The Aloof Emperor Always Wants to Rekindle Our Romance

[A cool, aloof Imperial Preceptor (Emperor) who is tender and doting toward his beloved × a calm, vengeful, overthinking transmigrator]

Gu Cilin had remembered a story in his mind ever since he was twenty, but he could never recall who had told it to him.

Then one day, after an unexpected car accident, he transmigrated and came face-to-face with the story’s protagonist: Nangong Ming, the white-haired Imperial Preceptor of the Yuan Kingdom.

In the story he remembered, Nangong Ming had originally been an Emperor in the Upper Divine Realm. He had come to the Yuan Kingdom to serve as Imperial Preceptor while undergoing a tribulation, aloof and noble, beyond all reproach.

But in the story, a rakish young lord took him by force, and he eventually died of sorrow. Even after his tribulation ended, less than ten years later, he tore out his own divine soul and fell into an eternal sleep.

Looking at Nangong Ming, his long white hair cascading down and his white robes spotless, Gu Cilin felt for the first time that he wanted to protect someone.

They lived together for half a year and grew to understand each other, but Gu Cilin did not understand love. He thought he was in love with a woman. In the end, that woman married someone else because of Nangong Ming, so Gu Cilin left Nangong Ming’s side for three years.

Three years later, after emerging from his cultivation in the snowy mountains, he learned that Nangong Ming had been forcibly taken as a bride and was about to meet the same fate as in the story.

Gu Cilin went to offer his congratulations out of spite, but when he saw the man’s vacant eyes, neither sad nor happy, he was suddenly consumed by remorse.

So, just as he had three years earlier, he rescued Nangong Ming. In the end, Nangong Ming returned to the Upper Divine Realm, while Gu Cilin nearly died, body and soul.

When they met again, Nangong Ming was the Emperor of the Upper Divine Realm, while Gu Cilin was the new Imperial Preceptor of the Yuan Kingdom and High Priest of the Ten Divine Mountains.

Yet Nangong Ming, with his memories sealed, still fell in love with Gu Cilin.

Gu Cilin never knew what Nangong Ming had done during those three years he spent cultivating in the snowy mountains after Gu Cilin left.

Nangong Ming had withdrawn from worldly affairs and lived in the mountains for three years.

“My darling, how could I ever bring myself to resent you?”
