Eternal Bloom (BL)

Chapter 1 (Marriage)

It has been so many years since the former Demon Emperor fell and solace was laid upon the three realms. The mortals sang the praise of heaven for the justice served to them.

The very commemoration of the victory served an extra significance today. On the marriage of the Heaven Emperor and the Empress, another marriage was bestowed to the current Demon Emperor Shenyuan.

500 years ago during the fall of the Demon Emperor, a twins nurtured inside a lotus were rescued. Rong Ruxuan and Rong Cinian was named to be taken cared under Master Pei Jun of Mount Kunlun.

Shenyuan wasn't ignorant. He was bestowed the male of the twins to ridicule him. Who in the heaven was blind of the waste twin who didn't possess any ability for cultivation. His fate was tied with Rong Cinian who was worst than a mortal.

That's what made more captivating of his so called bride. With a riddle to decipher, his life in the demon realm wouldn't be the boredom he was acquainted with. He smirked as he met the eyes of his father Emperor and the Empress.

Those eyes have never laid on him with warmth. Everything was stored for his twin brother Zhiyuan who was the virtuous Heaven Emperor, the main hero representing the day.

All the high officials, masters and the kings of the heavenly divisions made their presence. In the middle of the hall were the two grooms and the brides bowing as they vowed the marriage.

Shenyuan carried the bride in his arms who trembled slightly because of his abrupt action.
His cold and sinister face didn't alter a bit as he vanished without a trace.

Instantly, the merry event of the day came to a freezing silence.

Shenyuan carried his bride towards the chamber of the Wuyun hall. He loosened his grip feeling the person in his arms tremble. With such a light weight, Shenyuan assumed how his life was in the past years.

He placed Rong Cinian on the bed and left the chamber without uttering a word.

"Your Majesty". Yichen bowed his head with a thin cold sweat on his forehead. The atmosphere in the study rapidly crowded with suffocating aura.

"Speak". Shenyuan said lamely but it didn't alleviate his imposing nature.

"His Highness was raised in Mount Kunlun by Master Pei Jun. After successfully transforming a human body, he worked in the library of Mount Bai Yun. His Highness didn't had much peaceful day". Yi Chen reported.

The room was invaded by silence and only his rough and suppressed breathing could be heard.

After couple of seconds Shenyuan made a voice as he walked out, "Arrange two capable maids for Wangfei".

Yi Chen bowed in response, slowing exhaling in relief.

Rong Cinian was so nervous that his body didn't feel like his own. From the moment he felt the presence of his future husband, he couldn't suppress the anxiety crawling over him.

A week ago, he was informed of his marriage to the Demon Emperor through an imperial decree. He felt undeserving of the person he was marrying to.

His Empress sister Ruxuan was impeccable in beauty and talent. All the masters in heaven praised her and attendants like him watched her in awe and appreciation.

But he was a waste. He didn't possess anything that could bring him admiration. He couldn't evade nor escape the disgusting eyes, he was well aware. Moreover, he was cursed. The colour of his hair would change every season.
His current hair was pale peach in hue inferring autumn season.

Shenyuan, the name recurred filling up the gap between his thoughts. Will he hate me too? He couldn't imagine.

He never thought that one day, his saviour would become his husband. The aura around him has become more imposing but he felt much secure dwelling in it. It was a bit melancholy that Shenyuan didn't seem to know him.
