Love You Seven Times – Yang Chaoyue, Ding Yuxi

The Marriage Pavilion's young immortal, Xiangyun, had just auctioned the love story between the War God Chu Kong and the Dragon Clan Princess Yingshi with the Nuwa Stone. However, the Nuwa Stone was lost in the chaos caused by the Mo Luo Tribe's attack on the Heavenly Realm before it could warm up. Xiangyun was in danger but was saved by Chu Kong. A divine prophecy was delivered, foretelling the imminent rebirth of the Cang Hai Clan.

For the past thirty thousand years, Chu Kong had faced various tribulations, yet he hadn't been able to recover his original spiritual form, and the tribulation of love had yet to be experienced. The Divine Lord Haoxuan ordered the Marriage Pavilion to handle this matter. Xiangyun intended to use the ancient red thread to bind Yingshi and Chu Kong together, but due to an unexpected turn of events, she ended up being bound to Chu Kong instead. Chu Kong chased after Xiangyun to the "Turn Destiny Court," but at that moment, the Red Dust Well was malfunctioning, causing Xiangyun to accidentally fall in. With the binding effect of the red thread, Chu Kong was also pulled into the Red Dust Well.

Upon awakening, Xiangyun found herself transformed into a tiger, while Chu Kong had become a wild boar. She was greatly shocked and, at the same time, filled with extreme fear, afraid that Chu Kong would destroy her soul upon returning. She had no choice but to be courteous and try to survive. Chu Kong was helpless and had no way to deal with her.

he two returned to the Heavenly Realm. Chu Kong found that his primordial spirit had indeed somewhat recovered, and he named Xiangyun as his future partner in facing the tribulations. Xie Yingshi stormed into the marriage fate pavilion in anger, and Xiangyun had no choice but to promise that during her next tribulation, she would secretly arrange a connection between her and Chu Kong.

The Nuwa Stone fell into the hands of Jin Lian, and his true intention in attacking the Heavenly Realm was actually to take the heart of the Nuwa Stone and resurrect the former Emperor, Canghai. Xiangyun, bearing the memories of the immortal realm, transformed into the commander of the Forbidden Army, Song Xiangyun, while Chu Kong, due to Xiuming's mischief, drank the River of Oblivion's water and lost his memory, becoming the son of the general, Lu Changkong.

Xiangyun and Lu Changkong were betrothed from a young age, but Xiangyun had only fear for this arranged marriage. She worried that after facing the tribulations and returning to the heavens, Chu Kong, the God of War, would come looking for trouble, and Princess Yingshi might even seek her life. So, she tried various ways to dissolve the engagement, but without success.

As they grew older, Lu Changkong gradually developed feelings for the quirky and cute Song Xiangyun. When he reached adulthood and was about to embark on a journey to the borderlands to defend his homeland, he vowed that upon his return, he would marry Xiangyun. Xiangyun was quite anxious, but with Lu Changkong's departure, she could finally enjoy a carefree life without worry.

One day, Xiangyun saved a bookworm, who turned out to be the person sent down to the mortal world by Jin Lian, now taking the human form of the Nuwa Stone, Zi Hui. Xiangyun took Zi Hui as her ally. Two years later, Lu Changkong returned triumphant. He sought out Xiangyun, who had been avoiding him, hoping to marry her as soon as possible, while Xiangyun was even more eager to dissolve the engagement. Chu Kong and Xiangyun went shopping together, revealing a lavish spending attitude, and Lu Changkong surprisingly doted on her.

Xiangyun was helpless in the face of Lu Changkong's indulgence. She had Zi Hui pretend to predict that they would face a disaster together, but Lu Changkong paid no attention to it, believing that human determination could overcome fate. After yet another failure, Xiangyun arranged a fake assassin, aiming to confirm the predicted disaster, but unexpectedly encountered a real assassin. They were in danger, and it turned out that the illustrious military achievements of the Lu family had already aroused the Emperor and the second prince's suspicion.

