to soul formation stage in the process. MC managed to survive and she was dumbfounded when she suddenly became soul formation stage cultivator after she woke up but then she didn't think too much about it and still lived a lazy life like usual. Several days later, Yuan Zeng tried to meet MC again after he came to know that MC managed to survive. Sima Jiao told MC to meet Yuan Zeng and he directly killed him after his meeting with MC. It was quite peaceful for some times after that until one day, Sima Jiao took MC to one of the small city in the outer circle of Gengchen Xianfu. There, he came to find the Yan family. The Yan family had a unique bloodline. In a rare occurrence, they could give birth to a child with a small amount of Fengshan blood like Sima family. The child with Fengshan blood would be brought to Baifeng Mountain and that place was Sima Jiao's target this time. For several thousands years, Baifeng Mountain was the breeding place for people with Fengshan blood and Sima Jiao couldn't stand it after he knew about that place. He directly destroyed the whole Baifeng Mountain with his Fengshan spiritual fire without leaving any survivor behind. Sima Jiao's act this time made Shi Qian and the other palace masters angry. They decided to fight Sima Jiao to death and successfully made him severely injured. MC knew that Sima Jiao wouldn't last long with his injury so she directly withdrew him from the fight and they ran away together with the help of the black snake. On the way, they met a monk who once helped Sima Jiao to supress his bloodthirsty nature in the past. The monk told MC that the key to Sima Jiao's survival was the beads in Sima Jiao anklet but only the destined one who could take the beads from his anklet. MC was of course the destined one and she easily took the beads from Sima Jiao's anklet and fed him with it. The beads indeed healed Sima Jiao's physical injury but it didn't heal his soul who was damaged during the fight. The Fengshan spiritual fire told her to enter Sima Jiao's spiritual palace and heal Sima Jiao's soul from inside. MC, who never bother to learn about cultivation, had no idea how to do it and could only improvise. Due to her ignorance, she accidentally did a dual-cultivation (something that only Dao partner usually did together) with Sima Jiao so they could be considered to be Dao partner from then on. But MC and Sima Jiao didn't reject that idea and they even enjoyed doing dual-cultivation together after that. After Sima Jiao's condition got better, they set off to Luohe Xianfang. There, they disguised their selves as the twin siblings: MC became Yong Lingchun while Sima Jiao became Yong Shiqiu. The siblings were admitted to Chen Xuefu (note: academy's name) and both MC and Sima Jiao decided to stay there for the time being. MC took advantage of her time in academy to learn more about cultivation while Sima Jiao secretly went out every night to kill the family who was closed to Shi Qian. MC once again had a leisure life being a student. She also could eat and buy anything that she wanted because Yong Lingchun was quite rich. But one day, she had a bad luck and accidentally offended Yue Hui, one of Gengchen Xianfu palace master's daughter, when she went shopping with Yong Lingchun's maids. MC didn't want to make a trouble and was ready to back off but Yue Hui wanted to snatch the black snake who came along with MC. Of course MC refused her but she couldn't beat Yue Hui's guards who were also in soul formation stage so she was helpless when they kidnapped and beat her. The black snake came back to Chen Xuefu and took Sima Jiao to rescue MC. Sima Jiao found MC in Yue Hui's dungeon. He was furious after seeing MC's condition who was full of injury and he killed everyone in Yue Hui's palace, including Yue Hui herself. After killing Yue Hui, MC and Sima Jiao couldn't disguise as Yong siblings anymore so they left Chen Xuefu. MC and ML went to Fenghua city and MC disguised herself as Shi Yuxiang, the lord of Fenghua city, while Sima Jiao disguised himself as one of Shi Yuxiang's male concubine. Shi Yuxiang was one of Shi family's member but she was unfavored. Due to MC's kidnapping, Sima Jiao robbed Shi Yuxiang's treasure and made MC a defense artifact so she could hold on any attack until Sima Jiao came to rescue her. He also took advantage of Shi Yuxiang's Shi family bloodline to gain access to thunderous valley for MC's tribulation because only Shi family's member could enter the valley. In thunderous valley, Shi family's member could get an easier thunder tribulation so that's why Sima Jiao took MC there. In the end, MC managed to survive the tribulation but it mostly due to ML who averted most of the thunders with his bare hands. After that, they had a leisure life again. Sima Jiao often took her to play at Shi family's secret place. One of them was Taiwei Mountain, the place where Shi Qian's kept his magical beasts. MC treated that place like a huge zoo and she took a leisure walk with Sima Jiao while admiring the beasts. When they reached the inner side of the mountain, Sima Jiao noticed something wrong. He felt the same formation which trapped him for 500 years back then and suspected that Shi Qian hid a big secret inside it. Sima Jiao told MC to go back to Fenghua city first while he investigated the formation. MC obeyed him and went back by herself. After seeing MC off, Sima Jiao began to break the formation and went inside it. In there, he faced several obstacles but he's always able to defeat it. When he defeated the last obstacle, Sima Jiao finally realized what Shi Qian hid inside the formation. It turned out, Shi Qian imprisoned Sima Shi, Sima Jiao's father, there and used him to cultivate a new spiritual fire. Shi Qian, who came after Sima Jiao broke the formation, tried to prevent Sima Jiao to destory his lifetime's effort but he was a bit too late since Sima Jiao