In the blink of an eye, one may glimpse all of history; in an instant, one may reach across the four seas.
Climb a tower and gaze into the distance, toward the vast sky and earth.
Ten years ago, Qi Jing went from being a renowned scholar to a scourge of the immortal sects, reviled by all and ruined beyond redemption.
Ten years later, he wakes up. Once he walks out that door, will he become a wicked, flamboyant avenger!?
Revenge, punishing the scum, making everyone who hurt him pay with their lives!? (Struck through, of course not.)
He quietly pulled himself together, prepared to leave this illusory world and return to his hometown, only to be intercepted by someone who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Looking at the noble, aloof Sixth Highness before him, Qi Jing was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
Shen Tongfeng used to find him so annoying. Had he come to kick him while he was down now?
Later...
Shen Tongfeng: I seriously suspect you’ve got the wrong script!?
Qi Jing: Isn’t this supposed to be a revenge story where I fight monsters!??
Shen Tongfeng: Nonsense! This is a proper romance-and-cultivation story. Throw away the script you’re holding, and I’ll give you mine!
Qi Jing: No thanks! [fake smile.jpg]

“Though I saw through it all and lost my heart, I would still gladly relive the world for you, journey with you across mountains, rivers, and seas, and witness the rise and fall of the human heart.”
A few words from the author:
1. Shen Tongfeng has the romance script; Qi Jing has the monster-fighting script.
2. Younger man.
3. One-sided love.
4. Plot-focused, unconventional cultivation, with plenty of original worldbuilding.
5. The author is a novice writer; the whole thing is made up.
6. No transmigrating into a book, no rebirth, no System. A proper xianxia story.
