Snow Is in the Forecast Tonight

Shen Mingyao died while trying to save someone. A wisp of his soul drifted into the Cangwu Continent and entered the body of a mortal.

He had no spiritual roots and no cultivation. Before him lay a desolate village, its people slaughtered.

The setting sun was like blood, corpses littered the ground, and he was the only survivor.

With revenge as his sole aim, Shen Mingyao had no choice but to enter a secret realm alone, searching for a chance to cultivate.

At the time, the divine sword Zhaoyebai was about to emerge. Cultivators from every direction flocked to the realm, and no one paid any attention to a frail mortal.

Months later, the secret realm opened. Ten thousand swords rang in unison as Shen Mingyao emerged with a sword in hand.

He was the master of Zhaoyebai.

Legend has it that after mending the heavens, Nuwa used the five-colored stones left over to forge five divine swords. When Cangwu faces its doom, the swords will choose their masters to meet the calamity.

Yet for centuries, Jichangfeng, Buranchen, Wanshanqing, and Yizhichun have vanished without a trace. Only Zhaoyebai has appeared frequently, yet its power has always seemed mediocre. People assumed the legend was false.

Only when Shen Mingyao fought his way from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm, and Zhaoyebai sang like a dragon in his hands, illuminating half the celestial city, did the truth dawn on them.

The legend had not been exaggerated. This sword had simply never truly chosen a master before.

With his enemies all slain, Shen Mingyao planned to roam freely across the four seas and see the mountains and rivers of strange lands. But at that very moment, Mount Tianshan began to collapse, and the Cangwu Continent was on the brink of ruin.

With a soft sigh, he had no choice but to set out in search of the masters of the other divine swords.

The remaining four swords soon appeared in succession. He fought alongside their four masters to slay the evil demons, then gave his life to become the pillar of heaven and guard Mount Tianshan.

His life had been one of great deeds and carefree triumphs, and could be said to have ended in perfect fulfillment.

*

He had supposedly given his life to become the pillar of heaven, but in truth, he only had to live on Mount Tianshan and could not leave. Repairing the world's barriers was the divine swords' job. Once the boundary walls were restored, they would naturally be able to leave.

Well, that was all right. Though he could not go out, Mount Tianshan was beautiful and quite suitable for living.

After finishing his work, Shen Mingyao was just about to lie down for a long sleep when several noisy voices suddenly sounded in his ears. He opened his eyes in confusion.

Well, would you look at that. He had transmigrated again.

He had returned to a time before the story began, two months before the village massacre.

Shen Mingyao did not understand why he had come back again.

In his previous life, as a mortal, he had been chosen by a divine sword and fought his way from the Lower Realm into the Upper Realm, becoming the undisputed strongest person in the world.

He then slew the evil demons and held up the pillar of heaven to save Cangwu. His name was known throughout the world, and everyone revered him.

His life had been tumultuous and extraordinary. Though he had some regrets along the way, he had never once regretted his choices.

Even looking back with all the experience he had gained, he could confidently say he had never taken a wrong step. No one else could have done better.

If there was anything he particularly wanted to change...

Shen Mingyao pondered. Could he not become the master of all five swords at once?

At the same time, four other people opened their eyes as well.

In their previous lives, they had done nothing to shame heaven, earth, or the people of the world. They had only one person to whom they owed a debt.

After that misunderstanding, Shen Mingyao had treated them with the same warmth and consideration as before. They had nearly believed it was all behind them.

But though he had forgiven them, they could not forgive themselves.

The people of Cangwu celebrated their bond as brothers who would live and die together. Only they knew how far short of perfect their relationship truly fell.

Heaven had granted them mercy and given them another chance. This time, they would leave no regrets behind.

Unfortunately, they knew little about Shen Mingyao's past, but that did not matter.

As fellow masters of divine swords, their meeting was fated.

P.S.

1. In short, this is a story about someone being reborn and not recognizing the person who once loved him, except Mingyao is the one who was once loved. Shen Mingyao had a tragic past despite being powerful and handsome in his previous life. This time, he won't suffer at all. It may get a little melodramatic, but the author will try to keep it serious.

2. Contains lots of scenes where the love interests regret their actions and try to win him back.
