[Swords of Legends] How the Crown Prince Changqin Fell to Darkness

I just finished the college entrance exams and got released from my senior year of high school. During that year, I watched the Swords of Legends TV series by mooching off my classmates sitting around me.

I feel so sorry for the Music God who should have been lofty, gentle, and composed, and for the corrupted Ouyang Shaogong.

So I want to write a story and give him a different ending.

I really like this comment: "Many people judge Shaogong, deciding whether he was right or wrong. But no one could endure the loneliness of Crown Prince Changqin through countless lifetimes and remain sane."

Everyone wants to go on living. He has done many terrible things: taking lives to possess their bodies, the massacre that wiped out Wumengling Valley, Tusu's baleful energy, the plague in Qinchuan, the burnt corpses of Penglai...

A wrong is still a wrong. He took over bodies and killed people, but later he also saved lives. At least others can die, while he can barely find a moment's peace.

He isn't a good person. The sad thing is, he isn't entirely a bad person either, struggling through the cycle of reincarnation.

Deep down, he has always longed for warmth, but after betrayals in lifetime after lifetime, his heart has grown as cold as ice.

Ouyang Shaogong is a deeply conflicted person.

So I want to give him a girl: one he watches grow up, who considers him her closest friend; a girl who depends on him completely and returns to his side in every lifetime, through every cycle of reincarnation.

The female lead is an original character. The setting is an alternate world. She does not transmigrate and does not know Crown Prince Changqin's identity, so there won't be spoilers. Her values are sound, and she has a special identity [which may not be revealed until much later]. The ending is HE. For now, the plan is six lifetimes of love.

I watched the series in a hurry, after all, so please point out anything I've got wrong. Um, you can think of this as a crossover transmigration story, except the male and female leads are always on the same team.

Lastly, this is my first Swords of Legends fanfic, so please go easy on me.

There are lots of clues and foreshadowing, so be sure to read the background carefully!
