Slay the Gods: The Eternal Night's Cycle

[Slay the Gods, 1v1 romance + Shen Qingzhu pairing + two powerful leads + Lin Qiye's younger sister]

The cycle of reincarnation repeats without end. A thousand-year game of chess plays out again and again, mist and fate intertwined through the ages, while everything remains forever trapped at its beginning.

A thousand cycles of reincarnation are all illusions. Only when the awaited miracle returns to its place can the game begin.

Day after day, Azathoth erodes Lin Qiye's consciousness. At the end of every cycle, he must fall alone into the next ordeal.

The parasol tree in the Gods' Psychiatric Hospital gave up its chance to transcend its plant nature. It wound its entire root system around the scattered fragments of Lin Qiye's cosmic soul, willingly trapping itself in the endless torrent of reincarnation.

Its only obsession is saving him.

As the years pass, the ancient tree sheds its original form and becomes a girl, staying by Lin Qiye's side as his younger sister.

She has forgotten everything about the past, mistaking the instinct to protect him that grew over countless millennia for the sibling affection she was born with.

Shen Qingzhu is also trapped in reincarnation, his memories wiped clean in every life.

The young man is carefree and defiant, distant and cold toward everyone else. Only when he meets Lin Mutong is he different.

Before they ever enter the Night's Watch training camp together, the two already cross paths often.

He never openly expresses his feelings. He simply makes a habit of protecting her, naturally seeks her out when he has free time, and lets indulgence show in his eyes. Within the bounds they keep, their relationship is thick with unspoken tension.

She doesn't know her source stretches back through the ages, and he can't explain why he makes an exception for her alone.

Only when the gods' game reaches its final chapter and buried memories begin to awaken do they realize: their tender care for each other was a foreshadowing of fate, and their instinct to stand side by side was the warmth left over from a past life.
