After Sharing Senses with the Chosen One

Mu Liuying was cursed in the womb. Every full moon, she has to endure pain that gnaws at her bones.

At sixteen, after both her parents died, she left home and went up the mountain to seek a way to break the curse.

The journey to find a cure was arduous. She ate grass and drank dew, chewed tree bark, and slept on the streets, but never once thought of giving up.

*

Qi Xiaoge is the most talented disciple in the immortal sect. Unfortunately, despite his great talent, he has no desires or ambitions, and his cultivation has never advanced.

To force him to break through, his master cast a spell to connect his senses with those of the most driven person in the world.

Once the connection was made, he could not break through until it was severed.

*

From then on, every full moon, Qi Xiaoge endured pain that gnawed at his bones. He experienced every kind of cold and warmth, hunger and fullness, joy and sorrow.

At last, he couldn’t take it anymore and roared, “Whose senses am I connected to? Did this person break the laws of heaven and get sentenced to the eighteenth level of hell?”

He swore he would find this person. They wanted something badly? He would give them everything they wanted.

*

At some point, Mu Liuying suddenly began to feel like giving up. Everything in the world seemed pointless, and for a while she even thought of giving up on life.

She shook her head and drove the thought away.

She was doing her best to climb the mountain and seek a renowned healer, when she ran into a handsome young man along the way.

*

The young man was so strange. For no reason at all, he bought her clothes, gave her delicious food, and did everything he could to find a way to break her curse.

She took him for an immortal.

Once everything was done, he asked, “Is there any wish of yours that still hasn’t come true?” Mu Liuying blushed and whispered, “I wish to find a good match and stay together until our hair turns white.”

The young man said, “Easy. I know plenty of good men.”

*

One after another, good men came into Mu Liuying’s life, but none of them was her destined partner.

Qi Xiaoge grew frantic. If this went on, he would never break through.

He returned to his sect to ask his master how to undo the connection.

His master said, “Silly child, the connection was severed long ago. It’s your own unresolved obsession that’s holding you back.”
