Other people are reborn with a System. I was reborn with my ex.
He is Xie Jiuyuan, the man who found me in the First Heaven nine hundred years ago.
He is also the man who personally pushed me into the River of Forgetfulness nine hundred years later.
At least, that’s what I thought.
When I was reborn at the moment before my fall, a voice sounded in my head:
“Hi. I was reborn too. But I seem to be... stuck inside your head.”
He became my System.
His memories were incomplete, his tongue was sharp, and he was unreliable, yet damnably dependable at the critical moment.
“Go left. Wait, there’s a trap on the left. I just remembered.”
“Aren’t you a System? How can you get things wrong?!”
“I just finished loading. My functions haven’t updated yet. Do you think I want to be stuck in your head? This lousy place has terrible reception.”
I hated him. In my past life, he got me killed.
But time and again, he saved me at the brink of death, pushing his fractured memories to the point of collapse just to give me a warning.
“Why?” I asked him. “You were the reason I died in my past life. Why save me in this one?”
He was silent for a long time.
“What if I told you... I wasn’t the one who killed you in your past life? Would you believe me?”
What really happened in my past life?
Why would he rather give up reincarnation than remain stuck in my head?
The greatest secret of the Nine Heavens lies hidden in his shattered memories.
