Years Reversed is the forbidden art of the Huiyi Hall, capable of turning back time and bringing the dead back to life.
Those who practice it can survive death three times, but at the cost of arrested growth, reduced age, and a rapidly shortened lifespan.
As a business-minded sect, the Huiyi Hall deals in a vast range of pursuits, attracting all sorts of people and practices.
Xu Ye became head of the hall at sixteen. He purged the traitors and took charge of the whole operation. Ten years later, his appearance has not changed, to the amazement of outsiders.
At the martial arts tournament, the Western Regions' demon cult poisons the martial arts masters. The survivor, Chang Yuan, takes up the mantle of alliance leader, kills the cult leader, and assumes command of the martial world.
To the outside world, Xu Ye lies unconscious. In private, he turns into a child and clings to Chang Yuan's side.
Chang Yuan is socially anxious and withdrawn, and the first to run when trouble arises. But Xu Ye has no shame at all. For ten years, he has mooched food and drink and listened to flute music with Chang Yuan. By the time Xu Ye turns into a child, Chang Yuan is already used to having him around.
Neither of them knows what Years Reversed means for them. As Chang Yuan looks into the past, he discovers that he may share some blood with his enemy.
They look at each other and exclaim, “Wow, life.”
