Su Jinyue was reborn. In her previous life, she was treated as a quest reward for the player Su Liuli. Her spiritual root was ripped out, and her body was dumped in a forbidden zone. The last words she heard before dying were, “You’re all NPCs.” This time, she has returned with the Heavenly Dao’s antivirus program. She fights her way from the Founders’ Hall of Qingyun Sect to Taiyi Immortal City, the Far North Ice Sheet, and the interworld passage, reclaiming fragments, settling old scores, and restoring the Heavenly Dao. Her revenge never relies on tears or accusations, only the edge of her sword and the rules: she takes back with her own hands what was stolen from her, then passes it on to the next generation.
Lu Jie is her companion on this journey. Once the Heavenly Court’s Venerable Heaven-Calamity, he killed thirteen thousand bugs in the Heaven-Leak War a hundred thousand years ago, only to be betrayed by his best friend, Xie Chunshan. After the war, the Heavenly Dao sealed him in a forbidden zone behind the mountain. Su Jinyue used a demon-sealing lock to break his seal. From then on, he became her sword, her shield, and the only person she allowed close. He found a reason to keep living again, and at last got to tell Xie Chunshan, “Next life, the drinks are on me.” The starlight flowing through his body accompanied her through the entire journey of revenge and redemption.
The language is concise but not verbose, and the plot is full of twists and turns. Not bad, worth reading.
