Synopsis

(Content warnings: Zhang Qiling as a female love interest / accidentally entered if you're looking for Ping Xie / OOC / a self-indulgent dream-girl story)

Past and present lives / Redemption

For the first twenty years of Qi Yao's life, she was merely the king's prisoner and a test subject in the pursuit of immortality.

The King of Chu named her High Priestess, and the people called her a goddess. The irony was that she was imprisoned, confined to a tall tower, and had no control over her own life.

Then one day, Zhang Qiling appeared, and a sun came into her life to light her way.

He told her he would take her away.

Qi Yao gained her freedom, but he died before her eyes.

If freedom meant losing the only light in her life, then she would rather give it up.

Over the following hundred years, Qi Yao searched the world for arcane arts. She offered half her blood and paid the price of a thousand years of sleep in exchange for the chance to have him reborn.

A thousand years later, whether it's zongzi or members of the Wang family, anything that tries to hurt him will die.

“You've got the wrong person. I'm not him.”

The ember at Zhang Qiling's fingertips flickered in the darkness. His face was hidden in shadow, and his expression was impossible to read.

“Xiaoge, I could never mistake you for anyone else.”

They all say that every head of the Zhang family is named Zhang Qiling. They probably don't even know which Zhang Qiling they're calling out to.

But Qi Yao knows full well that the Zhang Qiling she loves has always been the man standing before her. There is only one, unique and irreplaceable, and she could never mistake him for someone else.

Many people may be named Zhang Qiling, but he's the only one she loves. No matter how many times life begins again, she'll recognize him at a glance.

(The early plot lays the groundwork for the romance, while the romance takes center stage in the middle and later parts.)

I've only watched a little bit, but I love it so much! 😢 The female lead is really strong; she and the male lead protect everyone and help them move forward. She's also very calm and composed. I've seen other original female leads in other works who are more lively, probably because the male lead is relatively quiet, so the female lead needs to talk more to break the ice.

It's well-written, the female lead blends in naturally, and the other characters aren't stereotypical. However, the female lead steals all the opportunities for the young man to bleed, and even uses her blood to save A-Ning, which might seem overly saintly to some. But it's alright; so far, it's watchable.

The character names are very faithful to the source material. I've read other novels before where the names were changed. Although the plot was slightly altered, it's still a very good read. I hope the author keeps updating! 👍👍💕

Not bad. This is my first time reading tomb raiding fan fiction. I've only seen a few relatively well-known TV series, so it's fairly beginner-friendly. I thought the scenes of the female lead and the young man from their past lives would be described in more detail, but they were only briefly mentioned, which is a pity, as I was quite looking forward to it.

I read another book by the same author first. The style is a bit different, but the female lead's personality is somewhat similar. Both are incredibly good. The author seems to be a pure fan of the series, as the character of Xiao Ge is very well portrayed, not out of character at all. It gives me the feeling that if Xiao Ge were to fall in love, this is how it would be!

This is so good! I hope the author doesn't stop updating! I've read several other authors' works that were quite good, but they all stopped updating. It's so rare to find another one I like, so please finish it! I'll keep following it! 💕💕💕

It's a really good book; the author is so talented! This is, in my opinion, the best book about Xiao Ge.

Still a five-star review! Both books are great, but I prefer "May You Be Peaceful and Loving" 😘

It's good, I love reading it, it's very well written. The author should write more novels featuring the male lead as a couple. I want to see the male lead have a happy ending.
