Jin Guangming had carried his wife's lifeless body up to the Immortal Heaven. He had marched into the heaven court with 700,000 soldiers and was leading the army with his comrade Zhao Xuan.
His beautiful wife was dressed in a plain red hanfu that she wore on a regular basis. Zhao Xuan had came to see Lei Mengxiang a couple times, but they were good friends. Zhao Xuan was angered when the Jade Emperor had ordered her death. Zhao Xuan had thought of Lei Mengxiang as a little sister.
The army of 700,000 soldiers were in a massive array that had the heavenly soldiers confuzzled. They had been in dazed and were easy to defeat for the 700,000 soldiers. The heavens were not expecting this rebellion.
The Jade Emperor had favored The God of Light and Colors out of pity because he was born colorblind. Jin Guangming is technically a Prince of the Heavens but was the nephew of The Emperor. His mother was the emperor's sister and was a gorgeous princess of the Heavens, she was no goddess. She had be chosen to be goddess at birth. She was a normal immortal.
Marching into the Heavens court, the Jade Emperor had sat on his grand gold throne waiting for Jin Guangming to enter. The Jade Emperor knew that Jin Guangming wouldn't overthrow the Heavens. He was sure that he only brought 700,000 soldiers in to show that he was furious.
In the doorway, there stood the God of Light and Colors with his wife in his arms, dead. On his right side stood the God of Mischief, Zhao Xuan.
The man in his throne had only sighed, "Ming'er. I can't do anything about your mortal woman. She's already dead."
Jin Guangming already knew that she was dead. He knew that the Jade Emperor had power of the reviving and reincarnation. Jin Guangming wanted Lei Mengxiang to be revived but that would definitely cause an uproar in the heavenly court. Reviving a mere mortal was to outrageous these immortals.
"I know she's dead, but her soul is still crossing over to her next life. Isn't it possible for her to be revived? There's still a chance." Jin Guangming had pleaded sadly for his beloved wife. He knelt on the ground with his knees while holding the pale body.
The elderly Jade Emperor and sighed deeply and furred his eyebrows. "it's not that I don't want to help you it's because her soul had already reincarnated. You can't get her back."
Tears had streamed Jin Guangming's high cheekbones. Even Zhao Xuan had some tears welling up in his eyes that held sadness.
"Ming'er, you must understand that you aren't a high immortal yet. You have yet to experience the trails and then you able to interfere with the mortal's fate. This is why she had died." The Jade Emperor had to inform Jin Guangming. Jin Guangming realized that he had cause her death. He was struck with remorse and tears began pouring again.
Many Heavenly officials had marched in worrying for the Emperor's safety. They have gave the God of Light and Colors the look of pity and disgust for falling in love with a mortal. These officials had respected Jin Guangming, but him storming in heavenly grounds with intent of rebellion was unacceptable.
"This isn't some mere cursed mortal. This is my woman. She cared for wounds when I was injured. She had no parents to depend on for marriage. She didn't want to marry me because I am a god, she married me because I had a heart unlike you heartless immortals!" Jin Guangming screamed while holding his woman tight.
Jin Guangming had lived for 5,000 years and never once felt the need into taking a wife. He thought they were just another thing that wasn't necessary for immortals. However when he laid eyes on Lei Mengxiang, he knew he had something fated with that mortal. he was drawn in with red and left with red eyes.
The Jade Emperor couldn't leave Jin Guangming unpunished. If he did, the officials would criticize him for favoring his nephew for having illicit affairs with a mortal, but every immortal knew that he loved her.
"Jin Guangming. Take my decree. I punish The God of Light and Colors for 400 years, never visit the mortal realm and on house arrest." The Jade Emperor didn't want to say these last words. "He is to receive 150 lightning strikes for intent of rebellion."
Jin Guangming had lowered his head. "Nephew would oblige Imperial Uncle."
The God of Light and Colors and got off his knees and was still holding his wife in his arms. Zhao Xuan was indeed worried that Jin Guangming wouldn't be able to handle 150 lightning strikes!
Jin Guangming had faced the grand doors of the heavenly court and left with tearstained eyes. He hated these eyes. He only kept it because it belonged to his woman.

The few centuries that he was punished with had gone by quickly. He had taken 150 lightning strikes all at once and was barely hanging on a strand of life. After recuperating, he was sent straight to house arrest for 400 years. During these 400 years he had cultivated and became powerful.
His trail of becoming a high immortal was because of the lightning strikes. It had ended his fated attachments from the tragedy of Lei Mengxiang, but did not end fated emotions with her. His fate with this mortal was just a stage for him to become a high immortal.
He was finally released from house arrest and began to search for the reincarnation of Lei Mengxiang. Even Zhao Xuan began to help this lovesick puppy.
Now that he was a high immortal, he was able to love her with no obstacles in the way except for one.
He had to make her fall in love again.
