Brady Thornton, the immortal lord whom I secretly admired, was about to undergo Thunder Tribulation and ascend.
He, however, was willing to give up a promising immortal path just for an ordinary mortal woman, Edith Crosby, in exchange for a lifetime together with her.
But Edith clearly did not love Brady.
To assist Brady in ascending smoothly, I kept hidden the fact that Edith had remarried someone in the mortal world.
But after Brady successfully ascended, he removed my immortal bones and sentenced me to three thousand lashes, massacring all of my disciples as punishment.
My disciples struggled in misery that day, while Brady, standing across them, laughed cruelly, "It was because of you that I couldn't be with Edith in the past. I endured all kinds of humiliation because of you. You deserve all of this."
I was pushed into the fire of sins by him, and my soul was gone.
Waking up again, I found myself back to the time when Edith was about to get married in the mortal world.
This time, I no longer prevented Brady from descending to the mortal world.
Since Brady wanted to be with Edith, I would fulfill his wish. He would be Edith's husband!

The strong smell of blood on my nose had not yet dissipated when I opened my eyes and heard someone asking by my side.
"Lady Gilmore, should we inform Lord Thornton that Edith is going to get married in the mortal world?"
I lowered my eyes and the attendant handed me a lotus pink invitation.
I unfolded the invitation and found that there were no elaborate decorations, only the inscription "Eternal Blessings, Everlasting Joy" written in clear and powerful brushstrokes.

I calmed down and silently closed the invitation, saying lightly, "There is no time to waste. Inform Lord Thornton now."
"But Lady Gilmore, Lord Thornton is undergoing the Thunder Tribulation! Any slight mistake will lead to irreversible calamity!"
"Edith is Lord Thornton's beloved one. If Lord Thornton holds you accountable after his tribulation, can you bear this responsibility?"
Since I mentioned "responsibility," the attendant timidly held back from saying anything more.
"Alright, go ahead. If Lord Thornton gets to know about it, he will surely reward you. Keeping silent will only bring trouble for you."
I witnessed the attendant gradually walking away.
Precisely, keeping Brady in the dark would bring a disaster.

In my previous life, at the critical moment when Brady was undergoing the Thunder Tribulation, I concealed the news that Edith was about to get married in the mortal world.
After Brady had passed through the Thunder Tribulation, the first thing he did was to descend to the mortal world in search of Edith.
But the blink of an eye in the immortal world equaled a year in the mortal world.
When Brady me...
