Awakening in Adversity

The Promise Heavier Than Mountains

Gu Zhao, the God of War from the Northern Border, and Princess Shen Zhaozhao of Great Chu made a vow of love in their youth. He once swore to her, "My promise to you is worth more than guarding all the mountains and rivers." But when enemies invade, the emperor orders Zhaozhao to marry the enemy prince for ten years of peace. Gu Zhao holds the imperial edict, torn between the country he's served half his life and the woman he loves to the bone. Just as Zhaozhao puts on her red wedding dress to leave secretly, Gu Zhao's iron cavalry crushes the snow in front of the palace. He lifts the carriage curtain, his voice hoarse like it's soaked in blood: "I've guarded mountains and rivers before, but this time, I'm guarding you."

Starry Night, Snowy Skies: Flower Wine for the New Year

On New Year's Eve, Su Wan of the alleyway tavern "Sui Shi" is polishing the third celadon cup—it's the "exclusive ritual" of old customer Uncle Chen: for ten years, every time the stars come out and snow falls, he'd drink three cups of perfectly warmed osmanthus wine and tell a story about "this day last year." But tonight, snowflakes are hitting the window ledge loudly, and Uncle Chen's old cotton shoes haven't crushed the snow prints at the alley entrance. Instead, a young man named Cheng Mo bursts in, wrapped in a dark blue coat, holding a bunch of wintersweet with snow, gasping, "My grandfather asked me to keep the appointment of three cups of wine." Just as he takes a sip of the third cup, Cheng Mo takes out a dog-eared diary: it turns out Uncle Chen passed away last autumn. Afraid Su Wan would be sad, he specifically asked his grandson to come instead—there's a yellowed note in the last page of the diary, written by Su Wan ten years ago: "When the snow stops, let's plant wintersweet at the tavern entrance." Just as the snow from the eave falls into the wine cup, Cheng Mo inserts the wintersweet into a rough ceramic vase and points outside with a smile: "Grandpa said, this year's snow is the reply letter from the wintersweet to you." Su Wan touches the fingerprint on the diary and suddenly sees that on the wintersweet petals, the snow water is reflecting the warm yellow light—turns out, saying farewell to the old isn't losing, but the old customer hiding unsaid words in old wine and new flowers.

I'm a God, Not a Dog! Stop Petting Me, Empress!

Ancient war god Yun Xuan exhausted his divine power to seal the demons and fell into Empress Su Wanwan's imperial garden. Su Wanwan saw his divine patterns, mistook him for a legendary "spirit dog," and immediately took him back to the palace as a "divine pet"—petting his hair daily, feeding him osmanthus cakes, and even putting a bow collar on the god! Yun Xuan was so angry (though he now looked like a teenager) that he was about to roar, "I'm a god, not a dog!" when Su Wanwan stuffed a candied date cake into his mouth. Trying to use magic to turn back into a dragon to prove himself, he instead turned into a chubby little puppy due to weak divine power, being rubbed by the empress until he whimpered. Worse still, the demon's residual soul was about to break the seal, and Yun Xuan had to regain his power quickly. But why did Su Wanwan's "god-petting" routine actually help him recover his divine power? When the god's dignity clashed with the empress's cuteness, this sweet and bickering farce between the "divine pet" and the empress had just begun...
