Encountering an Immortal

Romance, cultivation, revenge, with a strong female lead. A white moonlight's substitute, a broken relationship rekindled, childhood friends, a beloved by all, and a jumble of every trope imaginable. Both leads are each other's only one. Gu Zixuan, the eldest son of Heartless Island, travels alone to the northwest to save his missing twin sister, Shangguan Bai, and attend the birthday celebration of Chen Changle, the new lord of Painted Stone Tower. But he runs into danger and is rescued by A-Si, a low-ranking member of Painted Stone Tower. Chen A-Si is cold, ugly, and secretive, yet he indulges Gu Zixuan at every turn, giving him his whole heart. But the hardest thing to resist in this world is love that asks for nothing in return. Despite all his defenses, Gu Zixuan can't help falling for him a little. Just as Gu Zixuan, who is already engaged, begins to wonder whether he should break off the engagement, someone suddenly tells him, "Young Master Gu, you look remarkably like someone I once knew." Gu Zixuan understands everything at last, and even feels the urge to ruin his own face. There is no such thing as love without a reason. The human heart is hard to fathom, the world is vast, and nothing ever stays the same. Who can predict what tomorrow will bring? Better to go with the flow, take things as they come, and enjoy today's wine today. A sequel to The Orchid Pavilion, now with a cultivation setting. I love Yan Bailu so much that I have to write this story, one way or another. Theme: Of a thousand roads, every direction leads to you.