already swallowed the new spiritual fire. Shi Qian was furious and fought with Sima Jiao. Meanwhile, unknown to Sima Jiao, another Shi family's member kidnapped MC from Fenghua city and brought her to Shi Qian's palace. Shi Qian planned to use her to threaten Sima Jiao but before he was able to tell him about MC, Sima Jiao already blew up the entire Gengchen Xianfu's spiritual veins and drowned all Gengchen Xianfu's palaces in the sea of flames, including the place where MC was detained. Shi Qian fell into despair after seeing Gengchen Xianfu destroyed in front of his eyes but he managed to laugh at Sima Jiao because he killed MC with his own hands. Sima Jiao was panic for the first time in his life after knowing that MC was in Shi Qian's palace because there's no way she could survive the Fengshan spiritual fire. He tried to find MC's body but she wasn't there. He also tried to find MC's soul but to no avail. Meanwhile, Shi Qian and his direct family managed to escape from the battle and fleed to Demon realm. Spoiler: MC and ML's life in demon realm 10 years later, in demon realm. MC wasn't actually died. She was kidnapped by Shi Qian and his family before the flame reached her. Not only that, they also erased MC's memory and brainwashed her to hate Sima Jiao. But their brainwashing didn't work on MC because MC thought that she wasn't the original owner and she had no enmity towards Sima Jiao (although she technically a member of Shi family since Shi Qian told her that she was her daughter) so whatever Sima Jiao did to Shi family or original owner had nothing to do with her. During these 10 years, unlike when she was in immortal realm, MC had a hard life in demon realm. She, who hated to kill people, reluctantly learnt to kill because in demon realm, she would get killed instead if she was soft-hearted. She also had to work everyday to earn money but luckily, she had a best friend, Hong Luo, who worked at the same place with her. Meanwhile, Sima Jiao in these 10 years also wasn't idle. He still tried to find MC's soul even only a fragment but he still couldn't find it. He did it while tracking the remaining of Shi family and killing them. Because he couldn't find MC, he vented his anger on the demon lord who sent MC to Gengchen Xianfu to deal with him. He killed the demon lord and took over his city. He also conquered the other cities after that to unite all demon cities under him. 10 years later, Sima Jiao's generals and the black snake arrived at MC's city to conquer it but the city lord immediately surrendered before they managed to fight. Shi Qian and his remaining family heard about the generals arrival and decided to escape from the city with MC. Before leaving the city, MC went to find Hong Luo to say goodbye but she only saw Hong Luo's corpse instead. MC was so sad because Hong Luo was her only friend in these 10 years so after she cremated her, she tried to find the murderer and avenged Hong Luo by herself. From the passerby, MC came to know that Hong Luo's killer were Zhi brothers who were also the generals of Sima Jiao. After seeing the situation, she snuck to the general's camp and successfully killed the brothers. Unfortunately, she got caught by the black snake. The black snake still recognized her as one of its master so it cheerfully brought her back to Sima Jiao's side. Thanks to the black snake, MC and Sima Jiao finally reunited after 10 years but there's no heartfelt reunion since Sima Jiao soon realized that MC lost her memories after questioning her for several times. With his ability, Sima Jiao could instantly restore MC's memories but he wasn't in hurry and prefered MC to remember it by herself. After that, MC began her leisure life in Sima Jiao's palace. Surprisingly, although she was sure that Sima Jiao wasn't her boyfriend but the original owner's, she still felt the sense of intimacy towards Sima Jiao and she didn't want to reject him. That's why she was able to calmly stay in Sima Jiao's palace without any burden. She even asked Sima Jiao to resurrect Hong Luo for her and he readily agreed to her request. Because of the Fengshan spiritual fire 10 years ago, MC was injured and her cultivation regressed to soul formation. Sima Jiao focused on treating MC's injury and after she was healed, her cultivation began to increase again and soon, she was able to find something new in her consciousness, something that wasn't there before when she was still in soul formation stage. It's like a storage place where MC kept her things. She also found something familiar like her own writing and the puppets that she created with emoji. It's proved that she was indeed Sima Jiao's girlfriend since the beginning. Although MC still didn't remember anything, she became more comfortable with Sima Jiao after knowing that they're a real lovers but somehow, Sima Jiao refused to let MC come to his spiritual palace. MC felt suspicious but she didn't force Sima Jiao further. Their days passed peacefully. Sima Jiao brought MC to travel to the immortal realm stayed there for a while before going back to the demon realm. Because MC liked immortal realm more than demon realm, Sima Jiao promised to build a new palace for her in the border of demon and immortal realm. Meanwhile, Sima Jiao's general successfully captured the remaining of Shi family, including Shi Qian and Sima Jiao immediately killed him. Then the day became peaceful again. But after several years together, MC felt Sima Jiao became more distant. He often went to seclusion alone and he still refused to let MC enter his spiritual palace. When he was out of seclusion, he only asked whether MC needed anything and then gave her many things. MC felt like Sima Jiao wanted to go somewhere and it's proved not long after that. It turned out, his body already deteriorated since the last battle with Shi Qian and he was dying. Before he died, he researched a way to transfer