**Beautiful in White** is an Ultimate Wizard quest released for the TW Bride 2021 event for the Taiwanese version of Crash Fever.

Some time after the events of Glory of the First Emperor, He Xiangu and Zhongli Quan finish repairs on Yue Lao's Enmusubi Temple. Yue Lao remarks that it was a smart idea to ask for help from a tech expert like Zhongli Quan, though Zhongli Quan asks if he's just trying to subtlety call him a NEET. Yue Lao assures him that isn't the case, and that his gratitude is genuine. Zhongli Quan remarks that this took about three months of work, and now all he wants to do is just stay in his room forever. He Xiangu comments that Lü Dongbin will just break down his door. Zhongli Quan points out that he got a fortification charm from Wufu Qiansui, so there isn't any chance of that happening. He Xiangu says that is a pretty smart idea, while laughing to herself since she knows that Lü Dongbin is already aware of and knows how to break the charm.

He Xiangu admits that she expected more people to be coming to Enmusubi Temple, and Yue Lao sighs. He explains that while people still do come to ask for advice on relationships, they don't seem that interested in marriage advice. Zhongli Quan says he isn't too surprised, given what mortals do. Yue Lao asks Zhongli Quan if he knows why people aren't getting into marriages lately, so Zhongli Quan brings out his table and shows a website to Yue Lao. The website has a lot of people referring to Fude Zhengshen as their "waifu", and he asks if that means "wife". He wonders when Fude got married, and when it was approved. Zhongli Quan clarifies that it's just a fan site, where fans call idols their "waifu" and regard them as their soulmates.

Zhongli Quan remarks that this is having a negative impact on society, and that something should be done about it, but He Xiangu interjects that it is actually because of economic problems rather than "waifu culture". She points out the current housing price issues. They argue for a bit about their theories, and Yue Lao just comments that the China Branch seems to be having quite a few problems right now. He Xiangu points out that it is actually a problem across the world, though Yue Lao just says it doesn't matter about the details.

Yue Lao asks what he can do to fix this, but a voice suddenly interrupts to say to not worry about it too much as Immortals are supposed to achieve the impossible. Cao Cao walks inside, prompting Yue Lao to ask who he is. Cao Cao just remarks that he is surprised that a man like himself is not as widely known throughout the Sages of Justice. Yue Lao asks him if he has an appointment, though Cao Cao points out that it doesn't matter since no one else is there. Zhongli Quan mentions that he knows who Cao Cao is, and people as arrogant as him are few and far between, though Cao Cao responds that he should be glad to witness such a thing.

Yue Lao asks Cao Cao if he came for a relationship match, while Zhongli Quan snidely comments that there would be no woman that would love Cao Cao. Yue Lao tries to use his system, but runs into a problem that confuses him. Zhongli Quan asks if it was that there was no results, but Yue Lao responds that it is actually the opposite case - Cao Cao has so many matches that the system couldn't handle it, and crashed. Zhongli Quan expresses his annoyance, considering he just fixed it, and goes to reboot it to make sure it was working right. When he sees that it was, Zhongli Quan just looks at it dumbfounded.

Cao Cao states that he never asked them to look it up. He explains that he came looking to see if a certain someone he desires would be a match for him. Yue Lao just says that he's looking in the wrong place, but he can at least try. Cao Cao writes down the name on a charm, and Yue Lao takes a look. Cao Cao asks what the result is, but Yue Lao just says that he can't tell - while he can see a red string tied to Cao Cao's finger, where it leads to can't be discerned; even a higher power would be unable to know. Cao Cao laughs, and says that that is good enough for him, as he is the master of his own destiny. He pays a large sum of bits as thanks, and reminds Yue Lao that people don't always come to Enmusubi Temple for answers, but rather the motivation to move forward. He then walks out.

Yue Lao remarks that Cao Cao was quite the interesting person, but Zhongli Quan just tells him to ignore him, as Cao Cao is a bit narcissistic. He Xiangu then gets an idea for something, mentioning that Cao Guojiu had worked with Cao Cao before, and is looking for a new project for her theme park. She states that this might be a good opportunity, and goes to call up Cao Guojiu. After a quick discussion, He Xiangu tells Yue Lao to get ready to go, much to his confusion.

Later, at Red Wall Amusement Park, Cao Guojiu mentions that they're almost done setting things up. Yue Lao comes out dressed in wedding attire, and asks what they think. Liu Bei remarks that she put a lot of effort into it, while Cao Guojiu says it looks good on him. Yue Lao thanks them, but points out that it is a little weird for an Eastern deity to do Western style ceremonies. Liu Bei asks him if he expects present day couples to wear traditional Chinese attire, though he just asks what is wrong with that. Liu Bei points out that people generally don't want to do traditional style weddings anymore, and Yue Lao admits that sometimes one needs to embrace new trends. He thanks her and He Xiangu for all of their help in setting this up.

