A Second Life After Failing My Tribulation

After Failing His Tribulation: A Life Reborn is a story of cultivators, told through an ensemble cast. It follows Su Yan, a gifted cultivator who fails his ascension tribulation and falls back to the mortal world, searching for the true meaning of the Dao amid loss and renewal.

Once a prodigy of the immortal path, Su Yan faced the Nine Heavens' divine thunder tribulation beneath the gaze of countless spectators. But an unnoticed crack in his Dao heart and the “betrayal” of his closest friend, Mo Chen, led to his downfall.

Yet with a shattered body and a broken Dao heart, he fell into the mortal world, where people regarded him as a “cripple.”

At the darkest moment of his life, a simple, honest young man named A Shi appeared. He knew nothing of the immortal path, but his character was as steadfast as stone. He carried Su Yan out of the swamp of despair, offering him the plainest warmth and companionship. As Su Yan taught A Shi and learned to live again among ordinary people, his heart, once hardened by his pursuit of ultimate power, gradually began to warm. He slowly realized that the “heartless Great Dao” he had pursued might not be the only answer.

Yet the threads of fate had long been woven. When Mo Chen, now a formidable leader of the demonic path, came looking for him again, when clues to Lin Qingwan's reincarnated self emerged, and when the astonishing secret hidden within A Shi was revealed... old grudges and passions, along with the choices and bonds of the present, once again pushed Su Yan to a crossroads of fate.

This time, there would be no crowd watching, no divine thunder from the nine heavens. The tribulation he had to face was a far more perilous “heart tribulation.” With his closest friend now his sworn enemy, his former love as good as a stranger, and pure devotion reduced to a distant hope, what would Su Yan do
