On the day my husband ascended to immortality, a shaft of divine light struck me in the eyes.
From that moment on, I was blind.
The light coursed through my body day after day.
The pain left me unable to hold my chopsticks or even walk.
Every breath felt like needles piercing me.
Only later did I learn the truth.
My husband’s junior martial sister resented me for being his mortal love trial, so she had decided to teach me a lesson.
My husband knew exactly what she had done, yet he gathered her into his arms and sighed indulgently.
“How could you be so willful?”
“You must never do this again.”
“And in three years, you will lift the spell from her.”
His junior sister threw herself happily into his embrace and declared that he was the best senior brother in the world.
My heart felt carved apart, but my eyes were so dry I could not shed a single tear.
Once, I had still held out hope for my husband.
I had thought he did not know.
It turned out he knew everything.
He had simply chosen her and abandoned me.
Later, I ascended too.
On my first day in the immortal realm, I borrowed the power of the welcoming light and destroyed his junior sister’s eyes.
