Maze of Enchantment

Shen Xiyin’s husband, gravely injured while slaying a demon, was left unable to sire heirs. As the head of his sect, he could not bear the thought of leaving no successor, nor could he allow outsiders to discover this shameful secret. To preserve his reputation, he schemed for Shen Xiyin to secretly bear a child by another man—an “heir” to be claimed as his own. Thus, he cast her into the Maze of Enchantment. Inside the maze, Shen Xiyin is not alone. Another man is trapped with her. To escape, the two must endure forty-nine trials of intimacy—step by step—or face utter annihilation. That man looks familiar. He is none other than the revered elder her husband most admires: aloof, immaculate, a paragon of virtue in the immortal sects, admired by all yet unattainable. Just yesterday, Shen Xiyin accidentally spilled wine on him. He didn’t even glance down, only replied with distant courtesy: “It’s fine.” Such indifference—so typical of the lofty treating the lowborn—is something Shen Xiyin knows all too well. But in the maze, the prompts keep sounding: – First trial: Draw close, learn each other’s scent. – Second trial: Interlace fingers, feel each other’s warmth. – Next trial: Kiss deeply… Shen Xiyin knows this cannot be. She and the man try to find another way to break the formation. Yet at that moment, the fertility pill her husband secretly planted in her body begins to take effect. Pairing: Dutiful, rule-bound person × Stern, ascetic sect master Notes: 1. Heroine is not the hero’s first partner, but the romance and ending are strictly 1v1. 2. Fantasy setting, not realistic. The ex-husband never registered the marriage, so at the time of the story, he and Shen Xiyin are not legally wed. No unhealthy guidance implied.
