Chapter 2: “Declining the engagement earlier is also good, to prevent that person at home from thinking about it and eating vinegar.”

Hua Che realized he was probably……reborn.

He didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.

He blanked out for a long time before he finally remembered what time period he was in right now.

In this age, the immortal realm had many factions. Big and small sects were basically breeding like flies, with the Shang Qing Immortal Sect in charge. 

Under Shang Qing Immortal Sect’s leadership, there were also three other factions that each governed their own region. These factions were precisely Feng Ming Valley, Ye You Prefecture, and Yuntian Shuijing.

The power and influence of these three families and sects were roughly comparable, and all of them were under Shang Qing Immortal Sect’s lead.

Chu Binghuan was the eldest son in the Yuntian Shuijing family. With his illustrious family background, he was practically born into riches and honour. 

He had been outstanding at a very young age, displaying wisdom surpassing normal people and talent that evoked jealousy.

This year, Chu Binghuan was sixteen years old. Hua Che was three months older than him.

Just like how the people in the past had denounced him, Hua Che’s birth mother was a prostitute. She was a woman who had gotten trapped in the red-light district, one that had undergone the vicissitudes of life.

Her name was Hua Mei’er, and she appeared just like her name1, looking extremely delicate, charming, and amorous. Her seductive skills were superb and were reportedly the envy of the entire nine states and four seas. Regardless of whether one was human, a spirit, or a demon, they would all become head over heels for her. Even an almighty master cultivating the ruthless way wouldn’t be able to resist one of her backward glances. 

No, even a tree made out of iron, or a stubborn rock, wouldn’t be able to withstand one of her smiles.

Despite this, a prostitute was still a prostitute. No matter how talented or outstanding, no matter if her beauty was enough to cause the downfall of a city, Hua Mei’er was still in the lowest profession; plebeian, humble and insignificant.

Since Hua Mei’er was lowly and humble, of course her son was also lowly.

It was reasonable to say that since their identity and social ranking were as far apart as the sky and the ground, Hua Mei’er and the Chu family shouldn’t have interacted at all. 

Unfortunately, God liked meddling in other people’s affairs, insisting on a predestined marriage that spanned so many generations.

The explanation could be found in the last, last generation—Chu Binghuan’s paternal grandmother once fell into dire straits. Luckily, she had the fortune to be rescued by Hua Che’s maternal grandmother. 

The two felt familiarity at first sight, and immediately became sworn sisters with a profound friendship. Chu Binghuan’s paternal grandmother recalled this life-saving grace extremely fondly, and felt tender affection once she met the young Hua Mei’er. Thus, she proposed an arranged marriage between the two families.

Unfortunately, at the time Hua Mei’er was already engaged, so Chu Binghuan’s paternal grandmother had no other choice but to reluctantly give up. However, she was extremely obsessed with the idea of connecting the two families with a marriage. Inspiration struck, so she proposed her idea to Hua Che’s maternal grandmother: it would be better to let their grandchildren marry instead.