Fengshan spiritual fire to MC in a safe way and he really made it. He also stabilized the demon realm's condition so there's no longer a threat around MC. On the day before Sima Jiao died, he forcefully transferred his spiritual fire to MC. MC adamantly refused and she even cried bitterly when she saw Sima Jiao dying in front of her. But there's nothing she could do about it. She could only forcefully cut the transfer halfway so Sima Jiao could at least preserve his soul. Because of that, MC was hurted every few days in a month because of that fire but she endured it because it's nothing compared to Sima Jiao's suffering all these times. Her pain also made her slowly regained her memories. Spoiler: MC and ML's life in mortal world Several years later, Sima Jiao was reincarnated as an emperor of Hu county in mortal world. In the beginning, MC wanted to secretly observed him first before finding a way to be by his side but Sima Jiao accidentally saw her when she took a walk and demanded to meet her. MC calmly met him but she couldn't help but to cry bitterly after seeing him again. Sima Jiao usually didn't have any patient towards anyone but he was flustered when he saw MC crying and even tried to coax her like it's a natural thing to do. After that, he directly brought MC to Yan city and made her his imperial concubine. After observing MC for a while, Sima Jiao actually felt suspicious of MC's real identity but somehow, he still chose to believe her. Meanwhile, MC tried to recreate their memories together so Sima Jiao would slowly remember her. She even brought the black snake to the palace but Sima Jiao mistakenly thought that it was his son since its face was similar to him when it changed to its human form. After being together for a while, Sima Jiao became more and more like his past self. MC was suspicious that Sima Jiao actually remembered her already. She also regretted forcing Sima Jiao to live when he wanted to die due to his suffering all his life. Sima Jiao consoled MC when she told him about her feeling. He told her that if he really wanted to die, she wouldn't be able to save his soul no matter what. At that time, he completely let MC decide whether to let him live or die. If she loved him enough and didn't mind to suffer a backlash a bit then he would live but he also didn't mind if MC let him die. Thankfully, MC loved him and couldn't bear him to die. After Sima Jiao remembered his past, he started to regain his cultivation and then they lived happily ever after. Spoiler: Extra Note: The extra happened in interstellar world with MC and Sima Jiao as the leads but I don't know whether it happened in parallel world or in the future after MC and Sima Jiao in cultivation world died. The story: MC was the daughter of a lieutenant in capital A star and she's an A. The so-called A, B, and O referred to the three major categories of the current gender system. A referred to a part of people whose combat power and spiritual power far exceed those of ordinary people. As long as it was A, both men and women were strong. O was completely the opposite of A. They had low physical and combat power, and were generally sensitive and gentle. Their physique was naturally suitable for fertility. The relationship between O and A was due to the pheromone. The higher the pheromone integration, the better the relationship between the two. As for B, they were ordinary people, nothing extraordinary, no pheromone. This category accounted for most of the people in the population. Although MC was an A, she was a bit abnormal, unlike her siblngs. She was weak and far from extraordinary but MC herself didn't care about it. She just lived her life leisurely. One night, MC's father made an announcement. Father Liao said that the prince of the empire had reached the age of marriage, but in the upper class, he could not find a marriage partner with a match of more than 60%. There was no way he could reach 24 without any suitable marriage partner. The emperor had no choice but to lower his requirements for marriage candidates. Children born in a lieutenant-level family could have the opportunity to be selected as a candidate. Since Prince Sima Jiao was O, all Father Liao's daughters had a chance to be selected and they're all felt excited about it, except MC because with her qualification, she was sure that she wouldn't be chosen by the prince. That's why MC came to the selection with nothing-to-lose attitude. In the selection, MC felt bored so she briefly came to the garden and enjoyed the night view. Beside her, there's also another man who's also there. MC smelled a barbeque from that man but when she asked about it, he didn't answer her. He only gave her a red flower and then he went away. MC also went back to the selection while holding the flower and faced the astonishment of all the people in the selection. She was asked about where she got her flower from and MC truthfully told them that a young man in garden gave it to her. It turned out, the flower was a sign that she was selected to the next round so MC miraculously passed that night's selection. In the next selection, Sima Jiao himself fought with the all candidates except MC. He was so strong although he was an O. When all the candidates were defeated, MC wanted to concede defeat but Sima Jiao instead told her that she was selected as the crown princess. MC was dumbfounded but she could only go home and waited for the compability test result between her and Sima Jiao. And the result was: they're 100% compatible. Not long after that, they're married but because MC was an A, she couldn't get pregnant and had a child. Sima Jiao, who thought that MC wanted a child, ordered the research institute to make an artificial womb for MC. Because of that, MC and other A women could have a child on their own. MC and Sima Jiao had several children and then they lived happily ever after.
