Mysterious Lotus Casebook: Li Lianhua, the Reincarnated Emperor Lord

Lotus Tower + Immortal Samsara + Hua Di + Yuan Di + two male leads + author-created settings Everything here is my own take: what if Emperor Yingyuan chose to sacrifice himself for the people of the Three Realms, and Yandan died with him for love? After they died and their souls vanished, peace returned to the Three Realms! Yu Mo couldn't accept that Yandan had simply died, so he went to plead with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. He kept pleading for five hundred years, until the Venerable was moved by Yu Mo's devotion and helped him bring Yandan back. But the part of her soul that loved Yingyuan was nowhere to be found, and she ended up with Yu Mo! (Sorry, I'm breaking up the CP. Please go easy on me!) Yingyuan didn't die when he faded away, either. Instead, he was reincarnated in the mortal realm to undergo tribulations, becoming Li Xiangyi. At first, he had no memories of Yingyuan, but they returned along with his powers after his battle with Di Feisheng in the East Sea! However, he had less than a tenth of his original power, not enough to return to the heavens, so he could only keep cultivating in the mortal realm, hoping to return to the heavens one day and find Yandan! But just as he completed ten years of cultivation and was about to attain perfection, he unexpectedly ran into Di Feisheng, who had just emerged from seclusion. To Yingyuan's astonishment, he sensed Yandan's aura on Di Feisheng... Li Lianhua (Yingyuan) stared in confusion at Di Feisheng in the distance. “Could it be... Yandan was reincarnated as a man??? Huh?” And so Emperor Yingyuan's plan to return to the heavens was put on hold. He stayed in the mortal realm to guide Di Feisheng through his tribulations. But he never imagined that Di Feisheng wasn't truly Yandan. By the time he found out, he'd already fallen in love with him, and there was no going back...
