[Jian Wang 3 + Soul Land] The Right Way to Play the Zither

To keep the story from falling apart, there are a mountain of additions to canon. Most of them will be explained later, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing. The story as a whole is undergoing a major rewrite. If you see a section marked as revised, that means I've updated it. The rewrite currently goes through Chapter 30, "The Purple Butterfly" (manually highlighted! Don't read beyond this point or the plot won't make sense!). The revised chapters may look completely different from the originals. I just made a small edit to the earlier chapters because question marks kept failing to display. I was practically ready to turn into a question mark myself, sob.

Yang Mingluo never imagined he would come to this place and meet these people. He never imagined he would go through all these things, either.

As he sank in the depths of the sea, enduring the agony of having his bones reforged, he once asked himself: Did he regret it?

He regretted not choosing to let go. If he had, there would have been fewer entanglements, and he would not have had to suffer so much.

But when he saw that figure swimming toward him, taking his hand and pulling him into an embrace, he knew his answer: he had no regrets.

No regrets in life, no regrets in death, no regrets about venturing together to the Yellow Springs and walking hand in hand with him.

Reader's guide: Yang Mingluo cannot switch to Mo Wen until he becomes a Titled Douluo, though he'll have a few of Mo Wen's skills. The soul skills won't follow the game exactly. Some will be changed and some won't, roughly half and half.

Since I've added another character, the Seven Monsters become the Eight Monsters. Any arena fights described in the story will generally become 8v8, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing. Xiao Wu will get a happy ending.

I'm a loving author, so neither the top nor the bottom will be put through angst. The main plot isn't angsty, and neither is the content mentioned in the blurb. The main story should be serious, with just a little silliness mixed in.

My main pairing is my take on Tang San as the top x Yang Mingluo as the bottom. Yang Mingluo is the main character, and I'll give him a golden finger.
