Ancestor, Please Get Down the Mountain with Some Dignity

The mystic world's founding ancestor comes down the mountain to find her fiancé. The whole mountain celebrates, and the entire city suffers.

Su Jiangli, a living legend of the mystic world, sacrificed herself a thousand years ago to save all living beings. Her soul was scattered, leaving behind only a wisp of a remnant soul to be reincarnated.

Eighteen years later, her master found her in the snow and raised her on the mountain. Mischievous and unruly, she made the ghosts on the mountain avoid her and the animals in the woods tremble at the sound of her footsteps. The ghosts in the mass grave asked themselves three times every day: Has that ancestor tormented us again today?

At last, her master told her, “It's time for you to go down the mountain and find your fiancé.”

The whole mountain erupted in celebration! The ghosts saw her off through their tears. “Have a good journey, Ancestor! Come back in a few hundred years!” The animals ran through the woods spreading the news: “That demon's finally gone!” Only her master, watching her cheerful figure disappear into the distance, silently felt a pang of worry for the mystic world of the capital.

Shen Yanqing, a powerful figure in the capital and the sickly young master of its foremost family, has disabled legs and a frail constitution, along with asthma and heart disease. Everything about him screams, “He won't survive past chapter three.” But purple qi blazes around him, and he naturally attracts demons and ghosts. A crowd of nonhuman creatures is constantly lurking around him.

Only he knows the truth: he isn't short-lived because of fate, but because he was punished. A thousand years ago, he defied Heaven and exhausted his power to preserve a wisp of a remnant soul. The price was to be reborn life after life with his memories intact, never meeting a good end, and suffering from illness and pain in every life.

He is waiting for her.

He has waited a thousand years, through ten reincarnations.

In this life, they finally meet.

She thinks she has come to “protect the weak.”

He smiles from his wheelchair and gives a weak cough. “
