The Jade Beauty Returns: A Fated Reunion Across Time

Time flowing backward + past and present lives + a heroine who grows over time

[This is an ensemble story set in a fictional world, told in the style of a historical romance, with a fairly brisk pace.]

The seasons change, and all things are born, age, sicken, and die. These have always been the unchanging laws of the world. Yet one day, the tides of fate turned, and the sun and moon gave way to a new sky. When the laws of time began to flow backward, the uncertainty of life and death brought sorrow and left people at a loss.

Ever since she grew old, Feng Hexun had felt there was no one in the world worth holding on to. Those who leave me behind cannot escape the sorrow of parting.

In this world, people live from old age back to childhood, and the seasons run from winter to spring. Legend says the gods punished the world, causing time to flow this way. The claim had never been proven, until she heard someone tell the story with her own ears.

But when she uncovered the secret behind it all, she found that it was nothing more than the inscrutable human heart, a scheme, and a moment of greed.

She would reverse time. After many trials and tribulations, she finally reached a time when things flowed in the proper order. Yet within that timeline, she also caught a glimpse of a different world. So that was what it was. That was what it meant.

She was a fleeting stroke in the rise and fall of history, yet in the end, she left a bold and lasting mark on her age.

Why did the laws of the world reverse? “Sir, do not cross the river. Sir, you have crossed the river.”

Just a few little ideas sparked by my imagination. I hope you enjoy them.
