Fics like a rock amidst stormy waters

Six months ago, a devastating qi deviation had ruined Shen Jiu's cultivation and with it, his chances of becoming peak lord. Now, his Shizun offered him an unexpected opportunity: Cang Qiong was seeking a marriage alliance with one of the sects of the other human realm, where Yunmeng Jiang's young sect leader was in dire straits and infamously unwed, to boot. As one last favor to repay Shen Jiu for years of service, he would ensure Shen Jiu was chosen as Cang Qiong's match. Marrying a leader instead of becoming one wasn't what Shen Jiu had worked so hard for, but if this was his last, best chance at securing a future for himself, he would damn well fight tooth and nail for it (and maybe, just maybe, his cultivation wouldn't be so broken at all by the standards of a realm where nobody ascended and immortality was the stuff of legends.) Jiang Cheng just wanted to get through one fucking date without fucking it up. Just once. Please.
