Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Princess Zijing left Peach Blossom Village almost the instant she realized she could leave.

She didn't even realize that Zhu Yanxiang was staring at her.

-----------

-----------

My name is Zhu Yanxiang, and I am twenty-nine years old.

I was born in the Zhu family of the Divine Marriage City in Iron Fan State of Shenzhou.

At the age of fifteen, on the day my natal artifact awakened, I awakened the Innate Emperor Cherry Nive, shocking the entire land.

In the same year, the "Artifact Lover" wedding dress line caught my eye.

[I became a "lover" in a miracle]

Although the entire Iron Fan State was thrown into extreme chaos the moment the lovers opened their eyes, it is said that the number of applications for Daoist partners received by the major holy sites in those days far exceeded that of the previous decades.

The birth rate has remained high for ten consecutive years.

【Innate Emperor - Cherry Neve】

[Adding to the miracle of the "lover," I naturally became one of the strongest direct descendants of the Zhu family in this generation.]

After hearing of my existence, even the legendary weapon refiner of the Zhu family, the "Sun Princess," sent me a congratulatory gift through her protector.

Countless prominent families from across China sent betrothal gifts that piled up at the door, almost overflowing.

My life has been fortunate.

My life has been the focus of everyone's attention.

Have I received attention and been "loved" by everyone?

"..."

Am I different from my past life?

Awakening in her boudoir.

With her long, wavy, peach-pink hair, the stunningly beautiful girl slowly opened her pink eyes.

After leaving the world of Peach Blossom Spring.

A slight ripple stirred in Zhu Yanxiang's heart.

It seems that Princess Zijing did not fall in love with him.

"Even that weapon refiner who was being watched by Obsidian couldn't help but steal a few glances at me...?"

Why is this happening?

Zhu Yanxiang bit her lip and pondered softly.

Actually...

Apart from the members of Peach Blossom Village, even no one in the Zhu family knew that in his previous life... he was also a weapon refiner born into the Zhu family of the Divine Marriage.

However, several eras ago, the Zhu family was not called the Divine Marriage Zhu family, but rather the Iron Fan Zhu family.

My past life was named Zhu Yurou.

I have a twin sister named Zhu Yumian.

[I, too, once awakened the innate divine artifact of a primordial emperor—Cherry Neve.]

[That's right, Cherry Neve is my destined emperor from a past life; we are fated to be together!]

Even though my sister and I share the same beauty, compared to my somewhat mediocre older sister who has only awakened a super-grade spiritual weapon, I, as the younger sister, possess the innate power of an emperor. I am more intelligent, gentler, more considerate, more sensible, and more popular with everyone…

Because of my appearance and personality, my status in the family is practically that of a princess.

But everything changed on that day.

Everything I owned has vanished.

No… just hearing the name Zhu Yumian should be enough for everyone to know what the future holds, right?

【my sister……】

[Zhu Yumian, she has been captivated by the Seven Wonders of the World: the Wedding Dress!!!]

Although wedding dresses weren't among the Seven Wonders of the World back then, they were already renowned as top-tier artifacts.

My sister became a miracle of "wedding dresses".

The entire nation was utterly shocked!

All the weapon refiners could only see that increasingly beautiful, increasingly magnificent, and increasingly terrifyingly powerful young girl.

She can fight emperors above the highest level, and demigods among emperors. Even other divine weapon refiners are no match for her.

From that day on, no one could see me anymore...

[Was it me? Did I disappear?]

No, it's not that people can't see me; it's just that my sister's presence is far too dazzling. In her presence, people can't even take their eyes off her, so how could they possibly notice someone as insignificant as me?

My sister's abilities are unimaginable; she has saved me countless times throughout her life...

However, I felt absolutely no gratitude towards her. I even wished she wouldn't save me, so I could be freed from my suffering sooner.

I will not rebel against her, I will not disobey her; because I am afraid, I am afraid that in her future records there will be not a single bad word about me, her younger sister. I do not want to be seen by the world as a wicked woman.

[To say I hate her would be an understatement; I don't consider myself that bad... Of course, it's also possible that I'm afraid to admit I hate her, so I mistakenly believe I don't?]

"..."

"..."

[Clearly, I also want to be seen by everyone, to be the center of attention, to be loved...]

But in the end, I can only become an ordinary demigod in the Zhu family... No one will celebrate for me, no one will be happy for me, because with my sister's existence, the Zhu family has become incredibly powerful and no longer needs a weak, ordinary, and unremarkable demigod.

I don't even have a title of my own.

