[Strong heroine, younger man, one-on-one romance + melodramatic amnesia + mutual salvation + a touch of ensemble cast + lighthearted comedy]
(There are angsty parts! The male lead goes through hell trying to win her back!! They make up only a small portion.)
I, Shi Mi, am a top-tier star in the cultivation world.
On the day I ascended, everyone said I was the chosen one.
Only I knew the truth: I had lost my memories.
Only after ascending did I discover that the immortal realm was one giant pit.
There was no pay for the work, the missions were difficult, and if you failed to finish them, you got struck by lightning.
For other people, surviving tribulation and becoming an immortal was the peak of life. For me, it was workplace psychological manipulation.
But did that really stump me?
No pay? I'd earn my own.
Too difficult? I'd crush it in return.
They strike me with lightning? I'll strike back.
Even more absurdly, I had a childhood friend and junior fellow disciple who suddenly appeared, named Ruan Li.
I heard we had almost gotten together.
I heard I discovered one of his secrets.
I heard I turned around and promptly forgot him,
And then he went crazy.
Fine, then. Maybe I'd be better off not dating him.
But he kept clinging to me and came chasing after me again.
Losing my memories was one thing,
But how did my own brother become the Ghost King of the Netherworld, hating me to the core?
My senior brother became the Lord of the Netherworld's Endless Ashes, locked in a fight to the death with me.
And Ruan Li knew the whole truth, yet refused to say a single word.
What exactly had I forgotten?
Ruan Li, what are you hiding from me?
And that secret of yours... does it have something to do with me?
Shi Mi: Life is about starting over, starting over, and starting over again.
Ruan Li: Senior Sister, I'll pursue you, I'll pursue you, and I'll pursue you again!