Lu Changkong, in an attempt to save Xiangyun, got injured and collapsed, but he was saved in time by Xiuming. Xiangyun worried that once they returned to the heavenly realm, Chu Kong, the Immortal Lord, would sense that she carried memories from the mortal world, which would surely put her life at risk. So, she took great care of him and tried to make him remember the good times they had. On the other hand, Zi Hui held the portrait given by Xiangyun as he searched for Yingshi. Xiangyun visited Lu Changkong, who pretended to be sick to gain her attention. Meanwhile, Zi Hui was searching for Yingshi and found himself falling in love with her at first sight.

Lu Changkong was studying the romantic stories that Xiangyun loved, getting lost in dreams of their marriage. Meanwhile, Xiangyun had a similar dream, but in hers, she saw Chu Kong raising a sword to kill her. This dream woke her up abruptly, and she decided to quickly distance herself from Lu Changkong. Since she hadn't found Yingshi yet, Xiangyun decided to find a new wife for Lu Changkong. She specifically asked him what kind of girl he liked, but Lu Changkong took this as an opportunity to confess his true feelings. Xiangyun was somewhat moved by his sincerity.

On the other side, Lu Changkong invited Xiangyun to the lantern festival, and she decided that during the festival, she would arrange a meeting between Miss Xie and Lu Changkong. During the festival, due to a mix-up, Zi Hui mistook Yingshi for Miss Xie and sent her a message to meet Chu Kong.

When Xiangyun realized the mistake, she hurried to the meeting place, only to find that Lu Changkong had been waiting there. He confessed his feelings to Xiangyun and took her to the flower pavilion to see the carousel lanterns. Unexpectedly, Yingshi arrived for the appointment, and Xiangyun, in a state of emotional turmoil, fled from the scene. Yingshi was rejected by Lu Changkong, thinking that Xiangyun had intentionally made him look bad, and ordered her maidservant to push Xiangyun into the water.

After being saved, Lu Changkong assured Xiangyun that he would quickly handle his relationship with Yingshi. However, Xiangyun was worried that she might have offended Yingshi and that her life might be in danger. Xiuming, having been prevented from rescuing Xiangyun, no longer wanted to pretend to be weak and decided to compete for Xiangyun's affection.

Lu Liang opposed the Emperor's repairs to the sleeping palace, which drew the Emperor's dissatisfaction. However, Lu Liang believed that the Lu family were not the kind of people who feared death and were willing to sacrifice their own safety for the peace and stability of the nation, without regrets. During the horse competition, Lu Changkong's horse was tampered with, and he deliberately pretended to miss the target to conceal his true ability. Unexpectedly, the high platform was also sabotaged and fell. In order to save Xiangyun, Lu Changkong fired three arrows, revealing his true strength to the onlookers. The Crown Prince recommended Lu Changkong to become the Imperial Tutor for the Crown Prince.

At the matchmaking pavilion, the little fairy Xiangyun had just auctioned off the romantic connection between the war god Chu Kong and the dragon clan princess Yingshi using the Nuwa Stone. Unfortunately, the Nuwa Stone was lost in the chaos caused by the Mo Luo tribe's attack on the Heavenly Realm, and Xiangyun was in danger but was saved by Chu Kong. A divine oracle descended, predicting that Canghai would soon be reborn. Despite experiencing various tribulations over the past thirty thousand years, Chu Kong had yet to fully recover his primordial spirit, with the tribulation of love being the only one he hadn't experienced.

The God Emperor Haoxuan ordered the matchmaking pavilion to manage this matter. Xiangyun intended to use the ancient red thread to bind Yingshi and Chu Kong together, but due to a twist of fate, she ended up binding herself to Chu Kong. Chu Kong chased after Xiangyun to the "Turn of Fate" division, and at that moment, the "Red Dust Well" was malfunctioning. Xiangyun accidentally fell into it, and due to the binding of the red thread, Chu Kong was also pulled into the "Red Dust Well."

When Xiangyun woke up, she found herself turned into a tiger, and Chu Kong had become a wild boar. She was shocked and terrified, fearing that Chu Kong might destroy her soul when he returned. She had no choice but to try to please him in order to save her own life, leaving Chu Kong with no other options.

Xiu Ming worked behind the scenes to stir up trouble, and the emperor had no choice but to appoint Lu Changkong as the new Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince. However, this also resulted in the withdrawal of military power from the Lu family. Xiangyun gradually realized the seriousness of the situation. In order to protect Xiangyun, Lu Changkong decided to break off the engagement. He sensed that his father was hiding something.

