This is a slow-burn story with a strong female lead, no lovesick heroine, only beautiful, powerful, and tragic characters.
Many original additions, an original worldbuilding, reimagined villains, no Wangxian pairing, a completely new plot, and highly intelligent leads of both genders.
This is a niche work, so please don't read if it's not to your taste.
World setting: The Six Realms, cultivation.
Original heroine: Yi Xiwei. Portrait inspiration: Liu Yifei as Xiao Longnu.
Male lead: Wei Wuxian.
Synopsis from the male lead's perspective:
When Wei Ying first met her by the Caiyi River, he thought it was a chance encounter. In truth, she had approached him after careful planning.
A mysterious woman full of lies, an enigmatic past, and a world shrouded in illusions. Can he peel away the layers of fog and uncover the truth he seeks? What will he choose when their interests clash, or when their roles are completely reversed?
Synopsis from the female lead's perspective:
Yi Xiwei's life, viewed broadly, was ten thousand years of solitude, without love or desire. Viewed narrowly, it was a century of wandering, never knowing whether she would survive the next day.
On a whim, she rescued a young man and changed the course of his life, while also thrusting herself into the eye of the storm. Eventually, she understood that, rejected by the laws of Heaven, she could never be accepted by humans or demons, either. How can she survive in a human world that refuses to accept her? Can the feelings she has regained lead her down the right path?
The writing is very beautiful, and it captures the essence of Wei Wuxian, a smart and smart young man who fights against evil and supports the weak. The heroine is very powerful, but this life is too hard. Is this the final path to becoming a god? Very distressed. The writing is very good, the story is unique, and the characterization is superb. It's just that the middle is too twisty. All in all, it is a very good article. I hope the author will stick to it and become a great master one day.
Love it to death, highly recommend it, I really love this kind of writing.
Wow, Yi Xiwei, the name of the heroine sounds [stunned], the ghost will die as Zhen, the Xiwei will die as hope, the hope will die as Yi, and the Yi will die as Wei.
