[Don't read this. I'm terrible at writing but can't resist, and this is a deranged mess. Never again.]
The first time Su Ling transmigrated into this xianxia world,
she fell in love at first sight with a senior brother from her sect who cultivated the Way of Absolute Detachment.
But her love was unrequited, and she died without ever getting what she wanted.
She never expected to transmigrate back a hundred years later.
The people of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect said that their Sword Ancestor had fallen into demonic cultivation after his former Dao companion had abandoned him.
He killed his Dao companion to destroy his inner demon and severed all ties to love.
That was how he became the greatest sword cultivator of his age.
On the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, Su Ling kept her head bowed low.
The man, dressed in white with a sword as bright as snow, descended from the Azure Cloud Platform with a cold expression.
He stopped in front of her.
[Look up.]
Su Ling stiffened. She had no choice but to obey, her face twisting into a bitter grimace.
He stared straight at her, his eyes clear as glass.
After a long moment, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he spoke in a low, hoarse voice.
[You look like her.]
But you aren't her.
One-line summary: In her past life, she killed until her eyes ran red. In this life, she cried herself blind.
P.S. 1. This isn't a classic melodramatic tearjerker. It's a real groveling arc with a happy ending, and the male lead is the one who suffers. Male-lead fans, beware. If you like fluffy romance, please click away.
2. The female lead follows a classic underdog-to-powerhouse progression, while the male lead is more in the style of a serialized romance. He is clueless about love in the beginning, then turns dark and obsessive later.
Please add my next xianxia novel to your reading list:
"Transmigrated as the Female Lead Who Kills Her Husband to Attain the Dao"
Blurb: Lin Long borrowed a xianxia novel from her best friend.
She thought it would be a light, fluffy romance, but the very first chapter had the heroine fall in love with her disciple, then kill him with a single sword stroke to prove her Dao heart.
Lin Long was dumbfounded, both by the wild plot and by the fact that the heroine had the same name as her.
It was far too easy to imagine herself in the story, and her little heart couldn't take it.
But when she woke up, she had transmigrated into the book, becoming the Sword Ancestor of the Kunshan Sword Sect, who would later be the heroine who killed her husband to attain the Dao.
Several days later, at the apprenticeship ceremony,
Lin Long stood on the Yaoguang Platform and spotted a young man in the distance, handsome as a jade crown and peerless in all the world.
The main plot couldn't be changed. In the end, the young man still became her disciple and her first pupil.
Lin Long didn't think that was a bad thing.
She planned to keep her heart calm, teach him well, and let him graduate successfully. Then she could call it a job well done, and everyone would be happy.
But an accident left her injured and trapped with the young man in the Demon Abyss.
As she drifted toward sleep, the young man pulled her tightly into his arms.
His breath was scorching as he buried his face in the hollow of Lin Long's neck.
"Master, when will you fall in love with me?"
"And will you marry me like you did in your past life, then kill me to attain the Dao?"
P.S. The male lead is reborn and doesn't love the original heroine. In their past life, the original heroine forced him to become her Dao companion.
Theme: The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed. Stay true to yourself and strive to become the best version of yourself.
