Hua Qiangu: Reborn from the Ashes

The day Hua Qiangu was reduced to ashes, Bai Zihua finally understood what it meant to wish you were dead.

For a hundred years, he roamed the Six Realms, searching for a wisp of a soul that could not possibly exist.

Everyone said the immortal of Changliu had gone mad.

Until, in the distant Jiuzhou Continent, he found an orphan girl named Ajiu.

She remembered neither who she was, nor the power of the Demon God, nor the man who had killed her with his own hands.

She only looked up at him timidly and asked, “Who are you? Why are you crying?”

Bai Zihua looked at the broken jade on her wrist and rasped, “Gu, it’s your master.”

But Hua Qiangu tilted her head and smiled at him like a stranger. “What’s a master? Can you eat one?”

This time, there would be no master-disciple shackles and no duty to save the world.

He cast off his immortal nature and let go of his obsession, learning from the beginning how to love her as an equal.

But when the Demon God’s power awoke once more and calamity swept across the Six Realms again...

This time, she would stand in front of him.

“Bai Zihua, you protected everyone under heaven back then. Now, I’ll protect you.”

Version Two: A triumphant female-lead story, aimed at younger readers and new fans

When she woke, she was in a mass grave. Blood covered her, a broken piece of jade lay beside her, and her mind was a blank.

The people of Jiuzhou called her a harbinger of disaster. On full-moon nights, wherever she walked, flowers and grass would grow wildly, then wither and die.

Then a white-haired immortal found her in the snowstorm, his eyes red as he cried, “Gu.”

Only then did she learn that she had once been called Hua Qiangu...

That she had once sacrificed her flesh and blood for one man, then been reduced to ashes for the sake of the world.

But she had forgotten everyone who had risked their lives for her.

Then she would begin again.
