Peach Blossoms Are Hard to Hold On To

[One heroine, multiple male leads + all male leads are romantically inexperienced + cultivation]

Gu Yuanxi’s little face was smeared with soot, and her faded short shirt and trousers were caked with mud. She looked every bit the malnourished little beggar.

Only her bright, beady eyes darted around faster than anyone else’s, hiding a cleverness far beyond what you’d expect from a five-year-old. Who would have thought that this “little beggar” was actually a stunningly beautiful young girl? She disguised herself as a boy simply because she feared her face would bring trouble.

“Have you heard? That little beggar called Lin Wanxing in the west of the city was fighting someone for food again!”

“Lin Wanxing?”

Gu Yuanxi’s hand froze around the half a piece of cold, hard cornbread. Her heart gave a sudden thump.

That name… Why did it sound so familiar?

In her previous life, as an overworked corporate drone, her biggest dream was to escape overtime and the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Now the opportunity had landed right in her lap! Cultivation! It meant living for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The Demon Realm? The Joyful Heart Art? As long as I can live forever, what does it matter which cultivation path I follow?

We both wanted it, so how did I end up being the heartless one?

Don’t make things up. I never deceived anyone’s feelings. We only practiced dual cultivation!

You’re happy, I’m happy, everyone’s happy.
