The Return of the Condor Heroes Fanfic: Reborn to Undo a Regret

Yang Guo × Guo Fu

Yang Guo had many regrets in his life.

After waiting bitterly for sixteen years, he finally reunited with Xiaolongnü and went into seclusion with her in the ancient tomb. Everyone said they were a pair of immortals. Yet amid the Jianghu’s rainy nights, his troubled heart could not find peace. Those searing memories, the flames atop the walls of Xiangyang, the love flowers’ poison in Passionless Valley, and the proud, vivid figure who always shone brightly in his recollections yet broke his heart, Guo Fu, had never truly faded away.

Only at the end of his life did he realize that some missed chances cut deeper than death.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Heroes’ Gathering at Dasheng Pass, the turning point of his life. He had just used his wits and courage to drive back the Golden Wheel Dharma King and was receiving the admiration of the crowd. Guo Jing publicly offered his daughter’s hand in marriage. Guo Fu stood beside him, her face flushed, while his “Aunt” Xiaolongnü stood quietly nearby.

In his previous life, he resolutely refused the match, ushering in decades of turmoil. Now, reborn with the power of foresight, he stood at the crossroads of fate. Would he repeat the past, clinging to an obsession that had become a habit, or face the flame in his heart that had never gone out, the one burning for someone else?

This story begins with that single thought upon his rebirth. Following the subtle threads woven through the original, we will see how the proud Condor Hero rekindles the affection he left behind, and how the willful Miss Guo comes to understand her own heart. The smoke of war over Xiangyang will take on an entirely new meaning.

This time, may they find a happy ending.

There will be out-of-character moments, and Xiaolongnü will be portrayed negatively. My writing is limited, and I may not be able to capture the Guo Fu and Yang Guo pairing as readers imagine it, so proceed with caution.