Day after day, year after year, my presence grew weaker and weaker. The Zhu family's weapon refiners changed several times, but I could still hear news from time to time about where my sister had gone, which demigod she had defeated, and what spiritual weapon she had contracted.

But what does that have to do with me?

One day, I figured it out...

I left China when I was one hundred years old.

To escape my sister and never hear from her again, I left the Zhu family and went to a very distant realm where no one could find me.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, a jarring message reached my ears from the distant outside world.

[In the Iron Fan State of Shenzhou, the Zhu family's weapon refiner... the third-generation wedding dress miracle, Zhu Yumian, has repelled a divine weapon!!!]

[Artifact: Ice Crown - Fourth Messenger]

My sister single-handedly defeated the fourth messenger, who was a divine artifact...?

How can this be! ?

This news, destined to be recorded in the annals of history and only to be included in the epic poems of the Age of Gods, even reached this small realm where there were no emperors.

The entire land of China, across all realms, was shaken.

Zhu Yumian, the third-generation miracle of wedding dresses, is destined to become one of the strongest weapon refiners of this era.

And I am destined to be forgotten by the world.

Although I have the same beauty as her, the same background, and am even a little better than her.

even so……

Did the wedding dress still choose to gaze at her?

On that day, I finally understood that the object of my hatred all along was actually the magical wedding dress.

Whether it was a coincidence or destiny, I don't know.

Perhaps it sensed the hatred for someone who wanted a wedding dress that was exactly the same, or perhaps it sensed my obsession, my torment, my pain.

Decades later, I was finally noticed by the divine artifact!!

I became a "miracle!!!"

[However, the divine weapon watching me... is actually the Fourth Messenger, a divine weapon that also harbors a deep hatred for wedding dresses and Zhu Yumian!!]

As part of Icecrown Citadel, the Fourth Messenger possesses devastating power. Although not as famous as the Third Messenger, being under her watchful eye increases my strength by hundreds, even thousands of times.

[When she's looking at me...]

[This was the first time in my life, after seeing my sister being gazed upon in her wedding dress, that I strongly felt the feeling of being "loved."]

I will never forget that day...

However, as the fourth messenger looked at me, he made a request of me.

That is, to make me kill my sister with my own hands.

I agreed without even thinking about it...

My sister and the wedding dress are the targets of my hatred.

The fourth messenger, however, is a divine artifact that loves me.

[One year before the start of the countdown to the destruction of the Age of Gods, as the divine artifacts began to revive and the new era was about to begin.]

The Fourth Messenger's "miracle" descended upon the Iron Fan State of Shenzhou without warning!

In the first second, most of Iron Fan State was leveled.

[In the second second, the miracle of the wedding dress, Zhu Yumian takes on the challenge.]

[In the third second, a decisive battle between two top-tier demigods, both considered "miracles," is about to erupt.]

The battle ended one hour later.

Iron Fan State has disappeared from the world map.

[In Iron Fan State, countless demigods were affected, and all living beings below the emperor level were nearly wiped out. All the magical artifacts of demigod-level weapon refiners fell into slumber, and the Zhu family demigods could only helplessly fall into a long slumber, waiting for the revival of the new era.]

The Fourth Messenger's "miraculous" death in battle

The wedding dress's "miracle" was on its last breath; it had almost exhausted all its divine power.

At last……

Looking at me, barely alive, my sister showed an expression that was a mixture of pity, heartache, understanding, and joy.

She already understood everything.

For the sake of our past relationship.

I made one last request to her: do not reveal who the "miracle" of the Fourth Messenger was. Even on the verge of death, I, who had always longed to be loved, did not want to become an object of hatred for the world.

Sister, you've agreed.

Under her sorrowful gaze, I slowly closed my eyes, ending this tragic and laughable life.

"..."

This battle ultimately triggered the resurgence of numerous divine artifacts, sounding the clarion call for the destruction of this era.

The "miracle" of Icecrown Citadel, the Fourth Messenger, was also recorded in the epic poems of the Age of Gods. Unfortunately, no one knows her true identity.

When the next era begins, the wedding dress will replace the Cinnabar Fire, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and become the new Seven Wonders.

"..."

"..."

These were the stories Zhu Yanxiang discovered after she was reborn and read through mythological tales.

As for her past life, Zhu Yurou... was only briefly mentioned in historical records as a genius weapon refiner who had once awakened the innate emperor Cherry Niff.

After all, before she was noticed by the Fourth Messenger, she was just an ordinary Zhu family demigod.

Zhu Yanxiang sighed softly, "I personally destroyed Iron Fan Prefecture back then, but now I've become a direct descendant of the Zhu family again. It's truly a cruel twist of fate."