Xiangyun's feelings for Lu Changkong were revealed by a maid, and she finally confronted her own feelings. She recalled the moments between her and Lu Changkong and realized that she had fallen in love with him. Lu Changkong discovered a loophole in the military fund of the Lu residence. He decided to stay and face the challenges alongside his family. He had been avoiding seeing Xiangyun to protect her and had proposed breaking off the engagement.

Xiu Ming suggested that he could help Xiangyun cancel the engagement with Lu Changkong. Upon hearing the news of trouble in the Lu family, Xiangyun worried that Lu Changkong might sneak into the Lu residence. However, Lu Changkong handed the divorce letter to Xiangyun. She understood that Lu Changkong did it to protect her and deliberately pushed her away, so she tore the divorce letter to pieces.

Xiu Ming proposed that Song Qinwen lead the troops to raid the Lu Liang residence, killing two birds with one stone. This plan also won him the emperor's approval. Faced with the imperial decree, Song Qinwen felt helpless but had no choice but to lead the troops to the Lu family's residence. Initially, the emperor secretly allocated funds to Lu Liang to appease the flood victims. Now, in a sudden reversal of fortune, the emperor used this matter to bring about the downfall of the Lu family.

Lu Liang asked Lu Changkong to find the deputy general to retrieve the true imperial decree. However, Lu Changkong discovered that there was no real imperial decree; it was just an excuse his father used to deliberately send him away. He understood his father's intention to protect him and immediately returned home to rescue his father. In a critical moment, Xiangyun saved the injured Lu Changkong, and Song Qinwen let the two of them go free.

The power in the capital gradually fell into the hands of Xiuming. Yingshi, in order to avoid causing trouble for Zihui, left alone, but in the exchanges between the two, they had already developed feelings for each other. Xiangyun took good care of the injured Lu Changkong along the way. On the other side, in the palace, Xiuming administered medicine to the emperor, gradually gaining control of the political power.

Lu Changkong, not wanting to burden Xiangyun, wanted to leave alone, but Xiangyun closely followed him. She understood that Lu Changkong was trying to spare her from trouble. Xiangyun and Lu Changkong stayed at an inn, but their funds were insufficient, so they could only afford one room. To pay the room fee, Lu Changkong had to sell his own sword, fearing that he couldn't provide a future for Xiangyun.

At this time, Xiuming sent someone to find Xiangyun and told her that her father, Song Qinwen, was in trouble. Xiangyun understood that despite her own trials, genuine family ties and warmth still touched her heart. She decided to return to the capital to save her father. At night, Lu Changkong gave a hairpin as a token of their engagement, and the two privately pledged to be together for life.

Xiangyun initially planned to leave quietly, but she discovered a note from Lu Changkong, wishing her a safe journey. It turned out that Lu Changkong had known about her decision and supported it all along, warming Xiangyun's heart. Xiangyun redeemed Lu Changkong's sword and used a batch of fine horses as her dowry.

Lu Changkong arrived at the border to join forces with his uncle. They decided to return to the capital and eliminate the tyrant Wang Ding Shanhe. Xiangyun returned to the Song residence and found it desolate. Xiuming offered to help Xiangyun by proposing a fake marriage, allowing her to become his wife in name to protect the Song family. Xiangyun agreed to the marriage proposal for the sake of the Song family. Xiuming announced this to the world, deliberately spreading the news to the border.

When Lu Changkong received the news, he faced a dilemma: if he returned to the capital for Xiangyun, the dam would break, causing countless casualties among the Lu family's army and downstream civilians. Xiuming was forcing him to choose between the world and Xiangyun. Xiuming's plan to divert attention and transport gunpowder was discovered by Lu Changkong. The army sent to transport the gunpowder was completely defeated.

In the imperial city, Xiuming asked Xiangyun for a sachet. The maidservant told Xiangyun that Xiuming was allergic to fragrances. Xiangyun suddenly realized that Xiuming had intentions toward her, but she also unexpectedly learned that the annihilation of the Lu family and the hardships faced by the Song family were all calculated by Xiuming, with the goal of obtaining Xiangyun.
