[Past and present lives + xianxia romance + fantasy romance + unconventional cultivation] Immortality is the curse he has borne for nine lifetimes, and waiting is his only salvation. Yun Che, the greatest immortal in the cultivation world in ten thousand years, cultivates the path through love and pursues eternal life, all to guard one person through her cycle of reincarnation. In her ninth life, she finally returns, but she is dressed in a phoenix crown and bridal robes, smiling like a flower as she takes another man's arm. That day, the immortal destroyed his own Dao foundation, blood staining the Gate of Heaven, and the immortal realm trembled.
Yet the collapse revealed only the edge of a thousand-year conspiracy. Her nine lifetimes of reincarnation were, in fact, the Immortal Alliance's “Dust-Cutting Experiment.” His devoted protection was nothing more than an observation record. Beyond the Gate of Heaven lay a sacrificial scheme devised by the immortal realm to prolong its own existence: they were all offerings for the creation of the “Eternal Life Dao Seed.” With his Dao foundation destroyed, Yun Che begins his quest as a fragment of his former soul, while Su Jiuli, her memories awakened, resists alone amid a web of lies. Nine seals conceal the key to overturning the world, and the resonance of a thousand souls reveals the greatest lie of the Three Realms: so-called ascension is really betrayal, an escape to a higher world; so-called eternal life is nothing but a carefully designed cage.
When the truth cuts through the obsessions of nine lifetimes, they face their final choice: should they fulfill their private love and stay together forever, or offer themselves as the spark that wins a new era without sacrifice for all the worlds?
“I dare not ask for eternal life. I only hope to see you in every lifetime.” This is a female-oriented xianxia novel with tragic romance as its flesh and blood, unconventional storytelling as its backbone, and epic redemption as its soul. Wrapped in an intense romantic tragedy, it explores power, institutions, and human nature in depth, ultimately turning toward a grand salvation that transcends personal love.
