After transmigrating into the world of Eternal Tribulation, Lin Chen has just one simple wish: to survive and make it home.
To do that, he has no choice but to latch onto the sect’s strongest backer, Gu Qinghan, the aloof and solitary Sword Venerable whose power is beyond measure. Using his modern knowledge, he helps her decipher one ancient riddle after another, each tied to life and death.
He resolves the backlash from her cultivation technique, comes to understand her lonely past, and becomes the one exception in her otherwise ice-cold life.
He thinks it’s just a transaction, a matter of survival.
Until Heaven’s Dao collapses and their old enemy arrives. She burns through her divine soul to shield him.
On the brink of death, she seems to melt like ice and gives him a smile so fragile it nearly breaks. “Now... I don’t owe you anything anymore.”
Lin Chen wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth and tears up the map of the coordinates home that he had treasured all this time.
“The deal is over, Gu Qinghan.”
“Now I’m going to start pursuing my wife.”
Knowledge is his weapon, and love is the most unreasonable law he rewrites for her.
