[Danmei + cultivation + exclusive devotion + happy ending + reincarnation]
A proud, sharp-tongued, secretly tender beauty of a water ghost gong × a clever, sweet-faced, artful immortal shou
The Heavenly Court is raising Gu to combat the Witch-Gu Clan. But the Gu needs the purest possible vessel: the corpse of someone with no karma at all.
As luck would have it, Xiao Jinmo was just such a person. And as luck would have it, his damned father had offended someone from the Witch-Gu Clan. His whole family was slaughtered, and he was turned into the vessel, his true body sealed beneath a lake.
He thought that was absurd enough. But forty years into his life as a ghost, the person with whom he was destined to share a romantic tribulation and an immortal fate appeared. Worse, it was a foolish little boy who had once fallen into the water and been saved by him.
Xiao Jinmo: “Stop coming to see me.”
He Yi: “No!”
And so, for the next ten-odd years, Xiao Jinmo had an annoying companion. In time, he grew used to He Yi being around.
Who knew the first thing He Yi would do after coming of age was confess his feelings? To keep him from getting dragged down with him, Xiao Jinmo promptly made up an excuse:
“Become a ferryman and guide me through reincarnation, and I’ll say yes.”
It was something he’d said without thinking, but He Yi took it seriously. He overcame countless hardships and ordeals to become a high immortal. The only thing standing between him and becoming a Ferryman High God was one final step: his romantic tribulation.
But at just that moment, He Yi learned the truth about Xiao Jinmo’s origins and the things he had concealed from him while in the Witch-Gu Clan’s territory. In a fit of rage, he drew his sword on him. He was only angry and didn’t mean to do anything, but who could have guessed that Xiao Jinmo would run straight into it...
The good news: His true body was free. The bad news: The Gu King was awakened and then went missing.
Good looking 👍
