Spiritual Qi Revival: The Top-Tier Star Demon Came to Me to Repair the Barrier

Actor Xiao Linyuan is hailed across the internet as a top-tier star with a divine face. Cool and frail, he has taken medicine for years and keeps everyone at arm’s length. No one knows he isn’t mortal at all, but an ancient being stranded in the human world for ten years. A century-old pact is nearing its end, and the barriers between the two worlds are crumbling. The spiritual qi revival celebrated by the world is actually filthy energy leaking through the collapsing barrier. If left unchecked, it will bring catastrophe to the human realm. Corrupted by that energy, his meridians are steadily failing. His supply of pills is nearly gone, and his body and spirit could scatter at any moment. His only chance of survival is to find the fated key capable of stabilizing the barrier. After ten years of crossing mountains and rivers and searching through crowds, he finally found Xuan Xiying. With no family or support, she has been pushed to the brink by life. She works as an extra at Hengdian, struggling even to pay her rent. One morning, the untouchable top-tier star suddenly appeared at the door of her cheap hostel. He offered her a high-paying contract with room and board, asking only that she stay by his side. Xuan Xiying was wary, afraid she was walking into a trap. But she had no idea that she was the destiny he had sought for ten whole years, the only key to the barrier, and the sole salvation and obsession he had found in his mortal life. In public, he is the nation’s aloof, chaste, top-tier star. In private, he bears the safety of both worlds on his shoulders, shielding her beneath his wings as he falls deeper with every step.
