[Light ensemble cast] [Power fantasy] [No romance] [Strong female lead]
Tan Li was exceptionally gifted and possessed a spiritual flame. Just as she reached the pinnacle of alchemy, her sect betrayed her, and they died together.
Reborn, Tan Li says she's staying far away from alchemy.
You've got to be kidding. Last life, alchemy got me struck by lightning. Why practice it again this time? Do I not want to live long?
After careful reflection, Tan Li chooses artifact crafting.
Artifact crafting is great. You can pull out a peerless spirit sword at a moment's notice, and if things go badly in a fight, you can always bring out a pile of treasures and win by sheer numbers.
Tan Li chooses a path utterly different from the one she followed in her previous life, and her fate quietly changes as well.
The biggest change is that alchemy made Tan Li rich, while artifact crafting only leaves her destitute.
Tan Li, clutching a broken bowl: “Could you spare me a little? I'll craft you a peerless sword later.”
Everyone scatters like birds and beasts.
Tan Li shakes her head helplessly and tosses aside the broken bowl.
“Then don't blame me for robbing you in broad daylight!”
Tan Li thought that coming back to life would let her change the ending of her previous life. But the tracks of fate still push her into the abyss.
Old acquaintances who vanished in this life, a mysterious person reborn alongside her, and the Divine Secrets Pavilion's unsolved mysteries of past and present lives.
Was Tan Li's second life a wondrous dream someone made for her, or a carefully laid scheme?
