[A story where the love interest changes] [Happy ending, the leads fall in love]
Jiang Huaiji transmigrated, and on his very first day he had to take someone else’s place in a marriage to a man.
He’d heard the man was much older, so he was a little apprehensive.
But the moment he saw Nan Xianchi, his heart skipped a beat.
He knew he’d fallen in love with Nan Xianchi at first sight.
He figured he was probably going to be in Nan Xianchi’s hands for the rest of his life.
Nan Xianchi had never been in a relationship, so Jiang Huaiji gently but determinedly barged into his world.
He wanted to be Nan Xianchi’s lover and family.
Later, they fell in love and were devoted to each other. But then someone told him that he wasn’t Nan Xianchi’s fated partner, and that they would inevitably part one day.
Jiang Huaiji didn’t believe it at first.
But eventually, he had no choice but to leave for a year. A year in the human world was a hundred years in the cultivation world.
When he returned a century later, Nan Xianchi had forgotten him. A woman Jiang Huaiji didn’t know stood by his side, said to be the only disciple Nan Xianchi had ever taken. The two had also spent decades together.
Jiang Huaiji tried to make Nan Xianchi remember, but failed every time. His heart grew colder with each attempt until he understood: Nan Xianchi truly didn’t remember him.
He didn’t remember their past, or that they had once loved each other.
To retrieve the wisp of soul that held Nan Xianchi’s memories, Jiang Huaiji went to the Demon Lord Qi Ling.
Qi Ling treated him well. He had Nan Xianchi’s memories, and because of that, he loved Jiang Huaiji. But Jiang Huaiji only wanted the wisp of soul to return to Nan Xianchi’s body.
Qi Ling said, “But Aji, I’m not Nan Xianchi. I’m Qi Ling.”
Still, he understood that the person Jiang Huaiji had always loved was Nan Xianchi.
He wanted to leave Jiang Huaiji with a few memories that belonged to the two of them, so Jiang Huaiji would remember that Qi Ling had once been part of his life.
When that wisp of soul returns, will what remains be love or hatred?