Cao Guojiu then wonders about the musicians she hired, when Jing Ke and Gao Jianli arrive. Gao Jianli mentions that Zhang Liang was the one who invited them to come help. Liu Bei recognizes them as members of the anti-QIN alliance, and says that she is glad to meet them in person. Jing Ke recalls that Liu Bei was a member of SHU, and the three of them introduce each other. Liu Bei mentions that she would like to hear one of Gao Jianli's performances at some point, and Gao Jianli nervously says that it shouldn't be a problem. Liu Bei asks if it is OK for them to be out in public again, and Jing Ke assures her it is fine, since QIN has already collapsed.

Cao Guojiu introduces Jing Ke and Gao Jianli to Yue Lao, though he is a bit confused given that two girls were sent rather than a guy and a girl. Jing Ke admits that they were sent to help but weren't told what they would be helping out with, and Gao Jianli asks if they will be playing music for a wedding. Yue Lao is surprised that they don't know what the event is about, while Cao Guojiu explains that they are there to showcase their new wedding attire. She mentions that she also would like them to attend the popularity contest after getting some pictures.

Gao Jianli asks how they are supposed to do that, considering how they are both girls, and also the fact that her eyes are ruined. Cao Guojiu says that it would be interesting to have two girls instead of the usual bride and groom, and she also offers to do something about Gao Jianli's eyes with her Sage Arts. She uses one of them, and Gao Jianli takes off her headband, revealing perfectly intact eyes. Jing Ke remarks that it looks wonderful, though she asks if Gao Jianli is still unable to see. Gao Jianli nods, but says that she is happy even if it is an illusion. Jing Ke just says that she is happy if Gao Jianli is happy.

Jing Ke admits that she still doesn't fully understand how all of this is supposed to work, but Cao Guojiu tells her to not worry about it. She mentions that they can start with the outfits, which Liu Bei can help design. Liu Bei then tells the two of them to follow her so that she can measure them for their outfits. Cao Guojiu tells Yue Lao that she has an appointment to attend to, so she will leave the rest to Yue Lao to setup.

The next day, Liu Bei comes out to say that she finished the outfits after a long night of work. Yue Lao remarks that he saw the light on last night and presumed that it must have been her hard at work. He commends her work and offers a drink, which she happily accepts. Liu Bei then tells Jing Ke and Gao Jianli to come forth in their outfits, and the two do so. Yue Lao expresses his surprise at how good it looks, while the two girls admit that even they were surprised by how well it turned out. Liu Bei explains that she tried to go for the same feel as the costumes in a musical when designing the outfits. Yue Lao expresses his optimism for this project, and mentions that the photographers should be ready.

On the opening day, Yue Lao looks on in wonder at all of the people attending. Liu Bei wonders if Guan Yu has arrived yet, and mentions that a lot of people signed up for the contest. Several guests admire the posters of Jing Ke as groom and Gao Jianli as bride, and head to take a look at the wedding dress contest. On the backstage for the contest, Yue Lao tells Jing Ke and Gao Jianli that the contest will be beginning soon, and that the two of them will take part in the later part. Jing Ke assures him they will try their best, and asks Gao Jianli if she is feeling nervous. Gao Jianli insists that she will be fine, as performing on stage is normal for her. She smiles, prompting Jing Ke to comment on how rare that is. Gao Jianli just says that she has a feeling that something good will happen today, and Jing Ke agrees.

Elsewhere, Shu E and Guan Yu also prepare.

Yue Lao then appears on the stage, and announces the beginning of the contest. Various contestants give their performance, among them even Zheng Chenggong. Jing Ke and Gao Jianli take the stage together, and show off their outfits as well as performance. Yue Lao comes up to them, acting as an officiant, and asks Jing Ke and Gao Jianli if they will stay together until death do they part. Both of them agree, and Yue Lao pronounces them soulmates. The audience cheers for the two of them.

Backstage, Liu Bei tells them they had such a touching performance. Jing Ke just responds that they followed what they did in the movie that she showed them beforehand, though Gao Jianli says that something felt different this time compared to all of her previous performances. Yue Lao praises their performance, asking if they noticed the reaction of the audience. Gao Jianli just says that it was quite different from any wedding she knew of, and Yue Lao remarks that things went well regardless.

Yue Lao then mentions that he noticed most of the audience members who screamed in joy happened to be women. Liu Bei remarks that it was because of Jing Ke's charisma, and explains that the play she showed them had all the performers of the male roles played by women and were quite popular with women. Yue Lao admits he is still a bit confused, but everyone seems to be enjoying it so he is quite happy nonetheless.

Liu Bei then mentions that the results of the first part of the contest have been decided, and Jing Ke and Gao Jianli made it to the next round. Both of them express their happiness, and Yue Lao remarks that it doesn't come as a surprise given the audience's reaction. He then mentions that the semi-finals will likely be challenging, and Liu Bei mentions that there appears to be other very popular contestants. Gao Jianli asks if the Department of Ethics also joined, and Liu Bei says that there are several others besides just them. She mentions that she signed Guan Yu up as well.

Guan Yu then comes over with her dress in her hand, and tells Liu Bei that she doesn't want to wear it as it is too embarrassing. Liu Bei tells her that she can't take it off, and tries to encourage her to wear it. She tells Jing Ke and Gao Jianli that she will be busy for a bit, so the two of them will need to handle themselves.

The story is continued in Love Someone.
