She is Su Luo, a goddess who fell in ancient times while repairing the Heavenly Dao. Her soul shattered and scattered across different small worlds, where it could slowly recover.
Xuan Heng, Su Luo’s cultivation partner, is an ancient deity who guards the Heavenly Realm! The Heavenly Dao has decreed that gods must not directly interfere with the workings of small worlds. If he forced his way in, he would not only bring those worlds crashing down, but his divine power would also overwhelm the goddess’s fragile soul and erase it completely.
So he severed half of his cultivation and turned it into the sword spirit of his life-bound divine sword, “Yuan-Slayer.” He sealed away most of its power and memories, transforming it into the System “Xiao San” (a reference to “three lives, three worlds”), and accompanied Su Luo on her journey~
He seems aloof and majestic on the outside, but inside he is hopelessly devoted to love. Every encounter in a small world is a clone he has painstakingly forged for himself. Watching the woman he loves fall in love with “himself” fills him with both comfort and immense heartache, making him the very model of “making myself jealous of myself” devotion.
And every world ends in tragedy! The Divine Lord is giving it everything he has to get them their happy ending at last.
Bonus scene: When the target’s legitimate younger sister gives her a hard time, the System Xiao San loses its temper:
“Host! She insulted you! How dare she insult you! Give her a piece of your mind! I stayed up all night downloading The Ultimate Guide to Household Feuds and The Art of Conversation. I’ll send them to you right now! Wait... why do they cost money? Esteemed Divine Lord, your System account balance is insufficient. Please top up promptly...”
Su Luo: “What good are you...”
This is an absolutely fantastic novel, the writing is superb!
