That year, a swordsmanship prodigy emerged from the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
He formed his core at sixteen and became an Immortal Venerable at twenty-two.
A talent seen once in a thousand years, exceedingly rare.
But the prodigy relied on his gifts and recklessly did as he pleased.
Not only did his cultivation stagnate for decades, he also took to looking down his nose at everyone.
Then one day, the prodigy suddenly became kind, gentle, and polite.
My master is beautiful as ice and jade, peerless in all the world.
My master is ethereal and otherworldly, with unparalleled grace.
My master is the moon in the sky, the stars at night, snow in the air, ice in the river.
She is a ray of sunlight falling on people's hearts through the withered leaves of autumn.
Yet no one likes a master like her.
They must all be blind. Lucky me.
But I never thought my master would die, without a sound or a trace.
Yin Jianxi never thought he would die, either.
He had been just one step away from success.
When his soul was forced out of his body, he was so furious he almost turned into a ghost.
Oh, he was already a ghost.
Fine, so he was dead.
There were still things to do, even dead.
But he never expected his little disciple to go mad and leap into the fire pit.
He hurriedly came back to life, terrified.
As if he'd let just anyone take over his body!
Reading Guide
A secretly beloved, universally adored shou who has no feelings and takes no responsibility; lots of humiliating pursuit.
One-on-one, happy ending. Multiple perspectives, told through flashbacks. The gong is the main viewpoint character, and the shou is the focus of his memories. The shou appears fairly late, but not too late.
Both leads are morally gray. They'll do whatever it takes to achieve their goals and aren't traditional good people.
Theme: Someday, I'll ride the wind and break the waves, setting my cloud-white sail across the vast sea.
