Li Zhulu accidentally transmigrated into the desperate battleground of Jian Wang 3, a game he had quit three years ago.
The good news was that he still had the unyielding swordsman's spirit of "Taixu Sword Intent". He'd die before switching to the Qi School's skills!
The bad news was that his treacherous ex, Pei Yunyi, had transmigrated too.
Pei Yunyi had taken over his game character and ID, but seemed to have lost his memory. He couldn't remember anything about their past.
"The account owner's taste is awful. How am I supposed to make a name for myself dressed like this?"
"This skill set is so weak. How am I supposed to fight my way out?"
Right in front of him, the man switched to the Qi School's "Zixia Skill"!
The steadfast principles he'd upheld for years shattered into pieces...
Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!
He whipped out his sword and raised an eyebrow. "Got the guts to fight me twice?"
Pei Yunyi froze.

"This is Longmen Desert, a timed survival challenge. You have to lead us out of this hellhole alive!"
Man-eating snakes, deranged passersby with orange weapons, and a full squad of them...
With enemies on all sides and trouble within, Li Zhulu put aside his personal grudges for the moment, rallied the team against their common foes, and led them to an incredible escape!
But as soon as they got out of the desert, they turned around and stepped into the Cangming Desperate Zone.
Surviving on a deserted island? Fine...
He once again turned the tide and barely managed to take down a giant octopus monster.
But the moment they got out, they fell into the Tianyuan Desperate Zone.
Faced with giant deep-sea sharks and rules that were bizarre beyond belief...
Li Zhulu couldn't take it anymore. "What the hell? Who wrote this buggy system? Are you messing with me?!"
System: [Yellow Chicken laughing] [Yellow Chicken laughing] [Yellow Chicken laughing] Too bad for you, you just weren't lucky enough to meet me in the deciding round!
Li Zhulu: "..."

Later, he learned that Pei Yunyi wasn't treacherous.
He had waited for him for five years, stayed by his side for three years after they broke up, and watched him rise to glory step by step...
Then he turned and walked into the darkness, carrying a ruined reputation as he descended into hell.
Li Zhulu slammed him against a stone wall, eyes wild and breath burning hot.
"Pei Yunyi, do you think you're some kind of hero?"
"Whether it takes five years or ten, even if I have to cross a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, I'll find you."
Pei Yunyi buried his face in Li Zhulu's shoulder, tears and kisses falling together.
