A brain-off, feel-good power fantasy (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵)
Su Qingci is reborn, returning to the age of fifteen.
In her previous life, she was a prodigy of her sect. She gave her heart to the wrong person, only to be betrayed by her beloved senior brother and her fake-nice junior sister. Her soul was scattered at the Immortal-Slaying Terrace, and all her talent was destroyed.
Reborn, she conceals her brilliance and hides her innate spiritual physique, devoting herself to the Dao. She cultivates the sword, studies formations, and refines immortal pills, carefully planning every step as she takes down her enemies. In this life, all she wants is to walk the immortal path alone, beyond anyone's reach, with no one to bully her or hurt her with love.
At their first meeting in the Qingling Secret Realm, she plays the fool and hides her abilities, but a gentle immortal lord sees right through her.
Xie Yunlan is refined and otherworldly, with unfathomable cultivation. He seems detached and easygoing, yet when it comes to her, he is attentive and fiercely protective.
She coolly rebuffs the hypocrites, and he calmly sends the troublemakers packing. She plots to claim her opportunities, and he stays by her side without interfering.
“Senior, you've helped me so many times. I have no way to repay you.” The young woman speaks calmly, neither servile nor arrogant.
The white-robed immortal smiles gently, his voice clear as jade striking stone. “I protect you not for repayment. I only want you to walk your path in peace.”
At the sect's tournament, she hides her strength and serves up face-slapping while he watches with a faint smile. During her mortal-world trials, she outwits the wicked while he handles the aftermath. When she makes her way through the immortal realm, she establishes her own sect, and he walks beside her.
He understands her patience and ruthlessness, and trusts her intelligence and insight. He never makes demands or oversteps her boundaries.
Some people laugh that her mediocre talent makes her unworthy of the banished immortal lord.
Su Qingci lifts her eyes, her sword intent razor-sharp. “I will ascend to immortality on my own. Why should I bask in someone else's glory?”
Standing beside her, Xie Yunlan answers gently, “Qingci shines brighter than anyone. I am simply the one who walks beside her.”
No rivalry between women, no melodrama, no tortured romance. A lighthearted and heartwarming story from beginning to end.
She cultivates her supreme Dao, while he is her kindred spirit on the same path.
The male lead falls in love at first sight
"The Journey to Immortality" is a very interesting story about a female protagonist cultivating immortality. The heroine is sober and calm, not pretentious or romantic, she is devoted to the Tao, and she acts in an orderly manner, which is very relaxing to watch. The male protagonist is gentle and strong, silently guarding the whole process, not stealing the show or dominating, and only supporting at the critical moment. The two are evenly matched and go in both directions. The plot has a steady rhythm, a solid line of cultivating immortality, a satisfying slap in the face, a delicate but not greasy emotional line, and three-dimensional characters with tension. The more you read, the more you get hooked. It is an engaging and high-quality novel about a strong woman cultivating immortality.
